And, to those of you who don't have one, my three kitties would be happy to oblige.

They are all three huggy this morning.

In fact, Bakura has been laying over my shoulder, hugging and kissing and purring in my ear for the longest time. We play the balancing act while I try to type. :)

And, kitty Kero woke me up at 5:10 this morning, meowing in my face. Then, he proceeded to sort through the bookcase beside my bed because he knows I keep trinkets there (which he likes to drag off and play with), as well as books, and he knows we hide kitty goodies in there, too. If we don't, he finds them and chews a hole in the bag to get at them.

Silly cat.

Baby Malik curls around my feet while I work.

And, all is quiet.

While I wasn't thrilled at first to get up that early (I did because I knew the trash truck would come wake me up again if I fell asleep and then I'd need to get up and bathe so I could get to breakfast before it got crowded.), I've actually had a chance to look at what people posted to their LJ's overnight and even had time to make a few comments.

I like this. I could get used to this.

Good morning, everyone! Hope you have a most wonderful of days!

Huge ::HUGS:: and good tidings to one and all!!!

Just because sometimes my brain thinks pointless thoughts. :)

Okay, okay, my brain often thinks pointless thoughts. But, it's a good brain anyway and I think I'll keep it.

Why do you have a Live Journal? Do you keep it to actually use it as a journal and keep records for yourself? Do you keep it to interact with other people? Peer pressure? Why?

How long have you had your LJ? How many posts have you made?

Are you addicted to LJ? Do you miss the days you don't post or read your FL?

Do you find yourself posting to get responses from other people? To discuss certain aspects of life with other people? Because you need to know that there are people who care?

Most of the people I've met on LJ are writers. Do you feel that it enhances your craft/learning experience/anything else about writing by communing/discussing/asking questions with others?

How frequently do you go back and look at your old posts?

This, perhaps, is what brought up the pointless question. I do use my LJ to keep track of things, including my ups and downs with writing, my accomplishments, my progress on pieces I'm working on, thoughts that I might lose in the normal course of life if I hadn't chronicled them somewhere.

I'm sure most of you have noticed that I've had a lot of downs over the past few months. It happens. LIFE happens. I've noticed I've lost a handful of people from my FL and I figure that's probably the reason.

However, looking back over my more productive days, watching patterns in my writing when there are lows in real life, reading back over posts that I've made to determine where I actually started having trouble...that helps me a lot. Helps me work through the problems I'm having. Reminds me, when I say I suck and I'll never be able to write 13,000 words in one day again or that I'll never finish another novel or that all my brain cells have died that I've said this all before. I've had these lows before. And, then I've had the triumph of working through it all and coming back even stronger and more determined to persevere.

Will it happen again? Yes. Will I get over it all again? I sure as hell hope so! I'm trying.

However, I also have to admit that I love getting comments. I love making comments. I love meeting people and getting to know them, and discussing life and writing with them.

So, anybody want to share why you're here?

Geez, I don't think I've really just spilled my brain in a long time. It feels...good. :)

Triple Chocolate no sugar added ice cream, to be exact.

Mmmmmmmmm.....chocolate.

It was 102 degrees here today. Even tonight, it remains hot, though I know most of that is probably heat that rose during the day since I live in an upstairs apartment.

I've worn as little as possible all day and have still sweltered away. Whew! I hope I get new filters for my air conditioners soon.
