The past few months have been hard. It has been said I am sullen and there is truth to that observation. Generally I am not this way but lately my cup runneth over and not necessarily in a good way.
Between work stress, parenting teenagers, a deadline driven SL job, a fairly heavy (for me) summer travel schedule even with a week of vacation I am tired.
The whole Emerald thing hasn't helped. There are people who have suggested I should never have written in support of Emerald. I am not an investigative journalist and this is my personal blog so anything I write is pure opinion. Disagree with me? Cool. But seriously folks, do your own research and please do not take your technology advice from me. I am no expert.
I don't mind the criticism of my blogging and I don't even mind the verbal abuse at public events for no particular reason. Insane tweets intended to make me feel terrible run off me like water off a duck's back. I just don't have the mental energy for any of that kind of stuff. The one thing that does makes me sad is I believe I lost a friend because of what I wrote about Emerald this past week.
Sighs.

I have not noticed you to be sullen, just busy, some stressed.... and we all have times like that. It is life. And we share it.
If you lost a friend because of Emerald comments, I am sorry for their loss. Not everyone is in favor of personal expression. I am :)
In an effort to warm your heart, /me places a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, and some rubber doggie poo on your front step, rings the doorbell, and runs for the bushes.
I love the name of your blog, and I'm saying that now because I hope you get to say more about good dreams and less about bad ones in the future.
I hate that you get trampled on by people who wouldn't be half as open and giving as you are!
Please keep dreaming and sharing, for as long as you are strong enough, because you are truly inspiring!

Thanks to all of you.

You can't lose a friend over voicing an opinion. You are an investigative writer and you will have opinions that differ from your friends.
Agreed that people are insensed about what happened and feeling emotionally volatile. That will pass I think and all points of view will be respected once the furor dies down.
Kudo's to you for expressing what was in your head and not just "going with the flow". The world needs more independent thinkers.
