Is it worse to not post or to post about "nothing"?

[thistlechaser]

I remember when I had to make an effort to NOT post more than once or twice a day. I'm not sure if my life is less interesting now or what, but now I have to make an effort to not let weeks go by between my posts. On one hand, that's sad. On the other, I feel like posting about "nothing" would be boring to people. I do still read my friends list every day though.

I had pizza for the first time in more than three months. I had intended my first attempt at pizza to be from a good place, but I've just not gotten there yet (it's really out of the way). Work had free pizza, so I took a slice (and ate less than a quarter of it). While it was low quality stuff, I still enjoyed it (and it didn't make me sick or anything, yay).

In ten days I'll be three months post-surgery. The next big milestone food-wise is six months out (at which time I can try eating beef and corn and probably some other things I've forgotten).

I'm not anywhere near as depressed as I was the first month or two. I guess this whole new life has become the new normal for me. It's still depressing when I think about it, but I guess I don't think about it as much. I never knew how much enjoyment comes from food. Oh well.

In non-food news, I'm spending most of my time RPing, which is great. It's my favorite way to spend time. I have a great new RP partner who is a really good fit. He's about my age, which is becoming less and less common online, and our tastes in RP fit really, really well (which is also pretty uncommon). Our hours aren't a perfect match (he's disabled, he doesn't work, thus stays up all night and sleeps all day, while I have to sleep early because I work early), but he's usually awake by the time I come home from work, so that's good enough. It just kills me to have to log off "early" when there are so many more hours we could write together.

Hopefully it won't be another two weeks before I post again...

News that you're not as depressed and unhappy three months out now as you were in the first weeks is NOT nothing.

Just soze you noze ....

Love, C.

Heh, that's a good point. :) Thanks!

[resonant.livejournal.com]

very good point!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Agreed!

I tend to post something every day. That is just me though.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

It's a good habit to be in, yep.

Sometimes I can't write anything. Sometimes I can ramble on and in about nothing at all for post after post, without any apparent effort. I don't think there's a 'right' way to go about it. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.

I think I used to find more random stuff to post, in addition to writing. Funny pictures or links or whatever. Now my bar is higher (or I'm still somewhat depressed), and I tend to think 'meh' a lot to stuff I might have previously posted.

It is worse to not post than to post about "nothing", I think ;)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. :)

Naw, it's never about "nothing" - check in now and then, it's nice to hear from friends. :)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I'll try to be better about posting! :)

[ani-mama.livejournal.com]

It is nice to hear from you though! Life is not always exciting, but it is still good to hear from friends.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad it is. I'll try to get back to regular posting. :)

This is your journal, and you're going through a lot these days.
If you want to keep a record, then do so, even if you think it is boring.
And, if you don't want to, then don't.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Wise words. Thanks. :)

I used to post every few days. Nowadays I can't really find much time to post, but I do try to keep up with reading my friends's list.

Take care. ♥

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yes! I do keep reading my friends list, I never miss a day of that. :)

I think as we grow, our definition of what's noteworthy becomes more refined and sparse. I've tried posting about Nothing, but turns out there were several nothings to report. Turns out Nothing is never nothing ;)
Plus, you're awesome, and we like to hear from you.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks. Hopefully once I start writing a post, Nothing will come to mind. :P
