Breaking the silence

[greyias]

Right now I have a deep-seated jealousy for the rest of my f-list, and everyone who is able to express themselves without this horrible fear plaguing them that makes them private their entries at the last minute. So, instead of actually making a statement and taking responsibility for my words and actions, I'll show a video that sums up my feelings, and explains why I've disappeared for the past few weeks:

There. Doesn't everyone feel enlightened? I certainly feel like I got something off my chest. Mental note: Sarcasm still isn't translating well into text. Must check with lab monkeys.

In other words... hi guys. I was gone, now I'm back. I might say something of substance later, because it feels like it needs to be said. I honestly can't elaborate more, because each time I do, I get on a soapbox. And as fun as it is to climb up on one, I always seem to come down smelling like an ivory bar with the lingering stench of self-righteousness.

So, I'll save that particular aroma for another day where my show isn't officially going into reruns, because right now? I want to squee. I don't know if I will, but it's what I feel like doing. Like procrastination, there's always another day to be a jerk.

Besides, I have the feeling anything I'd say, after a few days, would basically sound like the song in the video. *g*

So is that what everyone is talking about when they mention "the llama song" (or sometimes "Llama llama")? If so, I have indeed been enlightened. (If not, it's back to the drawing board for me.

You realize you have no way of knowing how many private entries the rest of us have, or how many entries the paranoid among us might possibly have super-special-friends-locked only for people who know their True Identities? Just sayin'.

I'll be honest... I just discovered the Llama Song today. But it probably is the one they keep referring you to. I could also show you the Kitty Cat song if you need further enlightenment. That one is real fun.

This is probably very true. That's the joy of private entries, is that no one can see them but you. Of course, the problem with that is if you start talking to yourself with them. At that point you need to just back away from the computer.

That's not stuck in my head; right now I have "Isaac's Lament" in my head ("The Looove Boat, Love Boat's dropped its anchor / Bought up by some banker / Hired out as a tanker!" by Uncle Bonsai, the best group no one knows) for absolutely no reason. I never even watched the show, and I haven't heard the song in months.

You know that you can make custom friends' groups so that you can show entries only to people you know won't flame you or betray your Sekrit Identity? I have a group I call "RL Friends," people I knew before LJ and a very few of my oldest online friends (most of whose real names I know by now), and I post only to them things with lots of identifying characteristics or otherwise problematic entries.
