you know, i owe a lot of different people email right now. i haven’t replied to any in at least a week. on the other hand, i’ve posted a lot this week. it’s a pattern. when i post a lot, i don’t email. when i’m emailing people, my posting dwindles significantly. i can’t seem to keep a balance between the two. mostly it’s because i’m emailing what i’d post and posting what i’d email and i really, really, really hate to repeat myself.
in most cases, if i’ve already posted my news i’ll say “go read my site” just to save the typing. it’s not even being lazy, i just can’t deal with repeating myself. it’s a combination of irritation at the need to say something more than once and a self-conciousness about the worth of my stories to tell over again. it’s one of the reasons i hate the first days back at work after a vacation, everyone individually asks me how it was and what i did and this and that and it drives me nuts.
yes, i know i should be thankful that people actually care and bother to inquire after my life. i’m allowed to be difficult. i’m a girl. *grin*
