So I have this online journal here, and you have your journal there or maybe you just look in on other people. But that guy over there, he has his journal and he gets random people to comment in it and then they become friends. And then more random people and the friends he has sense made comment and pretty soon he has a lot of comments. He must be doing something I am not. But I'm not complaining about no one commenting, I've done that before to no avail. But I am complaining (mostly), just not about that.
I'm back in Louisville and it's not that great. Dont misunderstand, I like being back in the city of my birth and subsequent 18 years but I dont know anybody anymore. I knew people in Kansas City, and I saw them all the time, and seeing them was good. So basically I'm lonely (again) and those of you that know me are saying "Then why don't you call me you jerk?!?" Perhaps even more so those of you from KC. And I will openly admit that I'm usually pretty lousy keeping in touch, but more than that in this situation is that turning my in the flesh relationships from KC into over the phone/internet "chatting" relationships is hard - we're friends and thus we are friends beyond enjoying the sight of each other but talking to you (this is no one in particular mind you) makes me want to see you which I can't do because I now have a job and can't make a quick excursion to KC on a whim, and so it's kind of saddening in a way. But I am lonely, and I want people to conect with, because sitting at home (when I'm not working) and reading books, playing video games, entertaining and feeding animals, thinking about making a clay ocarena, painting a mural, etc are all solo activities and beyond beginning to try my nerves.
So to borrow from a friend of a friend:
the problem with LJ, [is that] we all think we are so close, and [yet] we know nothing about each other. I'm going to rectify it. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.
