(untitled is sometimes not a witty way of symbolizing the contents of something but can just be a placeholder when you can't think of an adequate title)

All the things I want to talk about are too long/hard[1] to really write in a tired state with thirty minutes to midnight.

It's hard to think of things that are both interesting and about which you can be brief.

Of course, ask my high school teachers, I am somewhat notorious for being brief--I prefer the terms concise or succinct. I could say what I needed to say in a couple of lines or paragraphs and they couldn't really take points off because I said everything they wanted.

I wish this internet weren't so poor. It's a petty thing, really, I could be reading the ton of things I should be reading, or practicing calculus, or exploring the city. But I like some[2] things on the internet, and would like to be able to get them at a good speed.

How do you describe doing stuff on the internet? "Looking at the internet"? "Surfing the web"? "Browsing the internet"? "Interacting with the internet"? "Getting pixels and occasionally sound transferred to me from across the world"?

Four minutes shy of being late at the moment.

I like the space between the edges of the spine and the title on the cover not dust jacket of my hardcover Infinite Jest. I also like the way the letters look, it's all very nice.



  1. that's what she said.
  2. a lot of[3]
  3. even that's an understatement.

I often forsake brevity for the sake of, you know, spilling my soul and whatnot.

I have to admit that sometimes I write more than required for class because a) I want to make sure I covered my bases and b) I kind of want to show off. xD

I hope that things get better<3
