Having a 21st century moment

Jan 08, 2010 09:55

Since I don't read my journal very often, and I have a crap memory, these sorts of epiphanies happen every once in a while. To wit: I really let it all hang out here, don't I? I just logged out and looked over my journal, and hell, I talk about all kinds of personal stuff. Part of me is like, wow, cool, my very personal and articulate self is out ( Read more... )

I keep myself open - if I hide parts of myself then people don't really like me, just some manufactured image. Might as well get a douche-car if I don't care if my friends like the real me.

I'm not sure who you are but I like the way you write.

Do you have my dream car? I picked it out on the street when I was 11. A 1977 Corvette Stingray. It was the color of a Barbie doll's skin.

You're about my age :) I remember the stingray with the curvey thingys. I usually say 76 but I probably can't actually tell one from another.

I don't actually have a dream car though. I like pretty cars, but it's not really my thing - I drive a 10-year old civic.

Yeah, I have some similar thoughts but then realize nearly everyone younger than me has posted their whole adolescence/20's etc online, so I need to chill a bit. But some of the stealth/or not comes into play should anyone at work come along .....
