I Think I've GOT IT!
Hey guys, I think I've fixed the links that shoudl take you to my old blogs. Will someone check and see if they are really fixed? I'm afraid to trust my work. Thanks ~
Tired of Serious
Do you ever get tired of your own personality? Actually, in real life, I'm cool with who I am. I laugh long and often. But I think the person I am in real life is very different from the person you know through reading my blogs. When I sit down to write, it doesn't matter what I have in mind, it invariably becomes serious.
I have that problem when I write fiction. I start off thinking I'm going to tell a lighthearted romp of a tale and before I've finished the first scene, someone is bleeding or crying or well, my sister says "You write intense." The problem differs only in degree when I sit down to write an essay. Especially if its supposed to be a personal thing where I give you a glimpse into my soul. Reading back over blogs from past months, I shake my head and say, "Lighten the hell up!" (Then I quickly look around to see if anyone heard me use the word "hell".) You see what I mean?

I have always thought of you as a deep person with a very incredible sense of humor and fun. A lot of your writing is very deep but it has a tone of humor in it as well. I see you using the word hell
Plus the way you and your sister go back and forth cracks me up!!
YOu do tend to be serious but maybe its just because you are so much lighter in real life..maybe its your way of having an outlet for what you really want to say or need to but dont have the venue in life..i dont know im reaching here
either way i like your blogs i just tend to comment on the lighter ones as i have never been that great at the intellectual aspect of things
I say if you enjoy the way your writing keep doing it and dont worry about how heavy or light it is ..after all its supposed to be for you

I saw that you typed the word.. hell... oh crap, now I've typed the word hell too... crap, now I've done it again... arg... now I've typed crap too... now look what you've got me into
~sorry but typing that comment was too much fun for me... perhaps I've issues
This sounds like a conversation I had with Steve the other week...I told him he is the lucky one because he can get away from me for awhile, but I can't!!
Don't you have family on Xanga??? Aren't you worried someone will tell on you for your profanity usage?
I think of you as a very intelligent & fun person! No doubt we would have a blast if we all went out one evening. By the way, what happened to your sis? I went to visit her site and it was gone! I've been out of the loop awhile so I hope nothing is wrong.
When I write anything, regardless of what it's about, it rarely ever seems serious. I have a hard time with being serious at least when I write.
Hearing you (reading you) use profanity is like turning on "Little House on the Prairie" and seeing Laura Ingalls roll a doobie - it just ain't right ......
Laura Ingalls rolling a doobie! I can't even imagine! I know how you can be a fun person......I remember a hardwood chair eposide one night in Minnesota..... I love your blogs - keep writing! ps I won't tell your family, hopefully they won't read you today!
She is going share that doobie, right?
Nancy - was I sober? I don't remember the hardwood chair. Are you talking about the one that I burned in the fireplace? It's good to have a friend here.
Laugh!! I feel that way on a regular basis!! It's not so bad though; the feeling doesn't stick around long, even if it comes often. Let me put it this way... I'd rather be serious about life because I can also be have some serious fun
But can people who are never serious have some fun serious??? hmmm.... can't think about that right now... I'm currently in sick-of-serious mode LOL
I'm a lot more articulate in writing than in conversation. It's why some of my best friends are on the internet....
I didn't try all the links, but the sampling that I tried all worked correctly.
Well I'm tired of depressed... as in, everything I write is tainted with doom and gloom of late and that really is so very little of what my life is about. I need to write about Happy Happy Joy Hell!
you think you have a problem? i attempt to write something serious and then everything mostly ends up wacky. or ends in boobies and beer.
*laughing* I know exactly what you mean! You show us a part of yourself.. -- we all have many faces.. some we show more often than others.. .. you'll come around.. see you already used profanity! that is a step in the light hearted direction..
*LOL* at Virg. Hell is a bad word? I'm in trouble.
OH I love the way you write.
I enjoy leaving and thinking about your words. They stay with me for a while. I like anyone that can make me think.
Yep, I heard you!!!!
Lighten up!!

Ohoh...if hell is a bad word I am in BIG trouble!
I hear you as both serious and funny. I tend to be more serious on Xanga because I get the unspoken message that people in person don't want things to be serious, so this is where I can talk. In person, I'm smiley and fun-loving.
I don't know much about you, but it sounds like an interesting parallel to something about myself:
I've always been the class-clown, the funny (or at least trying to be) outgoing type. Yet I consistently score as an "introvert" on personality tests.
It took me a long time to figure out that the only reason I'm funny and outgoing is because people scare the hell out of me.
Oops. I said the "H' word... Hope nobody read that......
There's nothing wrong with being serious in your writings. I've done that myself a few times. Things that are serious tend to make more of an impact than lightheartedness sometimes...you know?
Xanga is a place for all types of writers...
Oddly enough I know your plight!
Sail on... sail on!!!
Your deep thoughts are the reflection of your soul Teri . But the humor about the little things may lead also to the deep thoughts or incite them .
Love Michel
