A philosophical question

[winter]

What does one write about in Livejournal when there's nothing to write about that would be interesting to other people?

In the past few days I've managed to crack a tooth, break two nails, learn the basics of financial modelling, start arranging the four days I'll spend in Berlin in June (watching dancing vampires, of course) and chat a bit with fyrie. Work's taking up a large enough chunk of my mind that I don't have much energy left once I go home - enough to write a bit of our RP/collaborative fiction thing, read the comms I follow, and that's about it. About the only interesting thing in my real life is that I'm going to the last audition stage of the Moniuszko vocal competition on Saturday. I'm tentatively arranging to buy a Takarazuka DVD via a friend, but again, that's not of interest to anyone.

I don't see any points about meta, I'm not watching/reading/listening to anything that'd constitute a fandom other people follow, and what writing creativity I have is engaged by the aforementioned RP/collaborative fiction thing.

I'm seriously entertaining the idea of taking up drawing again just so I'll have something to post that other people can poke fun at.

I thought that was considered a blasphemous question in the Land of Blog?

FWIW, I agree with your sentiment, but there seems to be a lot of things that could be made interesting even in the short snippet above. Why do you want the Takarazuka DVD? Is it good? What is it about? What's the Moniuszko vocal competition about - not "Polish Idol" I hope?

Anyway, while there's no deatch of subjects to write about - there never is - I get a feeling it's more limited by the two constant enemies: Time and Energy.

Would you have T&E to draw?

*snickers* Polish Idol it ain't. Vocal opera competition.

I think half the problem is because I write so much between work and the RP, I'm kind of burned out on it. Drawing is something I want to get better at, so it's a technical effort rather than a creative one. Plus I've just learned to draw noses facing forward - which is much harder than it sounds, IMHO.
