why are oranges green?

[dreamtrance]

you know, sometimes I wonder why any of us even bother to talk about our lives or state our opinions. What makes us think that other people would really care what we have to say?

I'm not saying people should or shouldn't care I'm just asking a question of no one wondering why as people we bother? because honestly why?

*shrugs*

just something that popped in my head.

on the same note maybe I should just shut up

*wanders off*

no need to shut up. i'm totally with you on that. almost deleted my LJ this morning because I figure...fuck, why have it cuz I have my own journal i write in, no one ever reads my journal, no one really gives two shits about it, so why bother sharing? I don't share this stuff with people face to face, so why bother saying anything to anyone...ever.

but then again...that's me today.

Actually, I consider it all the time, and I get the feeling that other people do, too. One of the reasons, though, that I tell about my life and my thoughts in LJ is because I'm in LJ for the community, for the opportunity to hear about other people's lives across the country and hear their thoughts. Some of the most intelligent and interesting people I get to converse with, sometimes, are the people I friend on LJ. So I try and give them that experience, too, or at least just a laugh at the hijinks that I engage in on a daily basis.

:] Hugs to you, by the way. I hope you're feeling good.

I like the people. I like reading that your day was good or bad or whatever. My work life is kinda dull, and hearing that other people are the same way is kinda neat!

um... yeah.

I'm so shallow. Go me!

I think I share because it's part of me...part of who I am. And I want folks to know me. Granted I filter the real me...I don't always get real personal on the Net...but everything I post or reply is a part of me I'm sharing.

And it's the same with why I read other people's opinions. I want to know them.

Ha! How ironic is it that I deleted my original comment before I posted because I didn't feel the need to state it? Ha!

Why are monkies purple?

Well. I, for one, am one of those weirdos who really has nothing better to do than read about other people's lives while mourning the lack of an own life. I've even used the "random" function more than once. I also like to babble about my day, whether people read/listen to it or not. Helps me sort out my thoughts and stuff. Also, we may be self-centered bastards but most still realize the basic need to have relations to others. So, I read your journal and you read mine etc. Doesn't always work that way, shouldn't even but. Yeah.

And you know what, I do actually care what others have to say occasionally.

Cool sites and stuff. Dang I luuurve your mood icons. And that la-di-da icon. Chris is good.

Peace and love,
