Revisiting the past
Out of a combination of morbid curiosity and reminiscence I have started wading through past entries. Apparently I was quite prolific in 2009 and earlier. So far I have stopped at the end of 2008.
It is unfortunate that many of the links and pictures are gone.
It is also unfortunate that with two exceptions, I have zero contact with any of the people who, at the time, seemed to be so central to me existence, and how by 2015 had shown me that they were in actuality not worth the paper they were printed on. In their defence, I am certain their opinion of me has equally soured, especially once they discovered that I have a low 'pain threshold' for bullshit and hypocrisy.
Eventually I want to get back to 2004, when I wrote several lengthy entries for my trip to Boston for the 2004 World Con. I know it will cause memories of Kat to resurface, but after all this time I have zero feelings, and the realization I made a good call. I put up with much more BS for a longer amount of time than I was originally aware. I wish her no ill, but telling me at the time she couldn't see me because one of her cats was lonely should have caused a much greater reaction out of me than it did.
Maybe re-reading these entries isn't such a good idea after all...
