Okay, I just about lost it with:

> nonstop unicorns vomiting sunshine pills into a rainbow toilet.

That’s some beautiful imagery, man.

I just love the word “schadenfreude”. There’s just no word in English that comes close to it’s meaning.

And btw, Macaddict is a useless git.

the internet is full of knee-jerk pop-psyche dimestore-backseat-shrinks who do nothing but whine and complain if you aren’t writing nonstop unicorns vomiting sunshine pills into a rainbow toilet.

the best part about interactive blogging is the people.

I think a lot of people probably seem bipolar in their journals because they only blog the extreme moody stuff, either up or down. I don’t think you fall into that category though. Some of your posts are just “here’s what I did today” or “here’s where I got stuck in traffic again today” kind of things. That’s what I’m here for.

there are a lot of jerk heads in cyberspace, just like in RL. Cept here it’s easier for them to be jerk heads. More “accessable” i suppose you could say..

DOWN WITH THE JERK HEADS!@

I’ve got to add a “yeah, what they said!” here. People with journals are going to write about what’s most on their mind. And that’s not always happy happy joy joy thoughts. Plus I’ve been reading ‘sted writings in various places for a *long* time (at least 6 years)…she posts about happy things at least as often as she posts about sad things.

Finally, there is an easy explanation for the mood swings…she’s a woman :-) (suddenly I hear the voice of one of my elementary school teachers yelling “duck and cover!” for a bomb drill)

Blogs aren’t an accurate snapshot of a person’s identity; they’re a window into whatever that person wants to let out. If someone has emotions they want to express, they get magnified on blogs, because you only see a fairly small slice of what’s really going on with that person. When all you see is someone expressing the louder emotions, you miss all of the quieter, more normal ones that the blogger doesn’t feel are noteworthy, because they’re
just day-to-day things.

I’d just like to add to Mr. Random Fuckwad: What the hell is your deal? I can’t even fathom the kind of mind that actually thinks that being critical of someone’s expression of their feelings is somehow useful. Although I suspect that R. Fuckwad here is really someone who’s got some grudge against Ms. Bernard and just wanted an anonymous way to be a total dick. Mission accomplished. Now bugger off.
