I’m supposed to be relating all sorts of details from this weekend right now, as per request of several real-life readers. It’s funny, because i first installed a blog on my page just to have a place to lay down random thoughts, and now it’s become a clearinghouse for the emotions i (c/w/sh/)ouldn’t ever say to someone’s face. And, that wasn’t ever really my intention, but in a way it’s turned this from a random whiney websight into some sort of insidious emotional tool. And every tool is a weapon if you hold it right, but in this case i’m just not sure what sort of grip i’ve got on it….

Let me tell y’all a story. Boy meets girl. Boy thinks girl is adorable but doesn’t say a word, because he never says these things (in person). Girl reads boy’s website and then asks him if he wants to do something over break. Boy leaves the state, and doesn’t get to see girl at all when he returns (not realizing she lives a stone-throw from his own house). Boy falls madly in love with someone else, and stops thinking about girl as much as he had been. Girl goes on with her life and starts dating a really sweet guy. Boy falls madly out of love. Boy and girl meet again four months later, and they realize they missed their chance one or two too many times for their own good. They hold hands for a while and then say goodnight. The end.

Um, don’t be alarmed if Uprush disappears for a week or two sometime soon … due to my fucked-up finances right now i might miss the hosting bill for this month, as alluded to earlier this week. In connected news, i might be paying for the new Ani DiFranco album with nickels and dimes on Monday, since i am suffering from a severe lack of actual cash. Shit, this is starting to feel like some fucked up real-life game of Monopoly … and Amy kicked my ass at that…

I meant to mention this weekend: the sudden departure of RiotHero is not only jarring (after all, he is a blogging icon) (he’s mentioned in the instructions on how to set up blogger, for godsakes), but it’s also sort of sad. I honestly haven’t read him for a few months now, but i still check in from time to time and was shocked to see his departure message on Friday. I spoke with Mark briefly over the weekend and he didn’t sound mad or distraught or anything. I suppose he just ran out of things to say in the manner he was saying them. Anyhow, despite issues i may have had with him in the past, Mark is always going to be a part of the history of blogger, and i wish him well in his further endeavors.
