So today I did something old school that I haven't done for a while - no not post on this here board, but take photographs with a camera you have to use with film. Where every shot is a meticulous process of measuring, manually focusing, checking and re-checking each step before pressing the shutter release. But the end product is so satisfying- a picture you made and not just took. You thought about it's composition, lighting and more - and yet still don't comprehend it's beauty until it has developed, been appraised and adored.°
It reminds me of a post on here- it must be meticulously composed, attention paid to formatting and context. And really thought about how the audience will perceive it. A post on this Forum should be given the same justice as a work of art. I've always put effort into posts - Facebook is so throwaway but here, a post is a concerted effort. You want to impress your peers and write something worthy. This is why TMO is special and why no one else will get it.
The thing I forgot about TMO as well is that you always leave a footprint. You can't delete what you have posted-sure you can edit it but not all the evidence is gone. So hence my earlier arseage. I'll be more careful in the future I promise.

My brain is like a hyperactive toddler at the moment at having TMO back. Mentally I'm rolling on my back on the floor waving my arms and legs in the air and shrieking gibberish. I'm THAT happy.

Basically my point was that I'm so excited I don't compose and formulate nutt'n. Brain think thing, fingertype.

I did the same thing and went through the exact same thought process. I mean, I knew I was a twat in my twenties but your posts were absolutely horrendous.

I'm joking of course. I didn't go through CB's posts and think she was awful. Just my own. I haven't bothered to read anything anyone else wrote yet, and probably won't.

Also sorry about the post mix up above. For some reason Octavia was logged in on my computer despite having two (!) of her own. Not sure how that happened - it can only be some kind of internet virus I imagine.

Kind of impressive how well the Thorn Davis fiction suit still fits...

I like to know that whichever computer I sit down at I can pick up whatever threads I left hanging on another computer. #life'slittleluxuries

So it's all about you, nothing changes then
I haven't done a forum post in forever. This feels strangely retro.
