Tabula Rasa
~
I live back at home with my folks, work a mind numbing job at the Gap, and exist in a transitional phase which I feel will not end until I move (St. Pete?), get a good job, or go back to school. My provisional life is not bad though. In fact, the past few months have been sweet and full of all kinds of foolishness. It’s good to see my family, my dog, and a nice big bedroom adjacent to a fridge full of food, all of which were bitterly missed during college. While I yearn to spend time with the friends I made in Gainesville, there are now new people in my home life who make my routines quite pleasant. Plus I’ve been seeing close buddies and the good old college roommates on a somewhat regular basis. Not bad.
That being said, I reread some of my previous entries and realized that they come from another point in my life. It was a great time, but it’s over and I don’t enjoy my sloppy Livejournal from that period. It was written when I was a lot younger and I don’t like reading it. But I’m never one to throw away old pictures, even if I look awful in them, so I am trying to think of this as putting the old photo album in the closet and opening up a new one.
Basically, as I prepare for the next tentative stage or what have you of life, I feel disconnected from my old writings. I want to start fresh. Wipe the slate clean.
/insert other motivational cliché here
So first things first. I am writing this entry because I want to change my livejournal name. I hate this name. It was made a long time ago for reasons that I can no longer understand. Please, help me come up with a new and improved screenname. Though it’s slightly below christening a first born and marginally above giving your new rollerblades a title, just imagine how great you’d feel to click on an LJ and see something that you helped create.
Bring on the names & Bring on the jokes!
