An Uncomfortable Dialogue

Voice in Head: You are not anonymous. Worse still, the person you want to whine and bitch about reads your blog. How do you then rant about a certain person’s behaviour? She’s after all a friend. You disliking her intensely shouldn’t affect your friendship with her.

Blog’s Advocate: You write a fiction fragment. You know, shift details about a bit. Not only do you get to vent, you also get a lot of comments.

Voice in Head: She’s not stupid. She’ll know. I mean the fiction fragments are moderately readable. She knows me better than just assuming that the larger circumstance in the fragment is really fiction. Aaarrggh!

Blog’s Advocate: Tell you what, you write one of your poems. That friend of yours probably skips them anyway. Better still, put up a random photograph with it. Nobody will notice.

Voice in Head: You mean nobody reads my poems? Hemph!
