Don't Ask Me

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."

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 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! :-)
