that's deutsch for 'guilty conscience', and yes, i have one. no matter what i do.
today the deal is i was caught alone at diwan (local bookstore) by someone i knew and my big mouth had to sputter that i was on a people-diet.
"that's not healthy".
"what the f***?" would have been appropriate reaction.
But considering i had just gone in to buy a book called "Talk to the Hand" that criticises "the utter rudeness of everyday life" I say something polite like, "but I do meet some people" and qualify by saying i wasn't into loud crowds. why did i have to justify myself?
and why do people think that going into your own little shell is such a bad thing anyway? its like when you are on a diet, the world wants to drag you out of it.
how do they know its not healthy, and why should they be allowed to pass comment so easily? bother, bother. grumble, grumble.
i'm better off in my little corner, thank you. won't be biting anyone that way.

if you're upset, then be upset at the person. don't take it out on the readers of your blog :p
just kidding. i think a people diet is totally healthy, and totally your choice.

haha: "be upset at the person. don't take it out on the readers of your blog".
you imply that i have a readership :) if they read this, man, they deserve to be bitten ;)
*hugs* my usualy disclaimer here, "but you know i love you" if it is you.. you sound slightly diff. than your usual anonymous self :)
Definitely healthy. We just need to be alone to detox every so often. Hibernate away, chi-ta - shed the dead weight, slather away expired cells - spring is a-coming!
Methinks I meant slough there - slather on sunshine, slough off dead cells!
i liked slather away.. like a snake slithering away from dead skin.. they do that, you know? :)
not that i'm a snake or anything ;)
