Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I've noticed that most of my journal entries aren't very cheerful. This disturbs and amuses me. It's easier to be depressing in writing than it is to be happy. Maybe it's a subconscious cry for help. Who knows? Since it's subconscious I certainly wouldn't.

I seem to be amused by different things than other people a lot of the time. My own mistakes. Typos. Little actions that randomly pop out of me. I say amused because I'm not a energetic person. If I were an energetic person I would find things "funny". There's a difference. Probably.
Like the emotional difference between a nice old cat and a nice middle aged dog.

Would saying "I'm old for my age" count as an oxymoron? Like "military intelligence"?

You can make healthier brownies by replacing milk and oil and whatnot with blended black beans. Did you know that? Now you do. I haven't tried it yet but apparently they taste the same. Cool.

Perhaps my writing would be more "funny" if I used chatspeak such as the ever present "lol". I prefer not to use "lol" or "lmao" or "roflmao" because everyone else uses them and I think they must get tired.

I use the emotes when I can/need to but emotes here are distinctly limited. There's no emote that looks like a yellow smily guy version of "^_^" and there's no emote that shows concern or worry. Emotes work in combination sometimes but it's not as effective.
