tippin' on the tightrope.

I bought a five-dollar pair of Sentry earbuds last night to "replace" (temporarily) my faaaaavorite pair of headphones ever, a twenty-dollar pair made by Koss. These cheapies suck and I can't wait until I can more easily justify spending more than five bucks on a pair of earbuds. Haha

I dunno...I guess I started mine in college when I had a lot more free time, not a lot of friends, and was generally unhappy. Writing made me happy and took up any time I'd probably use to socialize. When I look back at my old LJs, I'm pleasantly surprised at my posts- maybe I was just better at writing then. Now when I sit down to write anything I just go blank, or, like you said, I feel weird writing about trivial things when I only update like, 3 times a year. I feel strange even telling people I have an LJ. I've tried to go on Twitter and I have a fairly active Facebook account but even putting any kind of update on those seems a bit much sometimes...I guess I'm definitely feeling a social networking backlash! There's just so much coming at you through the internet now, I just want to go outside and ignore it. But I like reading yours, for sure. I identify with a lot of things you say, and I'm glad I got to "meet" you through here.

Have fun in class! I've always been one of those shy people who don't like to participate and spend half the class hoping I don't get called on, lol. What are you majoring in? Or are you just kinda dipping our toes into all kinds of subjects right now?

Me too!

I never really let any of my "IRL" friends know I had a LiveJournal, so that aspect hasn't changed for me. Some people are still quite active here, so I don't feel embarrassed admitting to my LJ's existence most of the time. (I actually feel like MORE of a tool for having a Twitter account, lol.)

I'm glad I met you through LJ too. :) You're a cool person.

And as for school, I'm currently a human services major, but I'm proooooobably going to be changing to just liberal studies after this semester. I'm hoping to transfer to a 4-year program in either women's studies, history, or political science. I am as indecisive as ever--that's one thing that will probably never change. :D

Great userpic, by the way!
