Anan's (not-so) Randomness!
No quotation marks... We wouldn't want to seem too uppity, now would we?
Feelings (Oh-ho!)

It has been said: "what girls say and do can be completely different from what they're feeling..." I must agree with this statement. So... Should we always say exactly what we're feeling? I've considered going back through all my blog posts and editing them so they say what I was actually feeling. That would be rather interesting wouldn't it? Or maybe I should just write some new posts in which I say what I'm actually feeling. OooOoooOoo...
LOL I know that this statement isn't meant to apply strictly to blog posts. But even if I always said exactly what I meant or was feeling in normal conversation <shudders> I would have to learn to not think or "feel" things. Unless I wanted to continue feeling and thinking the same things and just start telling people about them.
In other words, we have good reasons for not always saying exactly what we're feeling. Life would be awfully frightening if we did...
I *also* realize that the above statement is not saying that we should start saying what we really feel. It's just bemoaning the fact that we don't usually.
Hmm... What if we always did what we felt like doing? Oo! Now *there's* an idea!

Don't over-analyze it. >_> The point is to not be deceitful. Personally I think it's better to be conservative about your opinions - ESPECIALLY concerning people you know - but to be as honest as possible if someone asks you a question. And if someone does ask you a question, and you don't want to say, or can't, or shouldn't, tell them that. That way you can still be polite without having to make things up, and it prevents gossiping, as well.

I'm nominating this for Most Vague Post Evar, by the way.

Thank you. It is rather incredible. Even besides the lack of proper punctuation.

Mr. Speaker, (yes that stuff is still on my brain)
I disagree with rep. Denim. I hold this post to be beautifully expressive of a feeling I and the author mutually hold.
It is indeed a pity that so few of us actually communicate what we feel. Instead we spew forth a few senseless statements that have nothing to do with what our true thoughts, opinions and emotions really are. When we speak we unintentionally decieve ourselves and our listeners and misrepresent ourselves to both parties.
Yet to reveal every thought and emotion of our minds, hearts, and nervous sytem would not be beneficial for either ourselves or our hearers.
I think females especially feel the need to let people know what and how they feel. But at the same time, we suspiciously suspect that either no one will want to know, or they will treat deep feelings as something insignificant. When we reveal our true thoughts and feelings we females feel a great sense of vulnerability. I do not think that males always understand that when a girl speaks of her feelings or thoughts that she is trusting him with an item she considers as part of her very self. She is literally putting her heart in his hands. Not that he is the object of affection, but because the thoughts she reveals are a part of her heart.
I'll admit that I have nothing to prove this, and that the previous statement is not true in all circumstances, but keep it in mind.
In light of this. I consider Rep. Anan's post to be quite conclusive in it's analysis and I relegate Rep. Denim's nomination to the darkest dankest corner on the House floor.
Thank You.
