over the past four nights, i've
managed to find my way into a community of online journalists. i've
read about 70% of 61 journals, and already know the who's who
based on what common links are
out there. one would think it was almost a clic.
in this time, i've managed to read
so much content that i believe i am having my
first, in what looks to be an addictively
never-ending saga, of identity crisises.
how did it start, you ask?
well, i was doing my tech-thing, checkin out da news
at slashdot, and bam, a link to
rachel's reinyday site. i read her. i can't be
sure if i fell in love with her,
or with the fact that i wasn't alone in my journal
keeping. unfortunately for
me, it began to seem that she was MUCH cooler than me.
so i got a bit jealous and totally
redesigned my site.
the next night i went back, and
found a link to diarist.net.
and the fun only was just getting
started.
i've now read every journal of
anyone in austin that is published as far as i can tell;
mostly accomplished this through
links of others' sites. let it be known that i put my
stalking skills to good use and
actually went on google, performing a search for
austin and diary and diarist.
and i went through those. i am a diarist's stalker.
i think most diarists take pleasure
in knowing others are reading; or when they get that quick little snippet
of mail from a fan or a fellow diarist. in the words of jack nicholson,
... wait till they get a load of me.
truth be told - i am a diarist junkie.
help.
i will say this: one of the common
things i've found is that
a) there seems to be a greater
number of female diarists
b) many, whether male or female,
claim to be vegetarian or vegan
c) many had some realy messed up
experiences.
i am happy to break the mould by
not being female :) but i am also happy to preserve b) and c).
