A kid of a loan officer was hanging out with us at QLF since her dad had to work for a bit longer, and I tried to distract her with some internet games/web sites. I don't even know what kids watch on tv. She said she was 8, and I was asking if she still watches NickTV or Cartoon network or whatever. I felt so stupid -- "You watch Kim Possible? Spongebob?"
Made me feel older.
Another thing...
Well, it's not like I spent a lot of time with girls growing up, and I didn't really go to the beach with my friends. The only time I spent hanging with girls in swimsuits was the swim team.
The point is that two-pieces went from "the stuff that the older kids wore" to "the stuff that the skinny girls wore" to "the stuff that everyone wears." I can't imagine seeing Kate, or any female contemporaries of me wearing a one-piece, but I don't remember that point where one-piece went from normal/reserved style to psh-ah-whatever-wtf-are-you-wearing-that-style.
Made me feel older, but still youthful.
Happy belated Bday Jonas. Turning 29 -- wow. Just like when Alex's friends went "wtf" when I showed that I was 21, wow at Jonas turning 30 next year.
reading blogs isn't fun anymore.
I don't know if it's because there are no quality blogs that are frequently updated, or that I'm not close enough to anyone who frequently updates. I do recall being an LJ whore during my freshman year, while I still maintained contact with a bunch of Kate's friends, and that seemed to be the primary method of constant communication between the group.
After a while, that fizzled, and those LJs died out. Edgar's is on and off, but right now its back on, and I have to say that over all these years, he's been the most dynamic. Joe maintains a great set of bloggage, and I remain jealous.
What is interesting about one's blog? I know that long entries/long paragraphs tend to turn off the reader (does to me). Intimate daily details seem to only be interesting to the blogger. Random thoughts can be interesting, but cyclic or not exactly connecting with the blogger.
Do I write for myself, or for the audience? A combination of both really.
Lyrics are an important part of blogging, but since I skip over other's lyrics, I'm sure many would skip over mine that are longer than two lines.
I feel like deleting mp3s, but I know that in 6 months, I'm going to want to listen to X song, which I had, but don't anymore for said reason.
I want to make more money. Where does it all go?
