The Internet is like an Elephant

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

The Internet is huge. I mean, the Internet is probably bigger than Earth, if you really start thinking about it. Heck, the Internet is probably more like the Universe… so amazingly big and unending (well, most of the time) and getting bigger all the time. It’s impossible to see the entire thing. It’s impossible to know where it begins and where it starts. It’s enormous.

At the same time, just like the world we live in… it’s also incredibly small (and if anyone starts singing that Disney song, I’ll cry). No really, hear me out. I was thinking about this earlier. Before the Internet, it was very easy to forget about people. Maybe later, you’ll have a fleeting thought… I wonder what ever happened to What’s-his-face?  You’d shrug, and get on with your day. You were probably busy milking cows or whatever it was we did to amuse ourselves before the Internet.

Now? I wonder what ever happened to What’s-his-face? Well, I’ll Google him.  Oh, he’s got his own website now! Hasn’t been updated in a while… so I’ll go search him on MySpace. Oh look… there he is! Man, he’s gotten cute. Really cute. Wonder if he’d still remember me after — oh, five or six years? 

Boom! Now you’re history’s right up in your face again, which could be good or bad, depending on the situation. No, nothing prompted this, particularly, besides Meli having fun with MySpace searches the other day. It’s just weird how the Internet doesn’t let you forget… both the good and the bad.

Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills

Don’t you hate those days when, like, everyone in town is in a bad mood? It was absolutely ridiculous today. I must have gotten my head bitten off by grouchy customers five or six times today, and one of our regulars went so far as to throw lettuce at me.

Oh, it’s good to be home.

Anyhow, yesterday I was seriously productive. Well, for me anyhow. All I really did was work on cleaning my room. For those of you that don’t know me quite as well, I’m usually a pretty organized person. I prefer things clean. However, around the time that Tia had her kittens, I stopped keeping my room up, and it got kind of messy. I went to PA and came back and it was messier. I didn’t have the “oomph” to clean it, so it got messier. Before yesterday, it was atrocious.

And so I spent most of the day yesterday actually cleaning my room. Today I’ll vacuum and put away all of the things that aren’t on the floor (like on my desk and dresser and shelves). Later on, I think I might try and do some things to make my room more interesting. Seriously… my room is really boring.

I took before pictures and I’ll probably take after pictures, but I don’t think I want you all to see my messy room, so I’ll probably refrain from posting them!

Weird Dream

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

I had this crazy dream last night that all of these people I know/knew started showing up at work. The scary thing is that almost every one of these people are connected to my current or past life by some kind of bad event or bad memory. There were two people I didn’t mind being there at all, but then people came in who were distinctly bad memories/experiences for them as well. It was the weirdest dream ever.
