Things are ok here too. It is hot though as I am sweating from doing nothing more than drinking coffee. I was just watching my cardinal buddy out in the back yard.

Congratulations on your 10000th post! What did this day bring you?

One post for every dimension of achievement, considering I was too scared to post 4 months ago...

The day was warm here too, bordering on hot for me. I didn't get up to much, tomorrow will be interesting though, I think!

That's great, how far you've come in such a short time. What is going on tomorrow that is going to be interesting?

Mm, posting on an internet forum is something most people take for granted, but I've said similar in the past so I don't see reason to repeat myself!

Well, I'll be out all day, so it may be a bit draining, and will be seeing a lot of people (for my standards at least, a few tens of people in all, probably)

Well posting on here is a challenge for me sometimes. I often sit and stare at the screen for a while searching my brain for something to say and coming up with nothing.

Seeing lots of people can be very draining especially if you are expected to have a conversation with them. So many rules to obey.

Yes, I get fairly drained and want to be on my own after about 3 hours of socialising.
I can last longer online though.

I'm reminded of social gatherings when I was younger. I would be involved in the party for a few hours and then end up off in the corner playing with the pets or up in a treehouse by myself haha.

Online there is the freedom of being able to extricate yourself very easily from interaction. If I turn my body 180 degrees I'm isolated once again. But why would I want to do that, you guys are great!

You smell of a field of freshly bloomed blossoms of the rarest variety of wildflower that only grow in the remotest mountain glen of the furthest reaches of the Himalayas where pure crystal spring water cascades unadulterated reflecting the golden shimmer of the sun.


I went to pretentious, run-on sentence marketing school. OK not really.

Something I've noticed that is frighteningly common is where people put apostrophes on plural acronyms.
