Ennis or Jack? Which one did you identify with more?

(Is that possible or recommended?) But I keep running into Ennises and getting entangled with them. Where are all the Jacks hiding??
:P

Well, Jack needed Ennis just as much as Ennis needed Jack.
I don't think another Jack would make you feel whole.
Actually, you are lucky to be surrounded by all us Ennis'! ;D

I suspect you're right, dang it. But it sure would be nice to try if I ever ran into a Jack once in a while way out in the middle of nowhere!

All the writing on this site can be for more than fun and chat. It's become like journaling for me, see, I read back over what others wrote, and what I wrote too and realized how revealing our entries are. What recently is helping me, in my actual life, is to see what I wrote a while back and look at where I am now. I wrote that I was like Jack mostly, but living in an "Ennis Del Mar Like Land"... ( several entries ago).... well, I feel I am almost turning into Ennis, not like going mad, but I have become much more isolated and remote in the last year because of where I live. I know it's not good, but at least I see that now, clearly. And I will have to make changes. In fact it could be major changes.
I'm still like Jack, but I don't want the gentle, sensitive side of me to die like Jack because then all I'd have would be Ennis qualities, and the balance of the two would be missing. I say all this, knowing I'm much more and largely different from the two characters, but it's a good exercise to focus on them and see parts of one's self more clearly for doing so. I guess this entry will be a bit cerebral, even weird, perhaps, for some, but hey, I understand it perfectly! LOL
(My sense of humor is all mine!) RR

This is still a very interesting question.
Rayn, you're absolutely right that looking back on old posts can be very revealing... especially for those of us who have posted for over a year here now!
:o It would be an interesting project to go back and read each and everyone of my posts (someday... if there were ever enough time to do such a thing...). I always find it funny when I come across an old post of mine that I completely disagree with now (or at least an old post of mine that I feel like arguing with). I'm sure many of us have grown and changed a lot over the last year or so.
Anyway, I'm still like Ennis in my status of being a loner quite a lot these days. This is mostly my state of being since moving to Pittsburgh two years ago and starting a job that consumes tons of my energy. I think I probably come across a lot like Jack because I think I have a pretty optimistic personality. I'm not as fearless as Jack... and I wish I could be more that way.

Never enough time, never enough.

When I read through old threads, I often fail at first to recognize posts of mine. I'll just read the words and think, "Hmm, that's an interesting idea," or "What?! No way!" Then I'll look closer and see that I wrote it!
