I sometimes randomly read through Livejournals and blogs of people I don't know. Insatiable curiousity, I suppose. But I feel like I can draw some general ideas about the world from doing that. Right now, it seems as if there is a malaise among blog writers, keepers of personal journals everywhere. People are tired and don't know what to say. I have noticed a certain rising tick of people updating abandoned blogs. I wish I had saved the addresses of some of those I read during my time in the early dot-com boom, when I would read after midnight.

I haven't been very good about writing lately. I feel sort of hollow for a number of reasons. Tired of talking even when I have things to say. Hopefully it is just some kind of phase. Right now all I want to do is watch anime I never got around to watching or something other than writing. Even doing chores seems preferable at times. Which is why I mopped the living room today and watched five episodes of Trinity Blood.

Tomorrow we're going to look for some Halloween costume stuff. I want to bake a cake. I'm trying to decide what to do about the frosting. Maybe coffee frosting. Actually, I really like that thought.

I'm glad it isn't just me. Lately I've wondered why I even bother. Starting a livejournal was my attempt to keep a diary that I wouldn't end up destroying in some manic fury of self injury. It's worked pretty well. While I've privatized some things that felt overwrought and insane years later, I haven't ever felt the urge to delete.
