I have entries all but written in my brain, I just need to barf them onto the page.” Post http://www.spasticmonkeys.com/2010/04/16/the-obligatory-its-been-a-long-time-since-i-posted-last-i-promise-to-write-more-i-have-entries-all-but-written-in-my-brain-i-just-need-to-barf-them-onto-the-page-post/ Taming the chaos in my brain one post at a time Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:50:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jennifer http://www.spasticmonkeys.com/2010/04/16/the-obligatory-its-been-a-long-time-since-i-posted-last-i-promise-to-write-more-i-have-entries-all-but-written-in-my-brain-i-just-need-to-barf-them-onto-the-page-post/comment-page-1/#comment-4564 Jennifer Sun, 18 Apr 2010 05:48:29 +0000 http://www.spasticmonkeys.com/?p=655#comment-4564 It's me, the stranger from high school who now wields powerful comments! :) In the first two years of high school, I was painfully shy, socially-retarded, and desperately tried to not stand out, so I honestly wouldn't expect you to remember me, unless you were a 'background' person, too, and you weren't. I recall you being as what I categorized as "smart, funny, artsy, brainy". The latter two years of school... well, let's just say whiskey and speed have a tremendous effect on all sorts of things, including memory, which you touched on in your post. I remember snippets from those years, but it's all unorganized, and may not be from those years. But I digress... I just wanted to say that this post is exactly why you should keep writing. The subject matter is simple, you're explaining why you've not been writing. But it's the way you go about doing just that... the words you use and the style you write in (your 'voice')... it's just really good. It's Roger from high school again... smart, funny, brainy, artsy. I like it. I'm glad you do this. Oh, and my new favorite word is 'fetching'... love it! And I'm taking it with me. It’s me, the stranger from high school who now wields powerful comments! :)
