Sensible Self has been on my case for the past week. And since she is SENSIBLE, there is no arguing with her. Worse, since she is a SELF, there is no getting away from that nagging voice either.
Tsk
Sensible Self: So you are just going to leave the blog there are you Macy?
Macy: Yes.. I thought so.
Sensible Self: Thought so?
Macy: yes, well it would be a good place to leave it and all. What with starting in the pits, then going full circle back to employment and after W.
Sensible Self. Except full circle would bring you back to the pits wouldn't it??
Macy: Pffft.....pedant.
Sensible Self: If you are going to do that big gesture, finish the blog thing, then you should write a big grand closing entry shouldn't you? Closure. Closure would be good.
Macy: Yup.
Sensible Self: So why don't you?
Macy: Oh, you know, I just don't want to. I miss blogging. I miss cruising around all the other blogs out there.... Some of those bloggers have started to feel like friends you know?
Sensible Self: Well you can still read other blogs! Good grief! Since when did reading someone else's blog mean you had to write your own?
Macy: But it wouldn't feel right..... also I miss the WRITING.
Sensible Self: Well you'd better get back to the blog then hadn't you?
Macy: I will, yeah, right, I will!
Sensible Self: Because some Big Stuff has been going down lately, and you wouldn't want anyone to think you're only going to blog when you have some big news to impart.
Macy: Like some drama queen?
Sensible Self: Exactly. Get back to writing. And mention the Forthcoming Attractions.
Macy: Like the Small Boutique Counting House saga?
Sensible Self: That would be a good one to get going on yes.
Macy: Thinking I might resort to the old blue grey format as well....
Sensible Self. Look I'm SENSIBLE. Sensible people do not, by definition CARE about background colour.
Nuff said.

But you only have to write or comment when you feel like it--and yes I know what you say about friends---almost and from all over the place.
So why not
And we would miss you and cherub and Ned

Jings! Crivvens! Help Ma Boab!!!
The best thing about blogging is that you CAN dip in and out when the fancy takes.
So just do that!

Yep, I'm in a dip in and out phase. Sometimes I go hell for leather... but at the moment I'm just dipping my toe.
And you should hear what my sensible self has to say to me... honestly, she's a cow.

My sensible self is firmly to the fore during the week, intent on passing exams, but I like to break free every now and then to entertain the masses. But it's nice to hear from you, post or comment, We become caught up in lives and it's always nice to know that there are a few people who notice our presence or absence. Like we do yours.

Clyde - Absolutely! Cheers! And you stay posted for the announcement of Plan A now!
Rog - Ocht wheesht yersel! This blog isnae goan to get PAROKIAL or anything.
Ms Scarlet - Erm I'd have thought your sensible self would have more to worry about WHEN you blog...
Mme DeF - Aww, you THING you. Remember and give us all good warning WHEN the accounting exams are going to be held, so we can send out cosmic wishes.

My Sensible Self has no say in anything. It's my bitch. It says "Finish that work before you start painting" and I'm all "Ha. Right. I'm going to go get chocolate, play some Xbox and then I'm going to get a beer." Sensible Self's given up.
Real me hopes you are not going to stop blogging. Real me might cry.

Thanks for dropping by my place and leaving your comment about suicide. It's a touchy subject and people hold a rather simplistic view. My view on blogging is, I blog when I feel like it. lol.
9 February 2010 at 22:15
Blog when you feel like it, ditto with the comments. You're always welcome but don't feel it has to be a duty.
But if you are going to go a-wandering off, leave a slab of tablet behind so's we've got something to keep us occupied. (-;

Ms Veg - Sending you and your poor wee sensible self a virtual Bellini Pear Cocktail.
Let sensible self put a sprig of mint in it for nutritional value hey?
Ms Bradley - You're welcome. For the record I think it's going to be harder to write if your character doesn't go through with it.
Mr Musgrove - OK doke. If I do decide to give up blogging I will make sure that my last entry includes my failsafe recipe for Toothmelting Tablet.

OK, Macy, I have a few words to your Sensible Self, so put her (or him, as it may be -- yes, it happens) on the line.
Already?
OK, here goes:
Yo, Sensible Self, butt out. Just in the blog situation, OK? You can be sensibly interfering in other matters, why not, but leave Macy's blog alone.
Alright, hope s/he got it.
