open invite?
For awhile there i was doing a better job blogging. I averaged about 1 entry every 10 days, often times one or two a week. And then there was a certain incident where the fourth wall was suddenly torn down, and ever since then i've barely said mum (it is the word, you know). Oddly enough, this happened around the same time that other blogs out there got shuffled around to become more anonymous. I told myself i wouldn't do that, that i'd just keep on writing like before. Fuck 'em. But.... i suck at that. From the looks of it, i've turned more vague and post less often. I've been pretty busy all and all, but come on let's be serious: 6 or 7 posts in 16 weeks, and only one or two of them of any real substance. That's pathetic. What you don't know (or do know, if you also do this sort of thing) is how many entries go untyped and unpublished. I have a hard time even remembering what they were going to be. Unborn children never given a name.
That said (phewww... getting me depressed here), let's say there's a character or two out there that haven't yet been written about, and don't even really know that they're part of the show. Given my past experiences and knowing myself like i do, should i let them in on the story before they've even had a chance to become a part of it? I'm torn. This blog encapsulates so much of what i've gone through in the last year and a half that it's become the easiest way to really share my current self with someone, scars and flaws and all. Ms Q claimed she knew more about me from blog than from talking to me in person (yes, that's past tense - another entry never written down). In some ways it feels like a cop-out to just send someone to the blog, but it also feels like i'm hiding something if i don't invite them to take a look.
Whatever... there's no right or wrong answer to this one. We'll see how it goes. What a week it has been. As for those untyped/unposted entries... i bet there are 4 or 5 mulling around in my head right now. Maybe i'll let a few out of their cages.

Grrr, grrr, grrr...I hate when I write a big long comment, only to get the evil server not found message upon hitting the Post button (and hence losing the entire comment). Argh. I will see if I can re-create it again later. :(
