"I am so sick of hearing people talk about the "smart people" from their old high school. Like, come on. While you were busy being blown away by some geek who could multiply large numbers in his head, my high school churned out Intel finalists like lead-filled toys from a Chinese factory, and I don't think your high school sent anyone to the G8/J8 summit to represent the United States. My high school is notorious in the academic offices of the Ivy Leagues, and at my high school an SAT score below 2300 was embarrassing.
My high school beats you in all categories: smart kids, rich kids, talented kids. Shut up about your school, it's nowhere as cool as mine." |

| I'm making you a mix tape |

Like, a real, actual digital master tape.
I'm giving it to you along with a real, actual tape deck.
It's a tape about how I feel, but here's a little preview: I love you. |

Sitting in bed, not wanting to sleep because things aren't quite right.
It was so easy to sleep back when everything was right all the time. I thought, foolishly, that that little instant could last forever.
And for some reason, everyone let me buy it, too. Maybe they were just glad I was finally happy. Simple-happy, little kid-happy, faith in the world-happy. Or maybe they, too, believed it would last.
I miss it. I don't think I've ever been that happy before and maybe I never will be again. It was so wonderful to believe.
Whatever. I'll always remember it, and tell the story. This, this is just daily life. Nobody's untouchable here. |

It might be good to have somewhere to write.
I doubt anyone checks this anymore. LJ is kind of passé.
It's also very, very late (or very early depending on how you look at it).
Maybe I should just sleep. |

Besides slave over Ubicom's code, that is...

| This iPhone would be a lot more useful... |

...if I didn't spend my entire life at the computer anyway.
Because right now, when email comes in, it arrives on the computer and the iPhone at the exact same second.
The only time the iPhone vibrates without the computer also making the "new mail" noise is when someone calls me... which is exactly what life was like before I had the iPhone.
Oh well, at least I get paid to sit at the computer all day. |
