afk, coughing up lung.
Apr. 30th, 2011 09:42 pmI had a thought today, as I was driving home, that I'm not sure I've ever thought before, as such: I don't expect people to be interested in my life. It's my job to make my life interesting to people.
(I don't think people are interested in my life, but in my head, that's less emo than it looks, typed out.)
This is certainly A Thing for me on the internet, what with the journals and the facebook statuses and all, repackaging my life experiences as mild entertainment, but I have a clear memory of self-deprecating humor well back into elementary school. I believe that my mother cares, at least, and maybe I'll allow myself to be convinced by others, in time.
In thinking about this further, because it was a long freaking drive and I was out of range of the good radio station, I actually kind of like this as A Thing. I have very, very infrequent bouts of What Does It All Mean, and I have still not come up with anything more eloquent than Bill & Ted did, but I like that idea of making your life interesting to others, because I like interesting just a bit more than I like valuable, but interesting needn't be showy. It can just be relevant.
Also, I would very much like to quit my job. This is connected to my desire to follow a vocation of value, and also to my desire to never speak to my boss ever again, especially after the email last last night.
I have other things to say, mostly about Broadway, if I can ever edit them into coherence. The Normal Heart! American Idiot! (...still!) Sister Act! With those three in recent history, I feel like the next show I go see needs to be thematically just as far apart, but I'm out of prospects for the moment.
