Dear LJ,
I find it increasingly silly to discuss the events of my life on a public forum. Not because I am embarrassed or shy, but because I have lost my ability to find said events humorous. I am still the funniest person in the world, but I find no solace in my blog at this time.
There was a period where I would get to the end of a story and feel productive, invigorated, completely drained, vulnerable, capable. I'm still writing stories in my head, but they don't make it to my keyboard anymore-- such lingering moods have yet to find a way to be explained adequately. For example, how am I supposed to discuss the compromised situation of a desperate mix between Peter-Pan idealism and embittered estrangement who balances roles as sex object, care taker, friend, teacher, deranged lover and hates the very confinements that allow her to be a social animal without reducing myself to a banality?
My main goal for the next couple of weeks is to be the very best at everything in the world. In the meantime, I want to track down Brett Anderson and have his babies.
Plan of attack roughly includes: tracking him down, seducing him over spiked coffee, making out, starting to cry, explaining to him my troubles, him giving me a hug and telling me about his exciting life as a 90s icon, sex, then fleeing the country to get married.
On a final note, my brother is actually scared that I might meet some man and get married to him after two weeks of knowing him after having already been knocked up, which I think is a great compliment.
Your friend,
GCB

Freud considered this defense mechanism the most productive compared to the others that he identified (i.e., repression, displacement, denial, reaction formation, intellectualisation and projection). Sublimation is the process of transforming libido into "socially useful" achievements, mainly art. Psychoanalysts often refer to sublimation as the only truly successful defense mechanism[citation needed].
