Blogs and AIM and high school
I popped onto AIM last night for the first time in a long time. My friend and former suitemate Kirsten had a link to her new "blog" in her information. So, naturally, I checked it out.
It was a pretty typical blog/livejournal, but she included a poem in it that I enjoyed. I IM'd her to let her know that I thought it was good, and we ended up talking for the first time in months.
Today, her blog has an addition that says that she hates people. People are so fucking stupid sometimes, I think is the gist of what she wrote. She goes into detail about her fiction writing professor and says there's more to add. I'm wondering if there's more to add about me. I'm wondering if she's annoyed that I'm being friendly after so long.
I mean, I almost apologized last night for not being a very good friend, but I decided that I didn't need to be quite THAT cheesy. We made uncertain plans to go bowling this weekend. It was pleasant, but I'm sure she questioned my motivation for being so pleasant out of the blue.
Regardless, if she isn't complaining about me in today's blog entry, she eventually will. I know people. Besides, today's entry marked her first bitch-a-thon in the month-old blog. This reminds me of my old journal. I told people that I had a web site, because I was writing kind, superficial things. Then I started to get darker and more hurtful, and those same people were still reading. They got offended. I said I was expressing myself. Yes, it was a stupid and painful process.
Naturally, Kirsten doesn't know yet that I have a livejournal. I do, however, expect to see her blog parallel my old journal in frightening ways.
