it's been a while

2004-01-24 - 1:58 a.m.

i am so super excited right now.

tonight...has been a weird night. i saw 'the butterfly effect,' and it's much darker than the previews make it out to be, yet totally engrossing. strange. and someone brought a baby to that strange, dark movie, though i only heard it cry twice.

then i got home, and ate some catfish from texas roadhouse. i made my family take me there tonight because they sometimes play country music at work, and they always play country music at texas roadhouse, so now i'm trained so that whenever i hear country music i think, 'hmmmm, rolls would be great right about now.' and the night got weird in a bad way, and my heart felt heavy, but i just ate my fish and made eyes at pip.

then i get on the computer, which is silly, because i'm on a computer the whole time i'm at work, but i want to do fun computer stuff, so i check my email, which has almost closed down from all the mail that i haven't checked in...i dunno, days? weeks? whatever.

anyway, i check my email, and hidden in the junk mail is a quick note from an old boston netgoth whom i used to attend college with. i had written to this particular person, what, years?, yes, years ago asking for the address of another particular netgoth. netgoth number one had no clue as to the address or even whereabouts of netgoth two. so i sighed, and life moved on.

now, in this shiny new note sent to me quite recently, i am informed by netgoth one that netgoth two's whereabouts are still unknown, and there is still no address to be found, but that netgoth two has a livejournal! and, i dunno, i'm just excited as crap about this news. netgoth one even generously sends me the address. so i pop on by, and there aren't many entries, and some are pretty old, but then i scroll to the top and low and behold, the last entry was made this very night, in the wee early hours of january 24, 2004!

god does this make me happy. it's my same old pal, i can tell by the mopey virgin prunes lyrics posted in the most recent entry. this person still reappears in my dreams every so often. so many memories involve netgoth number two, and now, i have this glorious internet journal to read. hell, i might even post a lil' sumthin' sumthin' on the ol' livejournal. sneaky sneaky.

hooray. i am happy. there are so many cool and interesting people whom i've lost touch with over the years, and here, out of the blue, i am given contact, bestowed upon me by the glorious wonder of the modern worldwide web. on top of that, i even got not one, not two, but three emails from london people as well! two i don't really care much about (i magically earned a place on someone's mass mailing list so now i'm privy to all their shout-outs and online kissy faces) but the other is from my gay boyfriend while i was there. he took me to my first opera, la boheme, and we saw heath ledger together. ahhh, good times, good times.

this new news of a livejournal puts a smile on my face. i must go explore more before going to sleep. sweet dreams, one and all.
