So the livejournal is reborn...
I figure that keeping some sort of a diary.. no a manly thought-organizing logbook.. would pay off when I get old... as I'm in the nursery home, reliving my youth through.. Live Journal... I've been having a lot of thoughts lately, and I feel terrible about them going to waste, as I do feel like some of them deserve to be documented. A couple of nights ago, I had dinner with my boss's family, and I attempted to fill a short awkward silence at the table with a question to Scott's parents: do you ever wish you kept some sort a journal throughout your youth...? Fortunately, his answer was longwinded and he was weirded out, but my ADD prevented me from absorbing much of what he said.. or maybe I was just intoxicated and I don't remember.
I expected my that first entry that jumpstarts this whole journal resolution to be a deep one.. but I'm surprisingly blank right now. I just finished chatting with Hilary on AIM for about an hour.. which was overall kind of pleasant. She is working this summer just like I am. Being sarcastic and teasing people through text really doesn't work sometimes... They end up taking it the wrong way, and you have to explain that it was a joke.. and they "oh lol" you.. when its obviously not funny anymore after being truly disgusted/hurt by you..
Wow so far this has been pretty lame.. I think i'm just trying too hard to think of something interesting and genuine to write. One thing I'm having a tough time thinking about is whether I want the rest of these entries to be public or private. like it or not, the fact that there will be potential audience would drastically affect the material i put on this.. I feel like I unconsciously shape the content and style of writing based off of who I (unconsciously?) imagine would end up reading this.. Agh we'll see..
I"m just gonna go to bed.. I have to be at work by 8AM tomorrow to listen in on a meeting.. what a disappointing first post..
