I need to spend more time on real life. I’m doing too much escaping. To this end I’m going to lighten up my reading load on the internet. I don’t know if livejournal will hit my radar much. Not like people other than rbus are posting anyway. These days I come and read on Sunday nights just to keep up with him and otherwise I don’t check. I hope I don’t start forgetting. I really like my rbus hour every week. It’s the closest I have to keeping up with a tv show or a periodical story. 😀 I can’t wait to see the murder book when it is done. If it is for sale I am buying more than one copy.
I will probably still post because I think by expressing these things in writing. I love comments and that may be the easiest place to poke me for conversation if you aren’t keeping up with me in real life. I’m not great at responding to emails because they get buried in my inbox. Since I switched to gmail I can’t organize my inbox for shit. I really don’t like the feel. I kind of want outlook back. I lose messages and then I never respond and I feel like a total asshole. Then I build up all this anxiety around the person I forgot to respond to (I kind of remember in my head occasionally that “I should go do that”) and it gets harder and harder. Till I don’t want to. Till I don’t want to see them at all because I feel so stupid and guilty.
I need to get off the internet for a while. Reading it isn’t doing great things for me.
This resonates so much with me, especially the bit about having anxiety about keeping in touch.
I hope you get the most you can out of your hiatus. You and your posts will be missed. 🙂
What she said…
Some of this feels like you’re inside my head.
You don’t HAVE to read my posts, y’know.
It’s just the same thing week after week, anyways.
like The Secret Storm.
or
The Guiding Light.
or
Search for Tomorrow.
or
Love of Life.
And,
sooner or later, the Murder Book will be available.
I’m hoping ALL my LJ peeps buy at least 50 or 60 each.
I know lots of ways to murder, by now, y’know.
And how to get away with it too:
(be a pretty, young, slightly hysterical woman and draw an an all-male jury).
So… keep that in mind.
