I CAN think of things to write about, but I don&#8217;t seem to be motivated enough to do the actual writing about them. I was going to gather my thoughts and write something about the discussion our stand-in guest speaker at the AWC meeting the other night sparked after her presentation on Social Media (or How Not to Waste Your Life &#038; Ruin Your Reputation on Facebook), which was equally fascinating and aggravating. <\/p>\n<p>I find I bite my tongue a lot in certain settings and with certain subjects. Some people are so hard-line in their opinions that it seems a waste of time to bother tendering my own, plus much of the time I know what I think about these certain subjects, having come to my own conclusions after copious thought and input and even with an open mind, I&#8217;m not necessarily interested in entering into a debate.<\/p>\n<p>I can think of other things to write about but they are not the sort of topics I choose to discuss in a public forum. <\/p>\n<p>I could write about work, but I won&#8217;t. I could write about what I think about what you or he or she said\/did the other day, but I won&#8217;t. I could write about all the umpteen-million things I think about writing about at some point during the day or evening or night, but don&#8217;t because I have forgotten them again before I get around to it.<\/p>\n<p>Did you ever have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quantumenterprises.co.uk\/roundtuit\/detail.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a round toit?<\/a> My dad had wooden ones with the word TOIT stamped on it in big black letters when I was a kid. Imagine my eye-rolling reaction upon being handed one.<\/p>\n<p>I could post pictures instead of perpetrating this excruciating inanity upon you, my poor put-upon audience, but even though I actually horked up the motivation to go take some photos of my children in various slack-jawed poses in front of the TV and the fish tank (I couldn&#8217;t think of anything else), they all came out too blurry to bother with. You&#8217;re welcome.<\/p>\n<p>I could write something with a beginning, a middle and an end, but it certainly isn&#8217;t happening now, eh? I could write a poem! Nah. I&#8217;m not in the mood. I haven&#8217;t been IN THE MOOD all week. Well, actually, that&#8217;s not exactly accurate, I have been in A mood, just not THE mood that I would have liked to be in. The mood I WAS in was no fun. No fun for anyone, and most un-fun for me. I will not be doing THAT again anytime soon. Anytime soon being approximately 4 weeks from now. I would much rather have continued with the mood I was in last weekend, but sadly, that mood is a thing of the past. Not so sadly, it&#8217;s probably a thing of the future, too, judging by the increasingly manic tones of this post. HEE!<\/p>\n<p>Why isn&#8217;t <i>manic<\/i> an LJ mood choice?<\/p>\n<p><b>Really Great Writing Out There Right Now<\/b>: <a href=\"http:\/\/womaninawindow.blogspot.com\/2009\/02\/thailand-alley.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Thailand Alley<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little stories, little loves.
