Too Much Time Online

Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.

I got the speech again. You know THE speech. “You’ve been sitting in front of that computer all afternoon.”
Yes, mom. That’s because the computer is interesting. 🙂
I could sit downstairs for three hours listening to adults talk about jewelry, clients, and somebody’s apartment renovation, but somehow THAT would count as a productive use of my time. I was fixing the links page anyway, so it’s not like I was just sitting here doing nothing. I added some science stuff, a few sites I actually like, and H.’s page, even though she keeps saying hers is ugly.
It is a little ugly.

Obviously I’m not telling her that. LOL. I also found this ridiculously good astronomy page and somehow lost about an hour reading about stellar evolution when I was supposed to be doing something else. I can’t remember what the something else was, though, so clearly it wasn’t that important. School starts soon, and I’m trying VERY hard not to think about it. New school. New people. The usual social nightmare where everyone decides exactly who everyone else is within approximately twelve minutes.

Can’t wait!!!

Mom has people over tonight, and I can smell her perfume all the way from my room. She’s wearing Angel again. There are glasses clinking downstairs, and somebody has laughed REALLY loudly about five times already. I’ve decided I’m staying up here until the coast is clear.

[EDIT 11:46PM]
H. just called to inform me that I spelled something wrong on the About page.
I hate her. Fixed.

.NO CLUE.

Why?

Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
