I am being dreadfully narcissistic today. I have spent a fair chunk of time going back and reading some of my older entries, laughing, and thinking, "Hey, I'm kinda funny sometimes."
This trip down memory lane has been sparked by my new foray into the wonderful world of Diaryland banners. (Do me a favor -- if you happen to see some lightning glowing in a little banner, give it a click and make me think that someone is actually paying attention to it.) So I got started thinking about the kinds of things a new reader could expect upon reading a random Fulminous Diary Entry (FDE). About all I could come up with was "A lot of black and grey" and "very few apostrophes," as the tenor of what I write seems to vary pretty widely from day to day. Call it "unpredictable," call it "keeping things fresh," call it "being a huge spazzface," if you like.
I do feel a little spastic when people read my first week or two of entries. At least knowing those FDEs exist reminds me never to write things when I am depressed -- they are invariably embarrassing later.
On an unrelated note, please remind me to refrain from killing the IT guy. He makes my teeth ache and I just want to punch him so hard so hard so hard. And despite my recent run-in with the law, there is still a world of difference between "improperly putting a trash bag in a trash can" and "improperly putting a shoe in a face."
