The End is Nigh
I got my signals crossed
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Back with my Wanderlust
I think I am going to stop blogging. I know I have only been on here a few weeks, and that blogging is extremely cathartic, but my blog doesn't really serve much other purpose. It's really only me being self-pitying, since I don't have anything interesting to talk about.
It also means that people come here and read my site, and get the information they want, and then leave again. Which means no-one e-mails me because they don't have to, they just find out about my life on here. Which is kind of lonely.
I am also going to stop reading everyone else's blogs. For much the same reason, in that I don't tend to e-mail them as much, which is sad since they're my friends. And also, I can't tell what the hell is going on in their lives most of the time, since everyone's so damn cryptic when their site is public, so I have to make up my own scenarios from what they say (which in many cases, is actually worse than just knowing what is really happening, such is my fertile imagination!).
In addition I feel that I comment on peoples's blogs too much (well not ON their blog, but by e-mail), because I feel that I need to tell them stuff or respond to what they write, when in fact most of it is not meant to be responded to. So I am sure that I am pissing various people off by sending them e-mails every other day, when they probably have much better things to do than read yet another boring diatribe from me. If I have done this to anyone, then I apologise. It's only because I feel left out of everything over here, and any kind of contact with my friends is so needed.
So in short, I guess I am going to rely on good old-fashioned (in terms of the internet) e-mail and letter to people from now on, and I will try and stop being such a bore. Although if I e-mail you, it means I am thinking about you, so I guess you can take that out of it.
Laters people.

Hmmm.
Booooo......
Or alternatively, I think this is a lot more than a whinge-fest, Jen. It's quite poignant and beautiful in its way, far more coherent than the muddled rantbag that is my own site.
And there are only two reasons I've not been mailing. One is my rather self-absorbed, anxious, and busy tendency at the minute, which has caused me not to mail anyone in days. The other is the fact that I hardly ever mail anyone I talk to on messenger. I tend to see the two as either/or options. Blogging's something else - part email, part diary, part scrapbook, part opinion column.
Keep it up, Jen. I like it. Lots.
