I Don’t Live Here Anymore
Wow, after ten years, it really seems like I’ve run out of words here.
I lost my idea notebook the other day and, while I’d like to use that as an excuse for being out of words, that’s not really it. Actually, I’ve probably written more in the two or three days since losing it than in the more than eighteen months of recording stray thoughts in it. Thoughts, incidentally that never made it out of that notebook and into any other form. Sort of was defeating the purpose of keeping a notebook, wasn’t it?
So, now, the question is, what to do next?
I don’t seem to be doing too well writing here, do I? And I’m certainly not writing anywhere else, so, what to do? I suppose, out of habit, I’ll keep trying to write here, though God only knows about what. After ten years, it’s almost impossible to stop writing here altogether. Maybe if I can get back in the habit of it, the words won’t seem so hollow and shallow and wrong. Maybe something will eventually ring true.
Or not.
Sweet Jesus, I thought I’d outgrown all this angst as a teen-ager.
Well, maybe next year.

Hi, Fi! See, this is what I mean. I’m so disconnected from this blog that I hardly even respond to comments from faithful readers any more! Oh, for the days when I had so much to say that I wrote here every day…
Ah, well, I suppose that’ll change eventually, too.

Maybe you just need to refresh the site to get your interest back. I’ve always disliked the barcode titles – they make it hard to read the actual title, and the Netware ring is so dead that it’s hardly worth having on the page anymore. Maybe try something like the Comicpress theme and do a picture and a short post every day?
I’ve had your site bookmarked for years, and I check it at least once a week, so it would be a shame if you just let it fade away.

Well, I appreciate that you keep coming back, even as lame as this blog has gotten, especially the last few months. I think you’re right, that I just need to refresh it, and the rest of my life, a little bit. I’m sure I’ll keep posting here, since I can’t seem to stop, but maybe it’ll change a bit.
In any case, thanks for the comment.
