Dear Diary: So I stuck my finger in it...

My neglect of the visceraman1 community this last week, has not been because I don't like them, rather I've had nothing to say, and when staring at the page, I realize I hate the layout. There's just something about the layout that I don't like, I'm not sure what exactly I don't like about it, but I don't like it. (I should bring this up at the next meeting with my psychiatrist:

I've decided I really don't like my new layout, and because of that can't be bothered to write anything."

"Oh?"

"Right, I don't like it"

"So you don't like your new layout then?"

"Right."

"Why do you think that is?"

"I uh really have no idea, there's just something about it."

"I see. What don't you like about it?"

"I can't put my finger on it, there's just something wrong with it."

"Oh?"

"What are you writing?"

"So, you don' like your layout, but you're not sure what it is you don't like?"

"Right"

"Why do you think that is?"

"Huh?"

"What do you think is wrong with it?"

"Can I color in the book again?"

So long story short, there will be something new in the works over the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, I will turn the story writing over to Kerry, who has offered to share his translation of Rudyard Kipling's, "The Just So Stories" with you.

maybe you should talk to Mr. Brooks about your imaginary friends!

George Orwell stated his feelings toward Kipling's work and persona often. As usual (exception when he (George) was a narc) I agree with Orwell. You will find the best discussion of Kipling (by Orwell,) in "Why Orwell Is Important" (not by Orwell.) Enjoy!

I like the new layout. I guess my opinion doesn't fucking matter though does it?

William, your opinion does matter. Let's just say I was in a pissy mood...Now I have to go find this Orwell Expose and draft a small thesis for submission to Kerry, lest I be forced once again to endure a fistful of yellow snow being shoved down my gullet.

Alright I guess I accept that. I also am a very emotional pissy person. Although one would never gather that from the way I present myself in every day life.

I like to think of myself as a rather prissy person. At least that's what Administration said when she saw the assortment of facial masks, scrubs and ointments I had. And the way I squeal and leap into her arms at the very site of a crawling insect. (I faint when they fly).

I finally took all my beauty products to work (clear a shelf Kerry).

You forgot the line that all shrinks are famous for
"well, what do you think you don't like about the _____?

And then, "What do you think makes you feel that way?"

Very true. I like to squeeze in a bit of complete silence every now and then.

I tell him, "ssh...I'm listening."

and i like when they suggest this stems from one's childhood.

During my average session, I like to insert "well, my wife said", which seems to be a pretty good topic diversion and kills about 1/2 the session.

Only in emergencies will I say "Mother says", because that takes up the entire hour.

A few times now, I've said, "My brother...", but the Dr.Doctor is clearly not interested in going down that path.
