Posts Tagged ‘“Best of …”’
a thing of uncertain beauty? a thing of uncertainty indeed …
I started a post last night to address something that’s been bothering me but I kept back tracking, considering if it would be taken with a level of distaste not meant. I scrapped it for now.
I’m lazing about after a fairly disappointing weekend. No “TD”. No “clubbing” (if you can call the 3 times in months I have even left the house other than for work and groceries … oh fuggit …). Nothing. I just watched some television (not a frequent indulgence) and then spent far too long on Twitter flirting with my #TweepOrgy crushes.
The real reason for blogging this evening (so late in fact for me) is the feelings I’ve experienced this week. Feelings of desire, great compassion, curiosity, empathy, need, loneliness. I’ve met several people on Twitter, all of varying personalities, occupations, proclivities and so on. I’m intrigued by little things about each person, their experiences, their compassion, their openness … and I’ve been drawn to these things. Maybe out of my own place of insecurity in my relationships right now, out of loneliness and out of questioning where I am going in my own life.
Amongst this, as I said, desire has built up. I chalk it up to being lonely, wanting someone not only to connect to emotionally but with physically. Because I see the physical as a “no go” and something I’m trying to keep out of my life to some extent, I’m glad to connect emotionally if I can and even a bit sexually. Hey, flirting never hurt … well, maybe it has.
I’m not making sense, partially because while I know my blog over the years has had inconsistent and small readership, I know that there could be a time when someone will read it and wonder. I’m not ready to put all my cards on the table at this point, to admit to things taboo or to admit to desires that will go unfulfilled. After all, haven’t I done that enough with “R”? With “TM2″ and with “Ivo”? I’m really tiring of these more intellectual crushes that lead me to feeling inadequate as a person and as a potential mate. I don’t want more of that in my life.
I’m not making sense. I accept this. I am not focusing well still. I feel awfully sick today (“nacho hangover”?). I always have an excuss for not being able to focus. Is it the Fibro? Is it that I’m damaged? Is it that I’m just not very bright? My ADHD? I know I’m better than these things but I’ll be damned if I can prove it.
I’m going to lie down and think for a bit. That’s my bane, the thinking. Always with the thinking and the “hey, stop that thinking!”

“twitterfied” aka “let’s talk about me”
I’ve been on Twitter a lot lately and boy, it’s an experience. When I first joined in ’09 it was “what are you doing?” but now it’s (de)volved into “what are you wearing?”. It’s like one big text orgy or maybe it’s just the people I talk to. Is there any wonder? *wink*
But I’m here to talk about my brilliant observation about Twitter lately which is that people really, really want to be “popular” or liked.
Let’s talk about “ME”.
I’m sure every decade has had it’s share of “Me” fads. We have the “Me” generation which I’m told is made up of any one born in the 70s, 80s and 90s which means ME as well. We (those born during those decades) have reasonably become fascinated by the “self” and the exploration of it. It makes good psychological sense that we would, as technology and medicine progress, want to make the most of our youth and discover “our selves”. I say “our selves” because it seems to me that as we go through life discovering what makes us tick, we find there are many selves lurking below the surface. Again, with technology advancing, we are now able to entertain as many interests as we like, meet many new people without leaving home and present to the world as many versions of ourselves as we like.
I think I’m straying off point … Read more
