Yeah, I vent alot

[figmo]

Most of the time when I have lots of time to write in my journal, it's because:

• I don't have enough going on in my life.
• I'm too sick to deal with whatever is supposed to be going on in my life.

Either way, these are less-than-pleasant situations.

I realized folks reading my LJ who don't know me well enough or in person might think all I do in person is whine, moan, and complain and never joke around. Um...when I'm out joking around and getting stuff done, I'm usually too busy to update my journal.

In person, I'm very proactive. I like getting things done. Not getting things done drives me nuts. When I can take action to fix things, I do. When I can't, I complain because it's all I can do.

Hence, when I'm updating my journal, it's often because I'm not up to getting much of anything done, so....

Reminds me of :

'Writing'

A man who keeps a diary, pays
Due toll to many tedious days;
But life becomes eventful--then
His busy hand forgets the pen.
Most books, indeed, are records less
Of fulness than of emptiness.

-- William Allingham

p.s. I can testify that you're great fun in person :)
