I notice that various people are turning IP-tracking off, and allowing anonymous comments, for a few hours at a time - so that people can leave confessional comments, mostly. This journal runs that way all the time, but I almost never get anonymous comments. So, go on. Tell me something interesting, and don't identify yourself.

That way I won't feel bad about including bits of your life in a game without asking you :)

Shadesong used to be a friend of mine till she attacked me for no reason.
Most of my dreams involve a complex setting that is the same from dream to dream, like an alternate universe every night.

*snort* Good to know you're not still obsessing over it, whoever you are. *amused smile*

Because your life is so wonderfully special that everyone envies you.

Oh, okay. Because, see, I'd've guessed that it's because your life is utterly pathetic. The only thing you can think to do in an anonymous confessional post is use it as an excuse to bash someone else? Fixated much? Sheesh. Mmm, and, being anonymous... cowardly much?

Please, for your own sake - go read a book or something. Paint. Dance. Find something besides mindless jealousy and hatred to fill your life.

Unless, of course, your goal in life is to serve as unintentional amusement - in which case, go ahead.

(sorry, gothwalk, couldn't resist. this was just too funny to leave alone. i'll stop poking the rabid animal with a stick now.)

Speaking of amusing...

How is being anonymous in an anonymous confession thread cowardly? I'm so confused.

I don't even see how it's an attack. It's a statement. Maybe I'm projecting, but if I'd said the same thing, it would be out of regret and sadness. *shrug*

Re: Speaking of amusing...

Did I say it was an attack? Nope. Sure, it's a statement - a statement that the person is unhealthily dwelling on a misperceived event at least several months in the past, to the exclusion of having a life of their own. Seriously, if the only thing they're capable of thinking of to post in an anonymous confessional is a lie about how I "done them wrong" - again, after months, in which everyone else has managed to get on with their lives just fine - that's unutterably sad.

Using an anonymous comment thread as an excuse to bash an unrelated person anonymously is cowardly. The person's second statement, regarding the dream, was not cowardly; the first statement was.

You're not unrelated. Everyone knows Gothwalk's your bitch.

One sunny day I was sitting downtown at a bus stop, smelling the air of green things, alpine scent mixed with exhaust and the smell of the sea, enjoying the sunshine and cloudless blue skies,

when a man walked by. He was holding a dripping wet stuffed toy cat by its J-hook tail, smiling amiably at nothing as he walked past the bus station, off toward the edge of the downtown on the seashore, where no one goes but tourists. (there's no beach here, only tidal mud flats.)
