Procrastination is the name of the game
I think I'll start using my livejournal, I set up an account ages ago with the intention of doing just that, but never actually got round to it. But today I spent the afternoon browsing through old iturfers journals and I got to thinking about how much I miss the internet . . . it used to be somewhere I spent days aimlessly reading anything that caught my eye, speaking to interesting people from around the world, and getting involved in pointless arguments that could keep themselves going for months! Somehow or another I drifted away from the wonderful richness of the web and it's become somewhere I go to do admin - to check emails, renew library books, do a quick bit of research for work.
I'm not sure how that happened, and it's not something I'm particulary happy or sad about, but I do feel down when I drop by iturf and realise I don't 'get' what everyone there's chatting about. I suppose other parts of my life have grown and gotten in the way, and that's also what stops me doing something to change things. But maybe keeping a livejournal will help me get back some bad habits . . . who knows, I suppose it's worth a try.
Today I'm supposed to be doing an essay for a class in computer aided analysis, which is boring as hell and pointless. I think I've had enough of pointless essays. That's probably why I've found myself here today.
