Reading back through my notes
March 13, 2006
I'm reading back through my notes, and I feel like I need to apologize for the lack of links. I keep thinking I will add them in later, but then I keep running out of time. And there will be a lack of links in this post, too, because I'm probably going to miss my bus by just typing this. I also keep having new ideas for non-sxsw (but maybe inspired by sxsw) stuff that I want to write about. The theme of platonic/non-sexual male/female relationships is totally weighing on my mind. Also, I was inspired by a few things my friend Susan and I talked about regarding that topic, and the messed up state of relationships, and the difficulties surrounding the fact that we are all such fucked up people, and my history with boys/men and choosing or desiring NOT to have sex with them. I would like to talk about our tendency to split people off into pair bonds as opposed to communities (inspired by the "Bloggers in Love" panel). I also want to talk more about being totally open about your identity and other people still reading your blog "even though" you talk about issues (like parenting, race, gender, etc.) that they don't necessarily want to/feel they need to read. I really think it's more about THEM than about YOU, but still, self-censorship will happen if you want to retain readers. Also, something that was said about linking to personal blogs struck me. I think it was Kottke who said that it's kind of a policy of his not to link to personal stories because he feared that the people writing those stories migh tnot necessarily want to share them with a larger audience. I found that interesting, too, considering how many people linked to Bone's story...and I wonder if that criteria can end up being gender-specific/gender-exclusive. I was also really enjoying my bus ride this morning, listening to music and just smiling, and I wanted to write a post about just. being. happy. Also, I thought I'd try to find the story that I was going to attempt to retell yesterday at Fray. I know it was published in my friend Coleen's zine, but I don't know if it ever made its way online. And, in fact, I don't even know if I have a copy of it anywhere.
So, I have a lot of thoughts rolling through my head. There are a few time slots today that are ambiguous to me, so perhaps I'll sit near a plug and pound away on my beloved keyboard for a bit. If anyone has any votes for content that would help me narrow it down, I would sure appreciate it!
