The Green Room

My first post of 2010!  Except I’m not really crazy about resolutions, and while I’ve enjoyed reading the Decade in Review posts that have been going up around here, I’m not too keen on writing one myself.  There are large parts of the last decade that I have no desire to air in public, and equally large parts that I already have and wish that I hadn’t.  It is, curiously enough, only in happiness that I’ve learned reticence.  The only things it feels like I can talk about anymore are, not irrelevant, but peripheral.  The things in the center aren’t always mine to share, or they’re so big that I can’t even find words to describe them.  Is this why so many people blog about their cats?  Maybe I should go back to quoting Sufi poetry all the time.  At any rate, I would like to start using this space more again.  Part of the issue is due to work.  I am on the computer all day, five days a week, and when I come home it’s hard to make myself get on a computer again, which is why I’m about five months behind in my emails as well.  But I’ve also been putting off talking to people outside of the computer, because I get home and am tired and don’t feel like going out again, or even getting on the phone.  Which means, it’s not just a blogging issue, it’s a cutting myself off from people issue.  Sigh.  I guess I know what I need to work on.  Seems like I tricked myself into making a resolution after all.
