i mean i was just writing regularly, using terms i normally use, voicing what i was thinking that afternoon probably while waiting for one of my shows to finish loading, and while typing that it occurred to me that i didn't feel any less excited about nov 16-23...
that's why i ended by saying precisely that - "it'll be the same blast"
i wrote in the way i did because that was exactly what i had been talking to daryl about in between chem and econs papers... we used those terms, we talked about the ppl in the exact contexts that i've talked about in the post...
so no, i don't think i was label-whoring, i don't think i was writing anything different from what anyone else would write...
my posts are my thought processes translated into words the best way i know how...
i enjoy knowing my blog is read, as i have done so for the past 5 years, and i like knowing that the ppl who i talk about know what i say about them or ppl we know in common...
i'm not too sure what i'm trying to drive at here...
i mean i know i didn't start off on the right foot when the year began...
and i've explained in at least two posts so far why it felt strange for me to do anything more than i've already done...
and yeah, i guess i do hope and know that it'll be better, particularly 'cos we're in it for the long haul, till the end of next year...
i'm not one to categorize or to use labels...
but i've known how things work for a much longer time...
i made it my business to know, and i was pretty damn good at it...
so i guess what i'm driving at is that i said what i said because that was what i thought, and like with all i've said in the years of blogging, i hardly take it back or anything...
thanks though, i guess it was necessary for someone to bump me on the head (in blog terms we call that tagging) and vocalize what you probably thought for a long time now...
i'm glad there was a chance for that to be said, and if that be the only purpose (other than of course usual blogging needs) my post served, then i'm content...
to answer the question, i doubt anyone of us has become better people, don't you think?
but in any case, what would life be without the hallmark of suburbia...
desperate housewives much,
John.
