eleven august ninety eight noon i can be tedious if i want Today Aussie is talking about people who drone on and on and whose brains are basically feeding direct to their mouths without any intervening filters. It's not just hypersensitivity that makes me wonder if she's talking about me - we just had a minor squabble about Al Capp (she's right; I'm wrong). She says of some conversations: But then one finds oneself in those endless quagmires of either rehashing what's already been said or talking about stuff that is simply dull. I worry sometimes that these postcards are like that. I do tend to return to the same orbits over and over. But then I remember that they're my pages and I can be tedious if I want. Not that I'd want to make a habit of it. It's true that sometimes I spew out what's on my brain and don't bother to give it a reality check. Some of the Al Capp piece was like that, hence the disagreement. On the other hand, it could be worse. I have a friend who's notorious for having so many layers of mental filtering that sometimes it's hard to tell he's speaking English - his sentences come out all convoluted and alien. I understand him pretty well, but I've known him a long time and can get into his head a little. Sometimes people ask me to translate. I may spew words at random, but I'm generally pretty articulate about it. Even in these postcards which, unlike everything else on my websites, are largely unedited. © columbine |
