Already, after only a couple of days of leaving comments instead of  skimming, I have learned more about bloggers.  I have to really read the blog in order to leave a sensible comment. It has been quite interesting in a self-obsessed manner.

Thanks, Beachie! I am quite vain, but not really self-absorbed....

And vanity is often paired with insecurity and fear of rejection....Hmmmm.....think about it!

You tell us so much about what you are doing and through that we can know you which is what we enjoy...

Beachebelle....

Being the self-absorbed vixen that I am, I just love writing about myself.  And being the egomaniac that I am, I love that the world is obsessed with knowing about me, which is as it should be!  

Love,

Whammie

Although you can't find your car I am glad you found my blog.

I'm adding you to my favorites. You have some really good insights into the writing world, one I kinda sorta live in thanks to having my own weekly humor column that pays very little.

I will soon smell the roses as the work is almost done. Glad you have a nice spot too.

Yes, it takes a lot of adjusting when one changes their life, but I love to read you have a nice place to go and sit with a nice view. It's cold here now, but I get a better view of the hills and river now that the leaves are off the trees. So my change has been good for me too, but it is taking a lot of time.

Mary, the fuschia is Ok really. i would love to claim to be Hitchcockian

in my approach. It is interesting what we learn about ourselves by peeping in on others. I enjoyed your comment

Oh, good grief, I apologize for the annoying fuschia,

Anyway, what I said, in a shorter form, was that I learned from watching an analysis on dvd of Hitchcock's "Rear View Window" that Hitchcock consciously used the audience's voyeuristic self-involvement to involve them/us in his character's lives: to compare and contrast ourselves to them, and give perspective.

I suffer most from the isolation of it all. I am a social butterfly of the

highest order, and while I have others around me, they are not those that I can speak to freely. More freedom is nice, but then sometimes it's too much freedom.

Beachbelle,

I leanrned something similar to this, the idea of comparing ideas and emotions, and how that can be incorporated into fiction, as I was watching an analysis of Hitichcock's Rear View Windwo yesterday.  The analystss pointed out that the genius behind Hitchcock and his longevity was in that he provoked the voyeur in his audience to compare themselves to Jimmy Stewart's neighbors.  It is an interesting perspective.

I've always preferred telling a story rather than simply relaying information, especially if it's about me. It's the southerner in me rushing to the surface. I'd also much rather be told a story rather than a dry reading of the minutes. I've tried to make telling an insignificant personal account of a situation to prove a larger more significant point my journal blogging specialty. most of the time, it turns out okay.

The qualities I mention here were in your post yesterday. It struck a chord.

All so true, Beachie. Took me years to adjust too.

I still don't like it much. Want to be an armchair philosopher in the worst way. Or a housewife. Although without a husband, that might prove somewhat difficult.
