times a changin’

Ennui — A. @ 12:54 am

I don’t know why, but I had some strange compulsion to go on MySpace tonight. I am not really friends with many of the people that I am supposedly MySpace friends with.

I feel like I should put new pictures up… redesign my page to look all cool. But fuck that.

I’m sick of putting on a show to attract people. My interests are there, and they should speak for themselves. Besides, Facebook is the new black anyway. In that vein, I’m also kind of sick of it. I mean I like the whole status updates thing but it that is basically a ripoff of Twitter. And now MySpace has applications too… all this inevitable feature creep and feature bloat just makes me sick of the whole concept.

So then came my urge to see who I really was friends with, and I stumbled upon Joe’s profile again. I often think about him and wonder like what happened to him, and was all in this whole “I should send him an e-mail” mood, so I did.

I can’t even remember the last time we talked…it must have been back when I was dating Adrian.

So I got my algebra test back today, and kept staring at it for about five minutes.

Algebra.

All of my answers were right, the only points I got marked down were for imprecise answers where I forgot to write a plus minus symbol or I forgot to include the “i” that was written on my scratch paper.

Crazy shit.

After I got home, I worked with my mom on her website for a long time. We made a lot of progress, it’s nearing completion. I watched Tin Man for the rest of the night… the sorceress lady looks exactly like Jeffree Starr, which was mildly creepy but I loved all the steampunk stuff, especially the vinyl outfits that the people down the factory were wearing.

At about 9 PM, Sam called me and apparently he was downtown. So I went down there and we ended up only hanging out for like 20 minutes before they all went home, but I got my jacket back. I hit Safeway on the way back and finally did what I’d been meaning to do for a million years, make a vanity Safeway card that prints my name out as “Hiro Protagonist.”

After that, I went home, watched part three of the movie, and started on High-Rise again. I <3 that book. Speaking of it, I should bang out another chapter before I have to go to sleep.
