So apparently I'm a sage now

Because a proxy is a credible source.

It's rather irritating, actually. I was dealing with my problems one lousy step at a time until I started getting notifications about how Fracture started commenting all over my blog. I don't even know how that happened. I think Elizabeth might have set it up. And then he made that post. And now I am going to have people debating about whether or not I'm Sage material for who knows how long.

I'm not, by the way. In case anybody was suffering from any delusions.

And here I am back writing. Which is irritating, because I've discovered that it is very difficult to have a blog and not descend into diary mode. And I am really not interested in that. Though I imagine you all are.

You know, I've heard some people talk of writing as a compulsion. As some sort of side effect of His hold on you. But I don't believe that is it. People are social creatures. It is what they do. And when something terrifying and unique happens, they seek out ways to find that they are not alone. And that is what the blogs do. The Compulsion is nothing mystical. The Compulsion is other people.

And it seems that even I am not immune to it.

  1. I agree; I was running before Internet and I never had the time or compulsion to document it. I just banded together with other runners if possible, now we have the Internet for that and it's just human nature. Though by the time the Net came around I was really more of a one man show.

  2. Best of luck with the sage thing. Sucks to get stuff like that thrust onto you.

    1. Oh I agree. When it comes to thrusting, this is probably one of the least pleasant incidents.

    2. ...Possibly wasn't the best choice of words there

    3. Well, sometimes phrases are interpreted dirtily, that's life. Do you expect him to bend over backwards to please you?

    4. I was gonna respond with another innuendo, but it's too hard.

    5. In that case, flip a coin and we'll see about your chances of getting head.

    6. But what if I prefer chasing tail?

    7. If you want to stop sexual innuendo, quit shoving it down my throat.

    8. You're so much better at coming up with this stuff than me; you've got me licked.

  3. Well, that's to say nothing of people trying to document themselves to help others for fear of death. What's that term?

    'Something to Leave Behind'?

    Metal trauma and stress also presses us to write as a way to try to cope with and decipher all we've seen.

    There are many factors at play there, probably. Most of them probably human.
