brain noodles

Shall I do a sleep vs work count? Or y'all bored with that shtick yet?

It seems to me that's all of what I post about these days. Well, a few maggot stories notwithstanding. If you think it makes for dull reading, it makes for pretty dull posting too.

The thing is, there's stuff going on that I want to noodle about on here - and I can't.

I always figured a lot of people get Drama going on in their journals because they immortalize things in text that are best discussed over pints at the pub. If you want to slag somebody, for fuck's sake, do it where you aren't leaving any physical evidence.

But.

I'm well aware of the fact that writing engages a different part of the brain than talking, or just chewing about in yer privates. If you really want to get a good handle on something, sometimes writing it really helps.

And then, you know, there's that whole feedback thing. And the resulting mental clarification that comes out of explaining What I Really Meant to the inevitable person who didn't get it.

But.

Hrm.

Pros and cons - The stuff I'm chewing over is basically the things that somebody did and my own "stuff" about it. Everything I would be reporting would be true. And quite frankly, if said person is unhappy about having their laundry aired in public, I don't give the slightest iota of a flying fuck. It sucks to be an asshole. Insert appropriate finger gesture here.

Pros and cons - People who I consider friends who are still friends with this person. Puts them in a bit of an awkward spot. Or maybe not, they're all grown-ups after all.

Pros and cons - One I just thought of - talking about it would violate the privacy of somebody I do care very much about. Crap. Guess that settles that.

Still. It would have been nice to ramble a bit.
