It looks like i may have someone interested in buying my old monitor as is. I told him $15 and told him the things that were wrong with it. Full disclosure, right? Colour tint is a bit yellow/green and once in awhile it "shivers" but maybe it's just interference from something, someone suggested today. Anyway it might have another year or so left in it. That's cool though, it will get out from under my feet if he decides he wants it.

Lots of people on my flist seems to be either too busy, on holidays or other stuff to post or else nothing momentous to say so they don't post. I miss you if you haven't posted for awhile but I guess it's not a bad thing if nothing is making you all upset to post ranty, ravey, frustrated things. What about little successes, fun stuff, and nice things? I do know a couple of people have got new or recent jobs, Go YOU! The rest of you, tell me something you've achieved lately! Or something nice that's happened to you or that you've done for someone else! Maybe you've done something a little different. Maybe you saw something amusing. Such as my fashion "faux pas" for the week...I saw someone in a pair of pale pink tight spandex leggings yesterday morning. She wasn't really large but, well... me dad would say "Must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that!" Trust me. NOT a good look.

And.. i had lunch today with a coworker, someone i rarely do that with but we happened to be at the same coffee shop at the same time. We had a nice discussion over some yummy food and it was quite enjoyable since i usually just take my lunch back to the office and sit at my desk.

Do you post when you just have everyday stuff to write about? Isn't that what a journal is for? or do you post for your audience? I tend to do a bit of both because i know there's people reading. I don't want to bore people but on the other hand, i also like to write to have a record for myself sometimes.

LOL
I post for myself mostly
sometimes I find myself hittin delete saying, who on earth would want to read THAT
then I re=type and say the hell with it, it's my post, read it or not.

I find it sometimes a little on the boring side, as I tend to post, this is what i did, this is what I need to do... and do generally *hate* those types of entires when I do do it.

But mebbe it needs to be done too... to get it straight in my head LOL

but because theres people reading, I sometimes do not divulge as much as I SHOULD, or want to, or feel I can...

I sometimes do not divulge as much as I SHOULD, or want to, or feel I can I do exactly the same thing. I do tend to make a lot of private journals as well for those things that I just want to remind myself of months later.

[sendingsmiles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've resorted to doing that too...
private
yah, between yourself and your LJ and all the million hackers out there, LOL

[tvor.livejournal.com]

If it's something you need to get off your chest, you can always mark the post as private. I know it does help writing out things that are bothering you. It's like writing a letter to someone you're upset or angry with. You write it and then y ou tear it up lol

[lola-is-naughty.livejournal.com]

I tend to post more for myself than anyone else, whether it be funny or just something mundane. I like think people on my flist think I have interesting things to say, but if they don't, it's my journal, not theirs.

[tvor.livejournal.com]

I certainly enjoy your posts and i missed you when you were offline for awhile there. I sometimes don't post if i really don't have much of interest at all to say but i do enjoy reading about everyone's daily life as well.

*waves*

I am too full of self indulgence with the house at the moment - I suppose I am a bit scared of boring people...

[tvor.livejournal.com]

You are *never* boring, dahling!

[acey.livejournal.com]

I started posting as another venue for my kids to follow my daily life, however I am not sure they even read my journal any more :)

Then I posted for myself, and gradually slid into censoring some of what I wrote as "too boring, too snide, too ridiculous, too hurtful, too judgmental.." etc. I guess I am conscious of my audience although you never know just who is reading you unless you are Friends Only.

I like reading everyone's posts, no matter what they are about. :)

[tvor.livejournal.com]

that's one of the reasons why some people make their journal "friends only". I do censor myself a lot when it comes to pouring out my feelings because even in "real life" i keep most of them inside. I'll keep that for a private entry. And i too, love to read everyone's posts no matter what even if i don't always comment. It's the ultimate reality show isn't it? I have such diverse people on my flist and i love it!

[acey.livejournal.com]

I don't like it when "friends" disappear with no warning :\ I wish folks would just put a little note on their journals, even if they are not coming back because I always wonder if they're okay, or not well, or having a crisis or something.

I too am not a publically emotional kind of person, here or in real life :) Sometimes I feel I should post more "personal" stuff, but I do it and delete it. Makes me feel vulnerable or something, I dunno. It's not like I have a lot to hide LOL.

[gramie-dee.livejournal.com]

I don't usually post every day things (as you know), I usually wait until there's something of slight significance that I might raise a laugh out of lol. I'm not posting for an audience though I like to amuse anyone who might be reading.

[tvor.livejournal.com]

You post to amuse lol I guess women on the whole tend to be wordier maybe.

[gramie-dee.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that women talk too much? Oh I don't believe that. ;)

[tvor.livejournal.com]

Wellyou can keep up with me admirably when you get going lol

[gramie-dee.livejournal.com]

It's kill or be killed I'm afraid. ;)

[psychfringe.livejournal.com]

i LOVE that lobster!..I saw that yesterday down at the water front.
I took my mawm down there. I should have gotten a picture of her standing beside it. Next time, Ill get her to pose with the same hand gesture as you.~grin~\../

[tvor.livejournal.com]

Ooh yes DO IT yes do it do it you know you want to , Mom making Metal Horns at the Rock Lobster!!! \M/ and we want to see the rawkCarm too!

[gramie-dee.livejournal.com]

Get her to yell "METAL!!!!!" too lol.

[psychfringe.livejournal.com]

*crap* I just wrote a post, pressed enter and kaBAM it was gone.

anywhore, Ive been a terrible lj'er lately. I go thru spurts, i suppose. I love reading about peoples lives and I just wish that I could be more eloquent in my replies to people, especially when theyre going through tough times. Im a bad post-backer.

I read Ang's post about people disappearing without any warning and i felt a twinge of guilt.~cringe~.
i dont not post for any kinda of drama, its just that i dont feel as though sometimes its worth commenting about, maybe?I dunno....and youre right.Its a journal.Its not for anyone to critique, right?.

[tvor.livejournal.com]

Sometimes someone else has already said what i would have so i don't reply. But i do miss the people that don't post for weeks at a time, even though i know sometimes it's just because they're very busy.

[acey.livejournal.com]

Oh I didn't mean you, Cin! I have a couple people on my list right now whom I loved to read and they just abruptly stopped posting. I am hoping they are okay.

[aditi-.livejournal.com]

I don't post as much as I used to anymore, mostly 'coz I feel I don't have anything of interest to say....but I read religiously...lol.

[sammantha.livejournal.com]

I feel like ang does..if someone goes off the lj, it would be nice to just put a sentence in cause I get 'concerned' about those people..I worry that something horrible is wrong..or they are sick..etc. But lj is what you make of it.
I write for me..the 'stories' I tell..true stories..I retell them so others can get as much of a laugh at them as i did when they happened. I love the variety of people and LOVE reading about their lives....even if it is a 'boring' post as we all feel sometimes. That is life. That is reality. My life is somewhat of an open book. At least on here it can be and I find it very theraputic to write whether it is about concerns or venting or a funny story. I feel close to the people on my flist.
It isn't the same as face to face chatting for sure..but it is nice to read about people's days..cause I find even with people that live around here..either not connecting by phone..or in person cause of schedules, work, kids etc. it is a better alternative than not knowing what is going on in their lives at all..and then when time permits..we get together for a lj luncheon or sumthin :)

thing I achieved recently : I've been offered and accepted an editing possition with Torquere Press. I'm all kinds of happy about that.

[tvor.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Well done!! What sort of things will you be editing??

[rockiesgirl.livejournal.com]

I have always felt like I was born to be an editor, but wouldn't have a clue how to go about getting a job like that. Well done, to you!!!
