I'd just like to say that I don't like whatever the default font is for blogs. Verdana? Ariel? Whichever, whatever, I don't like it. And it's down there in my bottom pane.

If this works, I'm probably gonna cry. If it doesn't, I -know- I'm gonna cry.

forgot how damnably, irritatingly -slow- NS4.xx is about letting what you type show up on the screen! Gah...

I promise to stop whining now. Honto ni.

It worked. It actually worked!

I now must apologize for every unkind thought I've had about NS.
But it's still not my proprietary browser.

And I'm not crying, just in case you cared.

When I kept a diary, I wrote it just like this... It was basically an open letter to I don't know who... My future self, maybe. I don't know why I'm perpetuating that format here, except that it works. I guess it's kind of like the bit in You've Got Mail where Katherine Kelly is writing and says something about just wanting to send her question out into the void.

I often feel the same way. I've got all these questions, but I don't know anyone that would know the answer, so I just want to send them out into the great void of the WWW and see what comes back to me. So far, I've met three teriffic people just by hanging out and sending my stuff into the ether... I hope that my luck continues. I love you guys. And Scrubby? You're at the top of the list.

Yeah, I swapped names around. What can I say? I really, -really- like the phrase 'pocketwatch romances'. I don't know what it means, but I like it.

Okay. About Patrick Norton, Alex Wellen, Trent Reznor, Matthew Perry and a host of other people...

It's weird. I know that zillions of people gush over their favorite celebs without so much as a single degree rise in temperature... Hell, girls unabashedly squeal over how hot *NSync, The Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees, or other boy-band members are all the time. So why do I feel so silly admitting that I think the aforementioned guys are pretty darn cute?

It's not like I like them -solely- because I find them attractive; after all, I didn't even know what Reznor looked like until after I'd been listening to his music for a while. Matthew Perry was funny in Three To Tango, which was the first place I ever saw him actually acting. (Everything else I'd seen him in consisted of still pictures in magazines... I've never really been interested in watching Friends, not even for him.) I liked him in The Whole Nine Yards, too, though I'd like to see him play something besides a nebbish, nerdy 'little' guy. (I don't know why his characters give me the impression of being little/small...)

Patrick Norton is a lot like Matthew Perry -- solid-looking, with a cute face. And Alex Wellen is a little more like Reznor -- kind of...elfin, or something. But why I think they're lovely is not a point -- we know that. It's the fact that I don't want to tell people that. Or that I'd like to be able to mention it (at the appropriate time and place, of course) without feeling.... I don't know. It's not guilty, it's just... Out-of-place, or something. I just feel -strange- about it and that's that. Hmmph.
