Public Image Limited....just added to iGor. That's a most excellent video, too. I need to resume the creation of my database as I have been a total slacker in that regard, among others.

::sigh::

So I guess I'm back from my very brief respite from LJ. I was never upset with the person who called me an attention whore; rather, I was (and am) more upset with myself. I suppose anyone who has an online journal has attention issues up to a point, but I'd like to think that I am not pathological in my need for attention. I'd like to think that the main purpose of this journal is to document my days, my thoughts, and whatever else that may my spring to my attention. I know that there are folks out there who journal for the singular affirmation by others that they exist. Such people irritate me, more so than perhaps they should because maybe I see myself in such characters a bit more than I'd care to admit. It's something to think about. Until I figure it out or admit it to myself, I'll continue to debate that and other such things here on the Cliffs of Insanity, much to the misfortune of anyone who may encounter this journal.

Aunt Tudi and I went to Asheville today for our last visit to TS Morrisons. It's hard to believe that the oldest store in Asheville is closing, but this is more proof that nothing is lasting but change. Once Morrisons closes, I wonder what shop will inherit the title of "Oldest Store in Asheville." As John Lydon says, "don't ask me, I don't know."

You said to let you know about important posts. Well I think you might enjoy my last three because all three have been picture posts, and the first one includes Shmoop and Co's little sister in Bast, Vash.

And I don't think you are an attention whore. I think an LJ attention whore is the kind of person who posts nude pics, or makes up diseases, or basicly gets pissed off when they *aren't* getting attention. Journals, whether stuck in a drawer, or displayed in public, are by their natures about the self. There is *nothing* wrong with that. I didn't subscribe to your journal to hear from someone else. I want to hear what you think about things, or what's going on with you. I'd like to know what's up with Aunt Tudi, or the prides, or Dr. Patch's llama. It's fun, and it's nice, and I would miss it if you left. That's my two cents.

*hug*

I think if we didn't want anyone to see our journals, we could make all the entries private. Where's the fun in that? I think it helps me that others see what I write. Maybe it does help to affirm my existence. That is lame, I guess, but I like it when others say they have gone through similar things or have felt the same way... That validates me some, I guess.

I am comforted by the idea that others are out there, even if they don't comment, they know...

If anyone ever calls you an attention whore again, point them to my journal and then tell them to shut up.

I'm the original attention whore.

Desperate need to be liked and all.

*HUGS*

Glad youse back.

I'm lovin' me some PiL. Have you heard any of John Lydon's solo stuff? The song Dog from Psycho's Path has always been a favorite of mine.

As for being an attention whore; I know some people tend to post provacative things to generate attention (not talking about you [livejournal.com profile] teague or anyone else on my FL--me like-y to read all my friend's posties>, I'm speaking of the ones who have to keep on-going battles or taking mean jabs at the expense of others.

It's nice to peek into the lives of others; I think it's a way of seeing that we're not alone and there are others who think and feel the same way we do. Sometimes it's nice just to vent frustrations too. I have a tendency to post self-deprecating things sometimes, but I never see myself as pleading for attention; it's more of a way of taking all the hurt and rage and placing it somewhere other than inside my head. Also, it's nice to see the creative side of people too. I've never read one post by you that would lead me to believe you are anything but a very cool and interesting person (with great taste in music). I enjoy reading your journal and hope you don't go on hiatus again! :-)

I don't understand where anyone gets off calling you an attention whore. You write about your thoughts and your life, just like everyone else does.

you should go and pummel the person that called you an attention whore, they're obviously a twit.

But a loveable twit and extremely insightful.

I wouldn't call you an attention whore at all, on the contrary I really enjoy reading your entries, they really brighten my day. I only really get comments from one person every now and then, but I don't post for the comments, it's a venting system, and also something to look back on :-) Keep posting and stay happy I say

I'm glad you're back - I'm just getting to know you and it made me sad when you left.

Just reminds me of one of my favorite songs by the Dead Milkmen, "Instant Club Hit"...

I think pretty much any performer is an attention whore. Where would we be without them(us)? It's about whether one sublimates it into ideas, communication, and/or entertainment, or whether it stays all about them (good examples given above). You are an LJ performer, and you're definitely in the first category. Enjoy. We do.
