Where The Hell Have I Been All Week?
Mar. 17th, 2006 07:21 pmWould you believe- I've been busy? Still at the same temp job, and it's been a lot of fun. We're almost done with a very big file purge and shift, and I'll go back next week for a couple more days. A little more money is fine by me. I come home dog tired, but it's actually nice to feel productive again, even though at this point I'm just a lowly temp. I hope it eventually leads to better things.
This weekend, I'll hit the thrift shops again, this time for shoes for the wedding. If I was going to wear the purple dress, I could wear black shoes that I already have, but with an actual off-white wedding dress, I'll need to get off-white shoes. May the thrift gods smile upon me once more...
I've been having sort of an LJ "crisis of content" lately. I experience things I want to write about here, then I decide not to bother because I feel I can't convey what I'm thinking about in an interesting way. Like all the "real" bloggers out there do. I feel shallow and boring. Yeah, I'm a temp. I'm getting married soon. *Yawn* There's a lot more to my life these days, but it's hard to say much more than that. I'm far more content to just read and (very, very occasionally) comment. Which leads to my other LJ crisis: fear of adding people. Recently, I've been going to the info pages of people I don't know well or who I don't know in "real life" at all. I'll click on people on their friends list, and read the journals of strangers. I no longer feel creepy doing this, after all, if a journal is open, anyone can read it. My problem is that when I find someone really interesting or funny that I'd like to read more often, I'm too chicken to add them. Why? My reasons are all quite silly:
A) It almost feels like I'd be party-crashing and "stealing" someone else's friends.
B) I'm way boring.
C) What cool and interesting person would ever add back someone like me- *way* boring and never leaves comments?
There is a person I'm aquainted with, a friend of friends, everyone that knows her thinks she's the coolest thing ever. She has a non-LJ blog, and every now and then, I'll pop in and read the latest. She writes a huge amount of stuff about everyday life, sometimes several long posts a day, all of it very interesting and engaging. I'm jealous of anyone who has that gift.
See, I have these LJ worries and obsessions from time to time, then people tell me I'm being a complete doofus, and it usually passes...
