update

[drydem]

So, it's been a while since I said anything of substance. Or really, much of anything at all. I am standing by my statement on new years day. Fuck it all. However, as I am sober, I will attempt to explain it more thoroughly. I feel that in my life I have spent far too much time weighing consequences. I measure every possible bit of data and take far too few risks. Some of you, hell most of you have probably seen me do this. While it has led to me being quite patient in general, it has also led to me missing many opportunities and talking myself out of others. So, I have decided, fuck it all. Fuck excessive risk management. Fuck avoiding conflict. Fuck following arbitrary rules. Fuck it all. Fuck meaningless conversation. Fuck doing things merely out of "obligation". Fuck the idea of letting people treating me like I don't matter. Fuck it all. Fuck seeking approval. Fuck looking for opinions instead of trusting my intuition. Fuck prophecy and divination. Fuck it all.
So, that's it. I don't really have much else to say.

Funnily enough...

I seem to recall this was almost word for word, my New Year's Resolution from last year (although I think I had some British swears as well, for variation). I can't say I followed it very well, but it did make some things better. I even made inspirational "fuck it!" signs in neon highlighter, although I should warn you in advance that it's better to hide them before people come over, or they might get the wrong idea. Then again, this advice runs counter to the "fuck it" philosophy, so... oh well. Whatever. Fuck it.

comments are screened because it's not about the comments, but disabling comments always seems like asking for more comments to me.

and for the record, fuck metaphors for living that involve pop culture.

*raises an eyebrow* Pop culture?

changeling (unseelie) is pop culture.

isn't it also a frame of reference? i find that the terms 'seelie' and 'unseelie' tend to, at certain times, more adequately describe things when i'm talking to a specific audience (the changeling gamers, of course).

oh wait. we were fucking it. (;

yeah, fuck that. I am not a changeling. I do not have archetypical seelie and unseelie sides. I have a variety of moods and feelings that cannot be summed up by simply referring to them as merely seelie or unseelie. To do so is to minimize the depth of feeling and emotion that goes into every act that I make. So Fuck that.
