I feel the urge to blog today rather than do mod posts because my mood has been so unpredictable lately and I think that regulates how I think a post is going to go or how I react to characters reacting to things that are written for them to help guide them in a certain direction. I don't want to be unpredictable. I find it interesting that some people blog about over-arching concepts, or about things that they feel will improve the game, or helpful writing tricks or tips. Folks often blog about fun facts like favorite numbers, songs, even pcs they no longer play - but rarely (unless you read between the lines) blog about themselves. However, like every rule there are exceptions. There are several people here that do blog about themselves... and I have a confession to make. Those are my favorite kinds. I love reading the rants, the raves, and everything in between. I love it when someone just has to get something off their chest and does so in the form of a blog. I don't care if its the kids someone has to deal with at work, or a gripe about parents, or even a rant about a teacher or employer. I like to feel the humaness of a person in the grip of a problem, a joy, a moment that will never again be that same way again.
I think that is probably why, back in my heavy blogging days, I used to mainly blog about myself. I really don't have any witty advice or helpful hints for anyone. In fact, I'm probably the last person that should be dispensing such things, so I go with what I know best - me.
I've been in a funk lately. And my funk has just gotten worse and worse, truth be told... but something happened today that made me come to a realization, and I actually feel better about myself than I have for about two weeks. Everyone chalks a funk in a female up to PMS or something like 'extreme work stress' or some other form of crisis in their world, but the truth is usually so far from that it's not even funny. Sometimes, people are even so rude...
