so.
i start a lot of these things with so.
i've been doing research on my next essay, about voyeurism. and some of the essays i've had to read are all about blogs - it's crazy that people actually research these things. the ones i write nowhere near as interesting as the ones that get studied, lol. someone vaguely important (to an extent) said that maybe i should write a personal journal instead, rather than a public one. but i said, 'what's the point of writing anything if no one will ever read it?'. i guess doing both might be a good idea. but that just takes up twice the time, if not, more.
do u ever read back on things and they don't sound anything like how they did in your head before u wrote them?
another thing u realise, if you're here for long enough, is that u've reached a point in your education where ur just learning opinion, because we don't really know anything for certain at all. i always thought the intelligent thing is to attach meaning after meaning to things that happen, and things people say and do until you come to an ultimate correct conclusion. really, the way to handle things is to not attach meaning at all, because everything is a construct we've made up anyway. a tree isn't actually called a 'tree' - 'tree' is just a word we've made up for it. how do u describe intelligence? IQ doesn't measure intelligence...it measures IQ, a scale we've made up. and how do you know that anything really means what you ever think it means?
i feel quite run down generally. it's all a bit odd.
