Wanting to play in the blogosphere again, having been on the outside looking in for a few years, I’ve been spending time with people on my blogroll. Voices I’ve missed. Many have gone quiet.
Clicked over to Susie Bright’s, who wrote in September: Most of my now-ancient blog is my diary and opinion. Although what blew me away wasn’t her opinion, but the opinions of Ted Hughes who passes down to his son, among other things, the first and most crucial fact about people.
New voices for me, Ted Hughes’, and the one inside me who still wants to play.
HELP! I'm trapped in my armor!!!

how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated.
I found that meetings and projects started to go much better once I recognized that pretty much everybody feels like they are faking it, and they are terrified that someone will catch on.
It makes other people's actions much more understandable.

...It also makes a lot of that Queen of Versaille movie a lot more understandable.
Although it still just pissed me off. What self-absorbed wankers. So self-absorbed they never seemed to consider how they were going to come across in movie. "Well, at least you won't have to CLEAN it, Rosita!" It was like a really bad reality show. Starring the Palins.

I know. Remember the part when David Siegel is talking about his mom and the Hershey bar?
