The Interesting Thing About Blogs...

...is that you can't really write what you feel here.

It's a public forum. It's not a diary you keep on your nightstand. It doesn't have a lock on it. What you write, you must be willing to accept will be read by others, who will respond accordingly.

I dunno, I've just been hearing a lot lately about people using blogs to express their....um....not so positive emotions. Which, incidentally, I think is important in terms of venting and letting go of anger. But sometimes it's not the most constructive thing to put it out there in the open where you can make a volatile situation worse, say hurtful things that others will read and be hurt by.

And what was the story once on that guy who got fired because of what he wrote in his blog about his job?

Communication skills....where are they, and why don't people learn them?

Oh, and for anyone who's reading this and hoping for updates from me, I would like to report that directorship is MINE (bwahhaha), that I'm working on earning a Grand Prix now, and that I'm about to go down to South Bend for a conference where I will be celebrated on stage! wahoo! Also, I've got about 10-12 pages of my thesis done in a rough copy, and will have at least 5 more pages by middle of next month. Still getting awesome reviews--I'm really happy. :)

I'm also working on getting some stuff out to journals and contests within the next couple months--I have a fairly decent body of work now that's good for submitting (at least I keep telling myself that--my inner perfectionist disagrees, but she always disagrees, so I'm telling her to take a hike).

OH! AND CHIROPRACTORS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE THEM. Dr. Todd is my new best friend, my lumbar lover, my right-hip-man. $30 dollars and me love him long time. ;)
