qilorahas it always been the case that people who were writers/story-tellers were such fucking pathological liars?
why the hell don't they just go live a life worth telling?
and it makes me wonder when i share my own "stories" here, if anyone reading me just assumes i am just as much a liar as the rest of Them.
in which case i'll suggest 3 things:
1. my in-house life is very much identified as such: if it happens "in here" i tell you so and don't try to hide it in my blogging as "no really, this happened in 3d, honest injun"
2. if you have a hard time believing my life is for real, considering how un-believable it reads, trust me, i feel the same damn way.... but if i put it here as "3d", its being reported as "true", to the best of my abilities.
3. as for you "friends" who want to tell me your fantastic tales, and use the excuse of "oh, but i am a writer, so i can't help but make-believe", know that your stories have been told a million times before... and everything you say to me has as much weight as one of the books i read to the children last night..... that being "entertaining" and maybe at times happy-making, but not something i would ever use as a gauge when planning things to do with you, or "for" you....
tell stories. that's fine.... don't expect me to believe them as anything but "stories"..
so glad we talked.
- me.
