I probably asked this . . .

because I haven't had any dinner. A fact I just realized.

Eat some dinner. :)

You are not boring!

Your LiveJournal is full of neat anecdotes on daily life plus the budding development of a novel (which I find fascinating).

The most exciting thing on my LJ is dropping the keys down the grate. ;)

Usually when I see long entries I skim them, but no matter what length you write, I always take the time to read it thoughtfully because I think you have many excellent things to say and issues that in some way help the rest of us.

You are not boring. You are Peg. This is by definition Interesting. The world needs a Peg of your flavor. You are filling an important niche in the ecosystem.

Relax, enjoy, have something to eat; it's cool. Really.

no way!

Nope. Not boring. Not at all.

Nope. If that was your goal, I hate to break it to you, but you've failed.

Nope, not boring. I'm a nosy person by nature, so I enjoy seeing tidbits from other people's lives - your nights out, your family, your beautiful observations about things. I love reading about Peg-the-author, which somehow makes Peg-the-person even more interesting. (You know how you were always amazed as a kid that your teachers had 'real' lives? ;) )

I'm also finding it very interesting to watch you go through the process of brainstorming and researching your novel. I have no such ambitions myself (given that I seem to be purely a short-story writer, and couldn't come up with an 'original', non-fanfiction idea to save my life) but it's fascinating to see all the work that goes into the book we pick up on the shelves. I've worked on the technical aspect of that -- typesetting the books before they go to print -- but that's all.

One of the things I like about your posts is -- most of our friends still have very young children, and we're only getting our first next year. So I'm enjoying seeing -- or perhaps getting the warnings ;) -- for the different sorts of joys and frustrations you encounter as they get older too.

Hope you felt better after food.

In general: no. In LiveJournal: no. Two Friday nights ago at the Tramps & Hawker's concert: no.

Not even a little bit.

If I say "yes" will you tell us more stories?

[lcohen]

no!

i'm actually finding watching this process unfold fascinating.

I know you don't know who I am, because I lurk, but I found your journal through a link on another person's journal (where I also lurk...am terrible lurker ^_^), and I've never talked to you. All I know are the things that you write in your journal, and based on those things, I don't think that you're boring at all. Also, as a would-be novelist myself, I'm really loving your account of the unfolding of your next book. And I like the anecdotes about your family - they remind me of my family :)

Yes, Peg, you're boring. That's why you have all these people that read your live journal. Of course you're not boring. None of us think that you're boring. ::sigh:: eat something.

[queerasjohn.livejournal.com]

No, you appear to be mistaking disinterest for hunger. *grin* You're one of the most interesting people on my Friends Page, Peg. And don't you forget it!

Nope. i would never have a boring best friend.

You are not boring. In fact, your livejournal is sufficiently interesting that I've been recommending it to various of my friends who write, or like fantasy novels, or whom I simply think would enjoy reading about both your brainstorming process & your life in general.

I like reading about you & your daughters - children are very far off in my future, but I do contemplate them from time to time, and reading about the raising of them is thus really interesting to me.
