I just realized that over the past few months, I've accumulated quite a new friends - some from Narnia, some from isurrendered, some just picked up in various places.

Things Those Of You Who Are Fairly New Should Know:
1. I vary wildly between being very honest about my depression (possibly bipolar disorder) or only talking about good things. Pretending it doesn't exist is my gut instinct. I'm trying to be more honest about it, if only because it forces me to be honest about it with myself. So warnings for occasional discussion of mental issues.
2. I also occasionally discuss my familial issues.
3. Things I will almost never discuss on this journal: religion or politics. If I do, they will be cut. I'm not bothered by other people writing about them, it's just a personal decision on my part.
4. I'm a feminist.
5. You start drama, bad things happen.
6. LOVE YOU GUYS. <333

OH HEY that essay is due tomorrow SHIT. Tune in tomorrow to find out if Betsy can BS two-three pages of imagery discussion on Larissa Szporluk's Menace of the Skies, partially picked because I delight in baffling my professor with my actual interest in poetry. (He said in class "Attach a copy of the poem to your essay if you think I haven't read it before. I'll probably recognize any poems you do." Me: "HAHA" *searches through collection of bookmarks*)

I really want to post about religion and politics in my journal, but I end up backing out because I don't want heated arguments. Discussions turn into arguments which creates bad feelings for all. I learned my lesson the hard way when I posted about Obama's speedy reaction to the Haiti disaster. It showed ides of people that I didn't think they were capable of having. It really disappointed me.

yeah, that's my reasoning. it turns everything into drama WAY too easily. religion can cause less problems, but that's mostly because I friends-lock and cut it and warn and so people don't have to read if they don't want to. I pretty much trust my f-list to be reasonable, so for me it's more a 'avoid drama at all costs' mixed with 'LJ is for fandom and friendships!'. :P

my mom has to routinely disillusion me about the fact that yes, there are in fact really dumb people out there.

Wow, that poem is gorgeous. I'd never heard of it before, thank you for sharing!

I spent the past half an hour creating my Script Frenzy profile to give writing the Diogenes Boys a shot. I fear it will eat my life.

We should get a post up at isurrendered so that everyone who's doing it can post their username so we can all become writing buddies :o)
