Say What You Need To Say

Rate: 11 Flag

Having a little trouble writing these days.  Vacations with my family are great, but I can't seem to sit behind a computer or write for more than thirty seconds before someone walks in and stares at the screen and asks "What'cha doin'?"  - Jesus!  My sister just walked in AGAIN!  I rest my case!  Now she's reading every word and she's punching me and calling me a bitch and slamming the door.  At least I'm laughing right?

It can be a little daunting -- oh now she's yelling that I might want to mention that it is HER bedroom I'm using -- and it is.  We're roomies for the summer and she has the only internet connection in the house.  Ironic that my father works in wireless communications but does not have it at his own home.  Suppose I'll get smacked upside the head for that comment as well...

Anyway, as I was saying, it can be a little daunting to write when suddenly all of your friends and family discover your blog and actually start reading it.  They've know about it since I started, but they're just now getting interested.  I'm starting to understand why so many of you use fake names...

I can't quite decide whether to laugh or cry - I think I'm leaning toward laughter! Good luck!!!!
Oh my! You might need a vacation from your vacation.
Oh, I use my blog as a threat when someone says or does something bad to me: "I've got a blog and I'm not afraid to use it!"
Kit: you may as well laugh - I am... sort of...

aim: you've got that right!

Cranky: good idea... evil, but good... he he he...
without my family's insanity, i could not write.
The cobbler's children go shoeless... updated to the internet age.
Family. Can't live with 'em. Can't bury 'em in the backyard.
Oh have I been where you are headed! One bit of advice: Wear a helmet! :))
I wonder where you and the kids are visiting now. Wherever, whatever, whenever--blogging and computer-hugging are ideal for leaving behind, along with your cares and concerns.

As William Saroyan almost said--and he had you, Pavanne, in mind: In the time of your vacation, live!
Yes indeed, fake names. It was my sister who encouraged me to begin my blog. I kept it from my mother (didn't want her to worry) until one night, under the influence of a couple of glasses of wine, I had to show off a little.

Now I feel constrained to write about my crushing debt any more. Or ANYTHING about custody arrangements.
this is sad and funny - daunting. about time you changed your name eh?
Pavanne,
I'm glad you're going ahead and writing anyway.
