Itsall Worthtelling~

Actually, when i look around at things now
as compared to maybe.. oh... 5 years ago,
i think maybe people (not necessarily "here",
but in general) are more rushed than they were
even then.

i don't know why that is,
but i just think it's so.

i don't think people tell stories as much,
or do a lot of other social things
to the extent that they did before.

for myself, i do stories better than i do conversation,
so that's probably why, when i post something,
it's more likely to be a story.
in fact, i probably have one or two that
i could write just this minute....
but many times, i can't think of what to say
when there's a conversation going on here.
that's just how i am, and i'm much the same
in "real life" off of here as i tend to be
very observant of what's going on around me,
but i don't talk all that much.
i kind of grew up that way,
so that's how i turned out to be.

but, yes, i do enjoy telling stories,
as you might guess.
i still do that a lot, but just not "here"
so much as i used to.
to tell stories, i think you need to be
a little inspired by things you hear or see.
i most feel like telling stories when i hear
something that triggers a response...

anyhow, i wonder how other people would
describe the pace of their lives now
compared to 5 years or so ago?
faster, more hectic, slower, more relaxed?

for myself, i've slowed down a lot.
maybe that's why everyone else
seems so rushed.
i'm living in my own little time warp.
suspended animation.

or perhaps i mean,
suspended animal-nation.
