I need a mode...

Wow. It's been almost a month since I've written here. I have to say that I'm not sure what to write about anymore. I haven't discovered any one particular mode of writing that I would call mine. I'm probably the most comfortable just writing what I'm thinking, like diary or journal format, but most of that remains private in my hand-written journal. I do like to tell stories in metaphors sometimes, though they only work up to a certain point before the metaphor no longer fits the actual situation. I have also gotten more into (extremely) free-form poetry lately, though I have not shared very much of it. So far, most of it is either really silly or very intimate and personal. I'm just not sure what to write about and how on here. I want to be able to share stories and moments, but I don't usually think to watch for such moments so that I can capture them in words. I thought about sharing my experience in the chair of torture (at the dentist's office), but I never did. I really hate dentists. Well, the people themselves are usually ok, and many of them are actually really nice..... but man I hate dentists. I absolutely dread appointments with the dentist. But anyway, I don't know what kinds of moments to share and how. Little things catch my interest and cause me to smile, but I don't know how to describe those things and engage another's interest in them. That's something I'd like to work on.
(and maybe I'll share a really ridiculous poem thing I wrote shortly before my last post.... if you want...)
As I am basically rambling at this point, I'm going to end this post, and hopefully come back sometime soon with something real to write.
