Though I'm thinking I actually need several blogs - one for real life, read by real life friends, one for real life that real life friends (and especiallly spouses) know nothing about, and one for drivel. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>Dear Ziggi - it would happen to you, wouldn't it. Should I turn the bloody WV off, or is it too much fun?Mangonelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674752753786940378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35545212.post-54851974594622916502007-09-25T06:49:00.000+00:002007-09-25T06:49:00.000+00:00WV was pzwankI know what it means - happy TuesdayWV was pzwank<BR/><BR/>I know what it means - happy TuesdayZighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325808421083028026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35545212.post-38268817928377166612007-09-25T06:48:00.000+00:002007-09-25T06:48:00.000+00:00c'est la vie and schadenfreude(good grief I'm a li...c'est la vie and schadenfreude<BR/><BR/>(good grief I'm a linguist and didn't realise)Zighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325808421083028026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35545212.post-58362399810663957912007-09-23T22:40:00.001+00:002007-09-23T22:40:00.001+00:00(that didn't come out quite right but maybe you kn...(that didn't come out quite right but maybe you know what I mean)I, Like The Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423569600315825506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35545212.post-61769306756525213462007-09-23T22:40:00.000+00:002007-09-23T22:40:00.000+00:00I have learnt (the hard way)(very hard) that it is...I have learnt (the hard way)<B>(very hard)</B> that it is <I>not</I> wise to say anything to anyone<BR/><BR/>at all<BR/><BR/>thus now I try and say nothing to anyone and I do not say anything to noone <BR/><BR/>obviously if I had someone to talk to I'd probably say something <I>(and regret it later)</I><BR/><BR/>so in the meantime I just churn out the usual old written nonsense which is read by. . .<BR/><BR/><I>(maybe best not to go there!)</I><BR/><BR/><B>really nice to see you back!</B>I, Like The Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423569600315825506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35545212.post-36424943656456113882007-09-23T05:51:00.000+00:002007-09-23T05:51:00.000+00:00The thing is, I never want to hear that kind of cr...The thing is, I never want to hear that kind of crap from anyone other than the person it happened to. I think, "No, no, I didn't hear that, you didn't say that, I don't know that." But I <I>do</I>, now, and it pisses me off, because it changes my angle with respect to the other person just a bit, changes my perspective, and I want to form my own perspective, damn it. And I can't erase it. Grr.<BR/><BR/>Often people tell me about unpleasant experiences with people I like, and I have much the same reaction. I want to keep on liking them, I want to base my relationship with them on my personal experience and not some possibly distorted third-person view, and now it's too late.<BR/><BR/>Plus, who wants to share anything with someone like this?<BR/><BR/>Arrrrrgh.
