This evening, when I was talking to Kellie, we were discussing our live journals. I mentioned that there are some people that I read, that they are so politically astute, write such intelligent, articulate entries - that when I attempt to write about similar topics, I feel like much of what I write probably comes across as immature. That I read like a bumbling 12 year old looking for something to angst over besides whether or not some boy likes me, and which teen idols are the dreamiest.

I know that I write whatever comes to mind - that sometimes, it does come across as being relatively intelligent, and other times, it may seem silly. And that's perfectly fine - this is my journal, I can write about anything and everything I damn well please. Besides, to be honest, when I try writing for an audience, it's obvious. It reads as being contrived, as though I'm pandering for attention or something.

So I may not be the most politically active and articulate person. Thanks to you that write about those issues, I can get a better understanding of what I hear on the radio while I'm getting to sleep, or just waking up.

I have my issues. I have my many-colored days. I'm not the best at leaving comments for others - but I do read what you all have to say. It's taken me a long time, but I'm starting to discover where my talents lie. I still get frustrated with myself over truly asinine things. I apologize too much. I want to speak my mind - and when I do, I feel bad about it. I write erotic stories - yet can't bring myself to watch porn. I've just gotten to where I don't feel bad for being angry.

Yet, those of you that read me, still read along. Even when I'm not having the best of days - or I don't come across as the most intelligent person ever.

I appreciate knowing that.

you don't have to be politically active and articulate to write something meaningful. i admire everyone who shares their thoughts and stories. i enjoy reading what you have to write. and i like knowing someone may be enjoying my silly ramblings as well.

take care

" I write erotic stories - yet can't bring myself to watch porn."

Oh, my goodness. That is so me! I'm so glad we have this in common. And, yes, I don't read all entries, but I do read most. I appreciate your candor and life skills.

Honey, you are very articulate and intelligent! *hugs* You rock, bebeh!!

Carly, I love reading your journal. :) I know whaty ou mean though, I am the same way...My journal is meant to post about my life, about my thoughts and I read it over and feel like a stupid teenager. That's why I created the DJ to post real essays and "articulate thoughts". I can say however I have no problem whatsover with what you write. Its wonderful to read :) Keep writing the way you are *smooch*

i like leaving notes like this:

:)

that's it. it's when i don't have anything particularly witty or stunning to say, but just to let you know i've read it, thought about it and just wanted to let you know. just imaging it as the blank, vacant stare of an idiot woman-child who has no idea what you're talking about, but sure likes to read. ;)

I, along with these other fine peeps, love to read your journal. In addition to reading along, I like to wear a bright red fez with a loooong gold tassel and dance like a monkey in your journal!

Please never stop adding your wit and wisdom to this little community!
