Damn.  I should've spent the last 8 years writing about my life as it was happening instead of the thoughts I was thinking.  I mean, I've always taken pride in the past in not posting too much about my personal life online, instead being the more abstract and imaginative, but looking back on it now, versus going back and reading more personal entries about life and love and drama, it's a letdown.  These aren't the stories that made me.  These thoughts have been the steam that drifted weightlessly off of the crunching, smashing, burning, toiling engine underneath.  I should've been exposing the paradoxical tootsie roll center rather than philosophizing about technology and making fun of other people.  I mean, I go all the way back to 1999, and earlier except that my first diary on diaryland got deleted by the creator because I pissed him off.  And after him I started pissing off the "A-list bloggers" who I was actually just jealous of because they had a bigger audience than me.  Haha, now I'm reliving some of that nostalgia.  Lele started it all with drunkgirl.  Remember that?  Our beginnings are barely remembered by the way back machine.

Maybe it's a moot point.  I spent so many years in a zombie state, maybe there was no tootsie roll center to write about because I had lost it.  But it would be nice to have something to go back and read with any sense of emotional attachment.

So maybe I'll start writing about life a little more now.  Now that it's interesting, and weird, and full of change.  It's the all-new no advice column.  This is your warning, defriend me if you want to get off on this stop.  Ha.

A parallel task will be to go back and read all of the archive of people who I love, like, admire, or am curious about.  This includes a lot of you.  So go back and lock down or open up filters, however you desire.

Listening to Wilco, reading old entries (both mine and Kellianne's... hers go way back to 2001 and are fascinating... matching up what she was doing when I was doing other things), thinking about art and what I want to make, drinking tea and coffee, eating cereal for every meal, reformatting hard drives, making lists, daydreaming, being nostalgic for parallel pasts, for the things we learned and experienced that made us how we are today, excel spreadsheets, feeling good will for pretty much everyone around me, looking at the window and how the rain makes little slashes of rain across it at 80 degree angles, and how the sun peeks out, jumping rope, doing laundry, crossing things off lists, taking short walks to a coffee stand and back, having long IM chats with people all over the country, deciding that I'm against Against Love, there's only time for being for things, coaxing the cat to sit in my lap, to dance in front of the mirror, to curl up in a little ball next to me.  I've been doing this for two days, and wanna do it tomorrow too.  Something's brewing in my subconscious and I just wanna let it steep.  In fact, I don't mind if it steeps forever.  It's lazy and comfortable and exactly how I wanna feel right now.
