whadda you chat about over your coffee?



I've been told numerous times throughout my life that when I talk, I talk about a lot of crap, for lack of a better word, but that which sums up what the person (s) each time was meaning.





It's something that has stuck with me. I can recall almost every incident of who, when and where it has been said. Usually a passing comment from someone lurking in the background as I've nattered away to a friend on the phone (before I got all techno and then  became phone phobic I used to talk ALOT on the phone).





I can understand what they mean, cos I guess I do, talk about crap. Take this blog for example, as it was said to me yesterday, it's about nothing. and it totally is.





What do non crap talkers talk about?




What do interesting bloggers blog about?



Pondering....

Interesting that someone who professes to want to write and communicate has been told this over and over again! hmmmm



Is there a reoccurring sentence in your existence that stings a little, unintentionally, each time? or am I over sensitive?

I have read this blog post, and I have attempted to comment several times, but the words just keep coming out wrong, so now I'm just here to say, I have read it, I have REALATED to it and now I am commenting on it.

(who's talking crappily now!!!) lol
I love your blog too... This you already know though.

count it all joy said...

If it's "crap" you're talking about, then I guess it must be pretty spot-on "crap" because I love reading it and your friends obviously love listening to it. Perhaps one person's crap is another's GOLD!

Your blog is about nothing???!!! Now that really is crap. Stop listening to that person immediately.

Big crappy hugs to you,Meredy xo

Cat said...

I am okay with that!

So you better keep on writing it and know that there are lots of us out here who love reading it!!
And I loved your comment about phone phobia (hehe thats Me!!!!)

Flower said...

I dig your crap. It's real crap not superficial crap. & your not superficial either, I'm often told I'm too abrupt! Hmmmm life! P.S one handed boobfeeding typing = lots of bad spelling & typos....Soz

Jennifer said...

Well take heart - the show Seinfeld was about 'nothing' and look how successful they were! I think it is refreshing when people blog about everyday life, nothing too structured... you have great perspective, I love reading what you have to say.

Rebecca said...

We all lovvvvvve your blog!!

Laura said...

Seinfeld had a hit show about "nothing".

Enough said.

We all talk about crap. Crap is important. Crap is what make us who we are. Embrace and love your crap. Crap makes the world go round.

and really..these people who makes theses comments? They are just full of crap :-)

Elizabeth said...

Haha - all of the above... I talk 'crap', I write 'crap' and I read 'crap'! And I love it...

Keep writing, and keep being you and ignore the others...

Gail said...

Chuck your crap my way, any day. Ha! I'm the biggest crap spinner (not maker ;) ) ever. Coffee is never simple.
