Ignore the dateline; I'm writing again. For a few months I scribbled excitedly in composition books, keeping a steady hand of all-caps letters. In some cases I wrote rather well; in others, I wrote like Elizabeth Wurtzel on a good day (which is to say, I wrote very poorly). There's something wonderful about writing on paper as opposed to typing on a keyboard. The former seems more fulfilling and tangible, while these words now come forth too quickly, without judicious editing.
It has been a strangely social year thus far. They say the even years are the better ones, and so far 2002 has turned out to be a real humdinger. I am working on some projects, one or two of which should be in this space shortly. I want to learn CSS—not in the rinkydink fashion that was sufficient in 1999, but in a way that allows this page to look pretty and function efficiently. The next two weeks promise travel and friends and a new abode, but by the time I turn twenty-four (!) there should be something worthy here. Taking a break is sometimes the best way to find excitement in the old.
