So many posts, so little time

Help! I think I'm turning into rose_garden.

Not really, but eegad! Have I ever posted 3 times in three hours? Or five times in 24? This can't be healthy.

My posting frequency is a function of the time I spend in close proximity to a computer. So if spending time near a computer is unhealthy, then it's unhealthy for it's own reasons, independent of this particular website.

But one could also spend lots of time in close proximity to a computer without posting. Yes, spending lots of time close to a computer is unhealthy. But it's more unhealthy if you happen to be posting to livejournal a lot while you're close to said computer.

Either you are kidding in a medium that doesn't transmit the right tone, or you are questioning my mental health,

which would be quite offensive.

Therefore I hope you will reconsider your statement.

I wasn't aware that keeping a journal was either a symptom of or a cause of mental health problems.

I'm very much kidding. I'm not at all the obsessive type, so when I do something like post in LJ way too much, it's a sign that something is wrong with me ;) I'm sorry if comparing you to something about me came across as condemning; what's right for one may be wrong for another, and vice versa.

I'm generally the joking-around type; if I'm trying to be serious, I'll do what I can to make it extremely clear.

It's cool. I was practicing my serious tone.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. One way to tell my serious tone is that it's actually good, helpful advice, and it seems like it makes sense.

Of course, that last sentence may not have been serious.

I don't think I've ever encountered your serious tone. With or without that description.

There's very much something to be said for this. But no, if someone is actually in need of advice/consoling/etc., I'll be serious and helpful. But I think that the best medicine for most situations is to laugh at oneself, so I tend to kid more than is probably wise.
