After several virtual pep-talks and one in-person one, I'm feeling a good bit better. Although I've had to change my settings so only registered users can post comments, which is too bad; I had wanted to allow friends 'n' family who aren't on lj to post the occasional thought, but some stranger from New Jersey seems to feel the need to express himself/herself via anonymous postings, and they're just plain annoying.

I know I'm broadcasting my thoughts for anyone to see, but there's something about random ramblings, comments without context, notes from nobody . . . they just seem invasive. I don't care if complete strangers read this, but complete strangers poking fun, offering advice, being silly . . . I just don't want to have to deal with it. Unless someone wants to tell me the meaning of life, or offer me a job, or seriously crack my shit up with the funniest thing EVAR, I don't need to hear from them.

In other news, I heard from the intriguing woman that I was down about yesterday, though she remains unclear and odd. I'm supposed to feel free to contact her, but she's "not sure what she's looking for."

Umm . . . okay.
