Meep Meep and Disclaimer
Jun. 19th, 2003 03:16 pmI'm going to the nursery with the SO. Cue happy music! I should remember sunscreen. It's not very sunny, but even so...
I've turned this funny orange colour now that the burn is subsiding. I liked the mild burn ruddy wind-touched look, but this orange is really weird. And really orange.
Been doing 'relationship work' with both the SO and the Exotic. Lots of work, we're looking at maybe three to five hours a day, so I'm not getting triumphant feelings out of it because I'm too beat down. I -am- getting a lot of sleep, though, and I think we're getting somewhere. The Exotic and I are building communication skills and reassurance that we can use those skills without being taken advantage of between us, and the SO and I are ironing out our reconnecting bits.
I miss the flaming fights that had satisfying resolutions. This is mostly ...hey! This is mostly me helping other people along, I guess, and so since I'm not missing anything I don't get anything out of it when it's resolved except maybe a hope it doesn't come up again and a hope for the other person's happinesss now -- neither of which are immediately apparent and so neither of which trigger done/comfortable feelings. Aha.
I don't miss the fights enough to come up with something really deathly important to me and bludgeon people with it, though. Admittedly, I think I do need to work up a nice disclaimer for the livejournal. Something along the lines of:
Read anything in here at your own risk. I'm not responsible for your reaction to the contents, and if you choose to interpret my stuff soley on the contents of this livejournal you deserve whatever you get and I will laugh at you as you writhe in madness and pain! Muahahaha!
or something like that. Some people do seem to be reading it as a personal communication to them, which it in no way is. If something has to do with you in any meaningful sense I -will- tell you first, kay? Believe it. Ask for clarification before takiing anything in here as gospel of any sort. I'm not even -trying- to put a Greenstorm-to-Human translator in this stuff.
That'll do as a disclaimer for now, I guess.
