Wow!
Even your tongue is pretty!

Sorry - I actually read your whole JOURNAL.
It's just that I can't resist the one-liners.

You have way interesting thoughts on the nature of our existance on SG.
I have those same thoughts.
Your first paragraph sounds exactly like what goes on in my head when I drive.
Except I forget it all by the time I get to the computer.
The difference between us would be that ultimately I decide not to censor myself in the interest of holding others' interest.
I think everything is fair game.
Otherwise what's the point of all this?
For the most part we all don't know each other except in our digital incarnations.
So why not take chances and do and write whatever the fuck we feel like?
I admit to being somewhat patronizing and endeavoring to entertain my "readers".
But really, all I care about is amusing myself and expressing myself and learning stuff and catharsis and looking at pretty girls.

I think we may get a tree for the first time in 12 years....

I've never been to an American Apparel store, so this is mere speculation.....Maybe they have some secret language of their own so they can speak "freely" in front of customers. Maybe "I went to this artist-loft party last night" is code for "Hey, check out that hottie" or "Watch that weird girl, she may try to shoplift".....or maybe I'm giving this too much thought.

As for your thoughts on writing a journal on here. I feel much the same way when it comes to MySpace. On here I have some friends and people I have been talking to on here for several years. I also have the ability to make it viewable to only members. On MySpace I leave it completely public so I walk a fine line between "is this going to be interesting enough for those I actually give a fuck about" and "is this going to be too open and personal so some psycho bastard can learn about me".

Happy Belated Birthday

Sorry about your cat....hope things go well.

mostly I use the journal option on the site in an attempt to keep my writing skills intact. I use to post everyday thoughts and happenings, but that slowly devolved into "my job sucks" and "today it rained and I got wet". no real eye-catching news there. now I try to write more thought out entries, though the language may still be crude at times. and I'm too lazy or too apathetic for pics most of the time. meh.

happy belated b-day. enjoy your tea.

My thought about the MTV generation is that they need to learn that words are not mere accessories for pictures - who better to teach that lesson than a stunning, highly literate Suicidegirl?

Happy Belated B'day! I love Christmas season too - it's just coming too damn fast this year...

Sorry about your kitty - glad he's getting a lengthy reprieve.

Interesting the different treatments vets decide upon for renal failure in cats. My Ozzie first started experiencing renal failure problems two and a half years ago and I've been injecting him with 200 ml of Lactated Ringers fluids every two days since then, rather than the semi-annual drip. It seems like he's going to live forever at this point (he'll be 22 in February).

AH!!! What a brilliant blog.
I love it. And my mind totally does the filtering thing too. AND THE PICTURE THING. I have to post photos of everything I'm talking about. Every movie cover, every book cover, every album cover, etc.
But my mind does do the filter thing and damn if I don't enjoy it at least a little. My scanner's always on and when (for example) I read my comics every week there are always times that my mind says "scan this part for the blog."
Bexi is right, too. Every blog really only has about ten readers that stick with you. the rest are people on your friends' list who added you for other reasons or just have really short attention spans.
I love that someone else is thinking these things.

ps- U R Hawt

I'm sorry about your cat.

And it's a cute photo.

And it's good to talk to someone who lives even farther north than I do.

yea tea!

I used to blog a lot because of that impersonal, inconsequential feeling. then I got pissed off about having thoughts and feelings that felt valuable to me just out, available to people who don't give a fuck about me or how I feel.

so now I don't really blog very much.

(p.s. thanks for the sparkler photo)

I read your whole entry, but now I have no clever comments to prove it. I'll blame it on it being early in the morning and me not having had enough sleep tonight. Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Mmmmh Tea...

I have a friend from Serbia, it is a very complex social and political situation over there. Nice comparison.

I think the american apparel stuff is bullshit. I miss Die Machine!

I enjoy blogs w pics!

I put in my journal what ever I want to put in there, I feel that the people on my friends list are more m¥ friends then the ones in real life. I just put down what I'm thinking or something that happened that day.

I will read what ever you put on here, and I will read the whole thing, I do not scan. And I do not need a photo.

That is great, most of the time I don't even see a friend on my birthday. You look really cute in that photo.

That is a very smart conclusion

I'm not sure if I have ever been to an American apparel store.

I'm so with you, I love Christmas so much, I love going Christmas shopping and I love how everything looks, I get tired of everyone saying how bad Christmas is, I think it's great. I've been shopping for the past 2 days.

I'm glad your cat is going to be ok.
