Have you ever found yourself in a moment where you're at both extremes? I've had too many of them. I'm in one most of the time.
After a while, you sort of give up on caring or trying.
Then, there's that one little thing that catches your interest. That thing that tells you that you should continue to care. It usually is a thing that doesn't have a lot of meaning.
I usually have a tonne of ideas flowing through my head, but rarely do I follow through on one. Tonight, I started and got a product out of my little LiveJournal mangler. That's a project that's been in my head for over a year. Tonight, I just sat down and started bashing out some Perl.
I hate writing code, but at the same time, when I get interested in it, I love to do it. That ambivalency is the reason I don't do very much of it, and when I do, it's in bursts.
I have the same ambivalence with love and relationships, but I haven't found the little thing that inspires me to care. But I don't want to get into that right now, because I don't want to be sad right now.
