i rode forward of the yellow line
i have completely broken the habit of going on AIM.i have no desire to go online, but occasionally, i will try going to make appearances. and i've got to say...i am so bad at it now. for the most part, i just totally forget that i'm online. even when i'm USING the computer, i forget to click on the flashy IM on the bottom. when i'm just meandering around my room, it totally slips my mind, which leads me to make lists, travel down the hall, take a shower, get recruited for an intramural volleyball team, &c [all of which i really did today]. just now, i remembered that i never said bye to the people that i was talking to 20 minutes ago, and i scrambled to flip open my laptop only to find i had already been disconnected. oops.
so the question is, of course, how accountable do i need to be in these conversations that span time and place...these conversations that only arise out of convenience and happenstance? now, a lot of the deepest discourses i have shared have come out of this silly venue, but just the same, i have wasted many a hour waiting to finish a conversation that can find no segue to a close [whether wanted or not].
it is sad that only in such an impersonal medium are certain relationships able to thrive or even get started.

ditto to this entire entry.
although i find myself wondering why everyone else is online, so i click online to find them all away/idle. this seems a bit..."counterintuitive" sounds too academic of a word to apply in the context of a superficial bald yellow man, but yeah. it seems counterintuitive.
hmm. and then there are times when i'm like, "jen, stop thinking too hard."
college sounds fun. go volleyball! =D
-jen-
a relationship that has started online? never!
