self-absorption

by

i find myself being very self-conscious about the number of paragraphs i begin with the letter “i”. especially when it’s used as a pronoun. “i blah blah blah…” i look back over the page and cringe. i purposefully rework entries before posting to eliminate as many as possible.
then i think about why i’m doing that. why i’m worried about it. this is my fucking website. if i want to start every sentence with “i” why not? this is about me. me! me! me! if you don’t like it, go read that insightful crap on other people’s pages.

    I think your site is insightful just the way it is. Use any pronoun you like girlfriend! We love you just the way you are!

    That sounded dirty.

    no “this is heather’s world, lick it or get off” would have sounded dirty. ;)

    i have insightful crap… but the way i see it, if all being insightful gets you is being pushed through someones bowels then flushed down the toilet, why bother? all that trouble just to see someone’s ring? sheesh.

    heather, don’t feel bad, i’m not sure i’ve ever written a sentence that doesn’t begin with i.
    cool redesign by the way, i thought i was at the wrong site when i clicked through today. heh.

    What about,
    “this is heather’s world, lick it and get off”?
    sounds dirtier.

  14. heather on August 23, 2001 at 11:41 said:

    uhm… i already suggested that, dor. look up. =)

  15. sc0tt on August 23, 2001 at 13:25 said:

    not to pick through semantics.. but he said lick it *and* get off, you said lick it *or* get off…

  16. heather on August 23, 2001 at 13:36 said:

    ooh… thanks.
    sorry, dor. *sheepish grin*

    Still trying to get disturbing images out of my head, as I thought that said “this is Heather’s wound, lick it and get off.”
    Blech blech blech!
