Vlog for 11/27/11




Here's a little update about my life as of... ummm...

I mean to post in this blog more. I have not forgotten you! I'm really struggling with my relationship to Facebook right now, and I think I need to rely on it a little less for connections to people. I'm just going to start referring people here from there & doing most of my posting here for a while and see how I feel about that.

Hey, Diane, what is happening with Facebook, for you? For me, it used to be fun but now I am finding that i feel more isolated after visiting.

I watched your video yesterday. It's always nice to see you and hear you talk, even though i know you don't like your voice. (I hate my speaking voice, too, if i haven't already said so. I know it's different for you but i seriously hate hearing mine. I feel like it's more me when i sing, even if i am singing as if i were someone else.)

Hiya, Mir!

My problem with fb is that it's too absorbing and doesn't give back enough. I am finding that I'm there for hours sometimes and I feel like I've just burned through a bunch of a day when I finally walk away from it. I have so many friends who I am only in touch with there, and it is great in that way, but I need to figure out a better way to have those relationships. Or be a better judge of how to maintain them through facebook without robbing myself of other things that get neglected because of the time I spend facebooking.

Thank you for the comments on my voice! I am actually feeling a little better about how I'm sounding now. I find that I have really high expectations for myself and it leads to trouble. I think this last bout of depression was me beating up on me for the various ways my life isn't like the perfect picture in my head. I'm trying to take it a little bit easier on me...

I won't protest you talking about your speaking voice. I have been through too much with my own to try to invalidate your feelings about that. I do hope you can make some peace with it, though.

I am so glad you wrote, Mir! <3
