tetsab(Drinking Gimlet #2). I tend to do that pretty darn human thing of announcing intent in the hopes it will inspire me to action purely from an Accountability perspective (but it never does and... worse! I know it never does! I actually know what I'm going to do and no number of need psychological tricks are going to change that). In this case what I annouced was that I wasn't just going to spend tonight writing posts I'd wanted to write but that I'd also use it to write comments I'd wanted to write but now the time is here I find I'm balking for No Good Reason At All.
I'm balking 'cause that irritating little voice in my head is telling me that it's Not Nice to go write comments on other people's journals long after the fact (using myself as a measure this is a raftload of crap: I'm perfectly happy to get a new comment no matter how old the post), or as part of an Event (there might be more to this one: if I felt like the point of the comment was to Write Something For The Event... though in this case it actually wouldn't: I have the posts I'd want to comment on already in mind where they've been here for varying lengths of time [some on the scale of months]), or drunkenly (some of these posts I'd want to comment on shouldn't really be taken lightly and so to do so purposefully while moving away from 'mindful' also seems pretty darn wrong). So, yes, writing comments tonight is right out: gonna have to stick to the posts.
(Relevant aside: this is one of the worst things for me connecting with others... this tendency to assume offence in the other party based on my action [so the poor solution is to not act] when there's probably no offense at all and if there was it means we're just not likely to connect well ever so no harm for us to both learn that).
And, ha, I knew I'd said at some point that there was a bunch of stuff I'd wanted to write about but kept pushiing off. When was that? A. Last NaDruWriNi of course! (And check out the theme synergy: lols). So, yes, this means next up will be Happiness and the DSM-V, because, nope, I'd never forgot that I'd owed that (I'd only forgotten that I'd owed it for more than a year!).
