Live Weblogger journal
So what's with this whole blog thing anyway?
Why do I do this and who is it for? I wouldn't dare call this a journal because anything I would write in a journal I would most certainly not make available to the whole world. But if it's not a journal... A web log? A log of what? When I think of a log, I think of those charts in the bathrooms at Walmart that keep track of who last cleaned the toilets or replaced the paper towels. No, this is not a log.
Maybe I was wrong about the whole journal thing. Maybe what I think of as a journal is really a Diary. And this is like a public Diary-- a journal. Stuff that's not so private that it has to be hidden under my mattress, but not so important that I have to tell every person I see. Grrr, why do I bother...
So yeah, I'm pretty sure you are in my class, right? Who else would be reading this? I mean, I have totally been reading your blog, so don't get all freaky on me. I'm probably the only one who has written a jillion entries. I'm such a nerd.
Below: Where are the others? I think I should transfer to some obscure midwest christian college.
"I want to walk through the galleries of the renovated MoMA and hear your comments on this piece or that.
I want to find that little diner just off broadway and eat a bowl of soup with you.
I want to get lost in Central Park again with you.
I want to take the subway to china town and take you back to that great italian dessert shop on mulberry st.
I want to sit in a broody cafe in soho and write poetry, real honest to goodness poetry as you sketch the world around us.
I want to teach you chess on a cement bench in the middle of some tree lined park.
I want to take the train home late at night with your head asleep on my shoulder."
One of these days. Libby
