Yes, there are times when I take a break or don't post much, but most days I'm here a LOT. The thing is, I don't really turn my computer off if I'm home, so the org is nearly always open. I just come and go along with doing all the other stuff I'm doing. I know I'd miss the org if I stopped coming here for a week or more, so I'm not sure what that means. I used to org when bored and home alone, for sure, but these days not so much. It's probably replaced TV in many ways, as I'm sure the internet in general has for many people, who find they watch less TV now and spend more time on the net.

NDRU said:

that's understandable.


Erin and I don't really hide much with our personality's, so we don't worry much about what is said. I only get a little embarrassed when she gives a little too much bedroom detail.

I think these distractions block the voices sometimes (though this place also strangely provides an outlet for them as well). I am trying to listen to them more these days after a few years of trying to suppress them.

I've been turning the org off just after lunch these days

NDRU said:

never suppress the voices - you never know when you'll really need to talk to someone and no one else is around

I'm totally being serious...

Fauxie said:

I'd like to be able to come & go more. I get very focused. That is part of why the TV is a problem for me, too, I can't ignore it.

i love the intelligent humor on the org. and the show us your boobs threads.

sammij said:

I didn't really do it on purpose, but I began to realize recently that there was always some outside stimulus going on in my life, not the silence where my own thoughts can emerge.

sammij said:

hearing voices in your head is no big deal. (I honestly DO hear them)

When you start ARGUING with those voices, well now, that's a horse of a different color.

JerseyKRS said:

that's what it seems, you guys don't hide much.
I don't really hide stuff to protect myself, but my gf just doesn't want to hear every truth in my mind I edit for her benefit

JerseyKRS said:

Like your own voice, or different ones?

JerseyKRS said:

Fair
I don't tend to pick fights with'em though (too often)

I remember coming here years ago just for prince news, and when I actually started reading the comments I thought they were absolutely hilarious. I just read for about a year before posting.

I remember my first post, and I was so nervous, I thought people would shit all over me.

MoniGram said:

ok, signal the crazy person siren, cause here I go.....

no, like, different voices. Lately they are just single words. I hear them clear as day as if someone were in the same room as me. Nothing crazy or scary, just...well...words.

MoniGram said:

for me it's my voice but different... personalities/qualities/tones

they're usually voices of reason or intuition

or just crazed creativity.

MoniGram said:

I hear my own voice, personally. Maybe I hear other noises mixed in, but I hear a lot of my own voice, like thousands of me talking at once.

NDRU said:

how long have you heard these voices? tell me about your mother. How do the voices make you feel?

BlackAdder7 said:

I love my mother, and I am so fucking jealous of my father!

My personal life has little to do with me being on the org.


I can be heavily involved and surrounded by friends and at a nightclub, and I'll log onto my phone and post some shit.






It's hard to explain to folks, but I don't watch T.V. This is my entertainment. Some people watch T.V. for hours, regardless of their own personal lives.

TheVoid said:

we both tried to log on in ybor, fucking wonky ass cell signal!

NDRU said:

what was your first post?

BlackAdder7 said:

I can't remember, I just remember being nervous when I did it. It was probably about Lovesexy or something. I was so excited to have finally found someone else who knew what that was.

JerseyKRS said:

That's really interesting....

I don't hear much inside my head at all

is that bad?

sammij said:

Now I will talk to myself in my head....it's like my head voice has more reason then the real/physical me.

ZombieKitten said:

maybe you need to watch more TV

You know a person can be lonely surrounded by people. I think people can have a lot of acquaintances. But I've noticed..except with the people I'm really close to.. it's about having fun.. or I dunno.. nothing very deep. People just keep things light.

Sometimes you can have some honest discussions on the internet more so than in real life.

Like in P&R.. I can't have those "raw" types of discussions with my friends or family--except maybe my husband and my best girlfriend. I think in real life, it's really hard to have discussions about race, politics.. religion

I think, too, you can share your fears.. ask questions.. I dunno.. not be judged so much or if you are.. well, it doesn't matter anyway. Sometimes I wonder if a person can be more real on the internet in certain situations.

I hate to say this but in real life... I sometimes think it's really difficult to handle certain topics which is a shame, actually. People get all offended..
They do here, too, but.. you can still read different people's thoughts and ideas on different subjects

I've noticed here, people talk about everything..

NDRU said:

don't feel bad, I think my first post was about an aftershow.

A while back I wrote an Org Haiku (I remember Miguel & Jersey liked this one)

Really need to work
Click on "My Org" once again
Now I'll never work
