I have started a new and bizarre habit. I wake up in the middle of the night, go down two stories to my computer, turn it on and erase the last post I did. This has happened maybe 5 or 6 times in the past month. And almost every time it has happened Os has been one of the people to comment, meaning he's seen the post, taken the time to say something and then the next time he comes by it's gone. I really can't explain it. Maybe it's like those people that eat in their sleep and wake up covered in crumbs and wrappers. Well no, I guess it isn't, because I'm awake.

Don't erase this!

I have gotten up in the middle of the night and erased posts before, but usually they were posts no one would care about anyway. With you I suspect we'd all like to have seen the posts.

You're doing drive-by commenting, aren't you? And yet still you're funny. I should learn to do that. I can't write less than a small book before I'm through. Just look at how long this is. All I want to say was the first part, just that first sentence. What's the deal that I can't just do that?

huh, maybe when i have internt at home (soon!!) i'l do that too...we'll see..

anyway i wanted you to know that my post title was a tribute to your blog's name but i don't think many people will make the connection. it just popped into my head and wouldn't leave...

i have gotten into a similar habit - i obsessively edit my posts about twenty times before i'm satisfied enough to leave them alone. and the stupid thing is, i'm only changing little things like punctuation.

I was beginning to develop a complex. But I'm glad that I've gotten to see them! (sort of implies that I come over her 20 times a day, doesn't it?)

I've never quite understood why you've been taking them down (well, maybe one of them), but who are we to demand that they stay up?? Do what you need to do. If nothing else, you're getting a little exercise going up and down the stairs!

I was wondering about you! LOL

That's ok ~ we're all a little bit nutty.

Ooooh. I do that sometimes only I don't post posts, I write them, read them, then trash them.

Outburst said...

I was gonna tell you to stop doing that, but hell, I've done it myself.
And sometimes, pissing people off, really makes me happy.

Zoeyjane said...

i think my problem is that i don't do that enough - maybe i should look to you for blog-erasure-inspiration.

Leesa said...

I do that alot too :)

I need to start reading your blog late at night just so I don't miss anything.

Perhaps Os would be nice enough to start a "Binsk's Deleted Posts" blog.

Sooo... *scratching head* you're awake when you delete them? I don't get it, what's wrong with being perfectionist?

The Hatleyman said...

I saw it too, but I thought I was going Bipolar or something. Thanks for making us feel like crack heads....LOL

I heard that "sleep deleting" was a growing disorder, but until now I'd never known someone to have done so . . .
