there's no i in nternet

Originally, i was treating this blog as a way to put my silly poems on the internet. I didn't want to post anything that i didn't think of as "writing." That went out the window almost immediately, in substantial part because i don't take my "writing" very "seriously." Increasingly, recently, other people read the nonsense i post (or at least, i increasingly know about it; i think it's a relatively recent occurrance). I, increasingly, recently, read other people's journals, due to that dad-blasted friends page, and the fact that i miss you (you personally). Due to these two dovetailing causes, i have at this point ceded entirely to writing a "journal," which i initially wanted very much not to do, because it makes overwhelming sense to do so, communicatively speaking. It has also been vividly illustrated to me what a delightful piece of art a journal can be, whether entirely prose or otherwise (i'm looking at you, heathen-girl and exploded-boy), so i don't feel that my original ambition (essentially, to create something moderately artful and reasonably pretty) is countered by this shift of perspective.

So, what did i do today?? I made this momentous, life-changing decision of course!! And then i slaved for 194 hours on this tiresome declaration of it!!!! god my life is amazing
