A conversation with a friend included the issue of my carrying around a lot of repressed anger. It’s true unfortunately… but thankfully, I am not an island, I’m just like everyone else.

In honour of this auspicious declaration, I give you a clip from one of my favourite shows, which includes some great dialogue referring to repressed anger.

A conversation with one of my fabulous readership:

If I like a site (or anything else), I take the time to point out what I think could be better. It’s a compliment. I’m glad you saw that- people can be defensive- think you’re hating when you do the suggestion bit.. I can’t help it. I went to school for art and we are taught to do just that.

How odd. Why would anyone be defensive about suggestions to improve something?

So here are some more compliments… )

w00t! I like complements!

A “home” link would be nice. I keep trying to click on “Lisa 4.0″ to go to your main url. (doh!)

It does that already… but as I noted earlier, I’m using a “real” browser, Firefox, not some interloper pretending to be something useful (IE). ;)

You name your posts by number, which is cool, but hard for a reader. I’m linked to an RSS feed now that tells me the numbers of the most recent posts, but not any hint as to what I might find in said post. It’s hard to navigate to a particular recent post one remembers- or tell what one has or hasn’t yet read when they are only sorted by number (and tags, but that’s by subject, not chronological). Maybe… A link on the right of most recent posts (with summary)? Naming posts? A calender?

Yes, I was being deliberately obtuse when I decided just to number the posts. I find it difficult to think of a title for things sometimes, so numbering seemed the easiest way around this. And every other blog on the planet has titles for posts and I wanted to be different. Course, different is not always better. I shall work on this…

Do you really look like the illustration at the top right?

Slightly. I wear those sorts of clothes, have that length of hair (well, slightly shorter but not far away from it).. but am not green.

It wouldn’t be so odd to subscribe to your own blog. Pretend to be a reader and see how it works… (at least that’s what I tell myself as I am linked to my own feed!)

Thought it might be that fine line that’s being crossed between enlightened self awareness and terminal egotism.

But I could be convinced either way!

12 hours sleep does the world of good. At least, it does when you’re as exhausted as I was last night.

Not sure exactly where the exhaustion is coming from; I’m sleeping at night, but have been awfully stressed (and busy to be honest) over the last 4 weeks.

Yesterday’s 6am Bikram, followed by a Chiro session might have released stuff I wasn’t aware of. Net effect: I was totally exhausted when I got home last night.

I’ve been exhausted for a while though… it’s awfully strange.

One of the funny things about this exhaustion is that I had weird dreams last night. A young George Lazenby featured in one of them…. wasn’t expecting that! But the interesting thing is that when I was conversing, and interacting, I felt safe.

Odd.

I’ve been told in the past that personifications of male and female, of children are actually mirrors of ones-self and I often feel the same after I’ve interacted with children in my dreams. So if the aforementioned mirror-effect is true, these would be the “inner child“. This one was the inner “male”… potentially the father figure or even just that side of my personality which is concerned with male energies.

Or it could just be that I dreamed of George Lazenby the younger and I should leave it there rather than intellectualising.
