creeping creepily along the crevices of my computer
i am cleaning out my computer. i am finding lists of things i was supposed to do 9 months ago. there are things on these simple lists that i have not done yet. this is making me panic.
first issue: jobs: jobs are stupid: you are a worse person for not having a real job: your life is going nowhere
second issue: moving away: if you really wanted to you would have done so already: you are just as american and apathetic as everyone else: if you had gotten a real job already, you would be closer to moving
third issue: your friends: you are a fraud to all your friends: they are braver than you are: you made promises that you have broken out of apathy: they live in a different world
poll: has having your computer for 9 months improved your life?
1. i thought getting a computer would help me get a job
2. i look at more than 20 websites a day
3. i learn something new from the internet every day
4. i pay my bills online, thus negating any fee for paper cheques thus far
5. all my friends have computers, i fit in better
6. i am able to better scrutinize my ever changing musical taste
7. i get at least one email every 2 days
8. looking back upon a photo library of a year is intense
summation: looking at a year through a computer is really disturbing! i thought i forgot most of this stuff. i am happy i delete bad correspondences at will! it would be much more panic inducing otherwise!

it is scary to see pictures of yourself a year ago. it is even scarier to see pictures of you 2 years ago. i hope that all pictures of me two years ago circulating the internet disappear into the ether of memory rather than the excessivly flawed memory of digital media.
thank you.
