pretend that you don't care for me

i really just wanted to see what time it is, and what day. it's easier to click "add an entry" than to sit and think and to swivel around in this non-swivelling chair to rubberneck and crane and peer at the clock that's dangling from the ceiling and facing the wrong way.

i've was just catching up on my buddy list and i read several entries by josey. can't you tell?

speaking of good ol' i-l-s, went to the zoo with her and "brother" and N to see j-fu play some music. little did i know that i would be hijacked into performance of music that i did not know.

like how i dropped some names there? do you wonder who all those people are? isn't it a pretty meaningless bit of fluff? okay, i guess it's not totally meaningless, and i could go on and write about it like this, "and we went and saw the catfish boiling up out of the water like a swarm of demons, stealing all the food from the vastly outnumbered (you have to say 'vastly' before 'outnumbered', it's the law) turtles, who were just too slow, and jfu left without saying goodbye", and i suppose you could glean meaning from it -- say, that i sympathize with the slow turtles who just end up with less; and that this "jfu", whoever she is, is important to me; and that lots of catfish together are pretty scary, apparently -- but then, i don't know, it's not really timeless is it? i'm not saying that i want everything i write here to be high art -- see this paragraph, for example -- but i like to be able to learn larger things from specific events, and i can't think of anything that happened at the zoo that really could be generalized into something meaningful that even a total stranger reading this could appreciate.

but then again, i didn't really try to, did i?

honestly, part of why i don't feel like writing more about the day is because it involves other people -- n, josey, j-fu -- in such a way that i would either have to speculate about them out loud and maybe give people the wrong idea, or i would end up giving away things that people might not want spread out on the internet like a thin, fatty butter.

well, overall, i think this whole entry is a mess. better luck next time, maybe.
