Commentary

[fatrockstar]

Do you prefer to be a commentER or a commentEE? Me, I'm not very good at commenting even though I read damn near everything that hits my f-page. I figure that goes for everyone, so I'm not too worried about receiving comments. If I truly don't want to deal with comments I disable them.

I admit it, I'm a comment whore, and like the rest, I read, but don't comment a lot. I learned, too, that when you don't give, you don't generally get, either. Go figure!

Hahaha I can see that. I found out a long time ago (when I was blogging on wynnec.com) that people are reading and soaking in what I have to say whether they comment or not. How, you ask? It certainly wasn't by email back then -- I got phone calls! In the days before comments were available to me, my friends and family would read and then CALL my ass. *awkward!*

I was a lot more outspoken then.

Hmmm.... what changed?

Also, you know, I'm bored today, reading old entries from January 2003 and that means you've been on my friends list for OVER four years. Crazy.

I think I wrote some humor about my then-18yo sister that caused uproar in their little town of Podunk, Alabama. While the response from non-family was positive, my mother was not amused. Then there was the essay I wrote on the history of my paternal grandparents, based on letters only I had ever read, that made my father's brothers start hollerin' (apparently the legend of Fred & JoBeth CANNOT be altered).

These days most of my best work (drama) is based on people who are more online now than ever before, and consists of mainly family members. While I love my family, they make me laugh at (and with) them, and I can't not share that amusement.
