Malign is ...


Back? :-)

I had wanted to say "I am divorced", which is both true and worth celebrating, but I realized that to say it that way is similar to the problem that kept me in the marriage. I keep identifying with only a part of me, as if the rest of me vanishes when I focus on a part. But the fact is, throughout, I am Me, and no one else can be. I can have all kinds of facets, positive and negative, but none of those exists without the whole.

Maybe that doesn't make sense; I admit that I lost the first version and this is a much shorter re-write. But that's okay, really: this tiny bit of writing can't explain me. I'll just have to go on being Me, and hope that people understand that.

I'm not cute enough to be good at teasing, Z. :-)

But the best I can promise is "trying".

There's an extra energy hump for me to get over before posting, which is basically because I feel a little lost about who I am, here. I know how odd that sounds.

Aw. :-)

I've always wondered why anybody cared how much energy Gibbs was giving away ...

I have to go do my laundry now (yes, I actually still have to go to a laundromat for that: the dryer still doesn't dry.) But I will try to be on once a day or so, in the evenings ...

Thank you, you and LaLa, and Lana whom I haven't met yet, for helping to take care of things around here.

Wow!!! :-D

Congrats to your divorce!!! (I might sound strange, but... I think it's appropriate...)

So happy to see you here again!! :-)

When I saw the pictures Pseudome posted (before reading the texts), I supposed that he was trying to illustrate that he's excited by your return to this site!! ;-P (I am, btw...)

Not as original idea as Pseudome's, but... some more photons [well: a source of...] for you:
