this blog will be continued, but in two separate versions.

all the usual frivolous comments, reading notes, ramblings, wail and rant, ordinary-human-unhappiness &c will continue to be posted to both blogs; all the truly depressed and depressing bits will go to the friends-only blog. if you are close to me (you know who you are) and want to sign up for the misery, email me with a preferred id and password. if you would rather not, continue to bookmark this blog. if you don't actually know me it is just as well that you can't be on the other blog: you'll still get all the usual entries, minus the depression, and that's so much the better for everyone involved. if you decide to read the full blog, comments in the vein of "for god's sake woman are you depressed again why don't you get a grip on yourself" will not bloody be welcome: read the other one.
