Comments on: Reaction Shot http://www.oleoptene.com/2008/10/25/reaction-shot/ A blog for Mara Collins Sun, 20 Nov 2011 04:12:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Patrick http://www.oleoptene.com/2008/10/25/reaction-shot/comment-page-1/#comment-3280 Patrick Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:41:43 +0000 http://www.oleoptene.com/?p=243#comment-3280 comments are nice, a bit like christmas presents, a little odd at times, others that fit perfectly, and all unexpected and greatly appreciated. Also, the ones I like best at those from complete strangers, again, unexpected and delightful. My own "comment insanity" was put to bed when I realized that the blog had given me an amazing way to reach out to people that I desperately wanted to stay in contact with, but couldn't find the time, the up side is that I can connect en masse, the down side is that any damn fool can leave his or her two bits... comments are nice, a bit like christmas presents, a little odd at times, others that fit perfectly, and all unexpected and greatly appreciated.

I can't relate to any of this! ha ha ha!!! You are SO not alone. Yes, blogging can be so life affirming and connecting, that is when it's not completely alienating and depressing. Thank God we have each other, though, to help us see ourselves for who we really are - both the ugly stuff we wish with all our might wasn't there and the beautiful stuff we completely miss because we're off being too hard on ourselves. God, you’re such a weirdo. I can’t relate to any of this!
