Theodora Elucubrare

There is very little new to say about online self-presentation, but there's nothing new under the sun either, so whatever. I'm thinking about my tone specifically -- I try, at my best, for lyrical breezy: long, loosely connected sentences with, hopefully, a light humor amid the complaints, that can bloom into bigger things. Each post is a Journey from wherever I started to wherever the grammar of the sentence and the process of writing took me. This post probably doesn't exactly have a Point, but it is interesting to see how this style and tone have evolved over the years -- 2017 is definitely almost but not quite there; and I definitely fall out of the bouncy complaints into real ones when I'm miserable, and the style itself is much too self-pitying, self-aggrandizing, and melodramatic. The resolution is, therefore, to stay bouncy even when doing that self-pity.
