feeling: awake
listening to: nothing
I'm posting this from Kitty's house. She's in bed and I'm wide awake. Hey, Kitty! Your keyboard sucks! :D
I dunno, I've spent the past hour or so looking at some of my LJ and blog archives and remembering how I used to post almost every day, or at least once or twice a week. I kind of miss having stuff to talk about... or feeling like I did, at least. I don't think I'll ever go back to posting that much, with entries that long, or with any kind of regularity or anything, but... um, actually, I don't have a segue from that line. I just know that I really don't see anything I experience or think about as being worth turning into a blog/journal post.
But I was actually thinking of signing up for that Twitter thing that so many people are getting into lately. It looks like the kind of thing I need to try and get into the habit of doing - just random, tiny blurbs on what I'm doing or what thought just popped into my head or whatever, as many as several times per day... the kind of thing I could do from my cell phone if I don't feel like getting to a computer (wait, did I just say that? yeah, scratch that last part...). Could be the solution to that little hankering I've had for a long time to create a journal/webspace specifically for random pointless one-liners and lots of them. I dunno, we'll see.
In other rambles... anyone remember that post sometime last year where I said I was at a crossroads? Well, I stood there too long staring bedazzled down all the possible routes, and the light turned red and now I can't move. As I suspected would happen. I think I even went backwards a little. But the light's going to stay red for a long time, so if I don't want to backtrack any further I'm going to have to either 1) start running in place to build up the momentum to take off when it turns green again, or 2) try to make a proverbial right turn on red and just hope I won't end up getting lost or plowed over. But I guess getting lost is possible no matter which way you go, isn't it? Unless you just keep traveling the same paths back and forth and in circles all your life, but that eventually digs ruts under your tires that get increasingly harder to get out of.
God, me and my dumb metaphors.
Anyway, more mundane stuff. After finishing my upstairs bathroom, Dad finally found the time to start tearing down my Toyota, and he thinks he found the problem. He also thinks it will cost three or four times as much to fix it as he originally figured it would - running up into the $1000-1200 range. It would be slightly cheaper to replace the entire engine, but apparently engines for Corollas made in that year are astronomically hard to find. And either way, since it's a 10 year old car and I don't have any immediate need for constant reliable access to it anyway (read: I don't have a job), there's the nagging question of whether any of that would be worth it at all. Especially if the route I'm hoping to follow when that light turns green again actually ends up working out... No sense banking on that, though. Like I said in the previous post, as of right now there is no future, right?
Ok, I think I'm blabbed out now. Yay! *publishes*
