Well, actually my usual response is just not to blog at all, whether positive or negative. I have so many ideas and posts ... but yeah, no time. Although I'm not really doing anything. Uh, playing with the dog? I've only blogged 14 times in 2010. OOops. I guess another issue is that some things I may want to be "real" about are, as you say "unbloggable family shite." Sooo yeah. <br /><br />oops. longest comment ever! It's kind of silly when people apologize for leaving long comments because -- hello! who doesn't like comments!? But I'm thinking this comment is just going to look ridiculous.

I want to get the whole picture, not just the sunny rainbow picture.<br /><br />Meg: Everyone's different :)<br /><br />Carly: Thanks, lady. It helps to know that everyone goes through the dark days.<br /><br />Raven: I think you and I are very similar in certain ways, friend.<br /><br />Sizzle: I don't think you write about the tough stuff too often! I feel like you've found the perfect balance.<br /><br />Stevie: Thanks, lady :) I'm a big fan of avoidance.<br /><br />Jane: Thank you :) I sometimes forget that this little corner of the internet is mine and I can do whatever I want with it. <br /><br />Amy: I love reading a blog and feeling like the writer is honest and genuine. I have no idea why I feel that way and then hesitate to be honest and genuine in my own writing.<br /><br />Sentiment: I miss England and you and your sofa (and your silly cats who pee on me when I sleep on your sofa!) I will see you again soon, love. I mean it.<br /><br />Emily-Jane: Thanks, lady :) I know that you understand.<br /><br />Angella: Thank you :) I think I might fire off some lightning bolts!<br /><br />Jessica Maria: Thank you!

Less padding. <br /><br />Tyler: Anything is better than stewing in it :) <br /><br />Diana: Thanks, I may just have to try to dance it out. Maybe not at work, though :) <br /><br />Shelikespurple: Dude. "And if you write for you, the right people will always read" is one of the smartest things anyone has said to me about blogging. Thank you.<br /><br />Lemon Gloria: I am definitely one of those people. High highs and low lows.

I think the big bads are inevitable for people with the huge goods - and I think you're one of those people. It'll pass, but I know it sucks to be in.

Is there a reason? I ask because I assume it may be harder to punch people in the ear if they are taller than you. Are you insanely tall? Is the ear like the thing you see the most? Did you once get punched in the ear?<br /><br />Sorry, I know I should be empathizing more but this ear thing fascinates me so much.<br /><br />Sorry you had a crappy day. I am hoping it gets better.
