Tuesday 07/23/96 I noticed anxiety in myself, when there's no new materials to post on my website. Today woke up from a cool lucid dream and caught myself regretting that it's had adult content, so I cannot post it (heh). Here's good approach for adding stuff to website - when I have something to share, but nobody to tell it to, then put it on a webpage. * Observation: I am annoyed when things act up unexpectedly. Result: no air to breathe, no desire to talk to anybody. Also worry that somebody's watching over my shoulder as I work, and feeling that I have to explain myself to everybody. Also impatience. And being unhappy with myself and fear. Full package. Wednesday 07/24/96 New, positive definition for users who call me for support and don't know what they are doing: 1) It can be funny. 2) Gives me a chance to practice my 'explanation skills'. * Methods of Entropy: When my True Self is expressing, enhtropy gives me an expectation of a specific (positive) reaction from others. Then, I feel down when reaction is different. * I wonder, can the laughtrack in American TV shows be explained as an attempt to get approval from outside? * When I plagiarize a funny expression from a book/movie, I feel it's a good thing - keeping the joke alive. |
