11:18 am: Yes, it has been awhile. Mainly because I know that maybe two people read this. And that is mainly because I haven't bothered to say "hey, people, read this!" and I don't comment on other people's entries because they might say "what the hell is SHE doing, read my LJ." So you see, my lack of participation in journal-ing and the like is a product of... lack of participation? I suppose.

But let's just say for a minute that you stumble across this. Yes, lets.

Hi, I'm Lindsay. You know that (?) And perhaps I should make a good first impression on all of you first time readers. Shall I be philosophical? Angry? Depressed? Would you keep reading if I was...?

So what am I?

...

I think I'm just ready to be over. Not as in, over COMPLETELY, as in DEAD, because that would be STUPID. But, just over with Lindsay Phase I. I want to begin Lindsay Phase II. Which would be...?

Ok, new subject. Last night I watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." A very good movie. No question. But: "Guys think I will make them more alive."

I'm nice. I'm quiet. I'm a loser. I don't make people stop and think "wow..." I wonder if someone like myself could make anyone feel more alive, without first changing everything about myself, including my hair. (Movie reference) Whatever. Enough.

10:10 pm: I'm thinking this is pointless, as very few people actually know I even have this thing, and all that.

I would like to finish my book. Reading, not writing. I would also like to someday make that same statement, and actually mean finish writing. How cool.

04:41 pm: So, what to say? Today was a day just like every other day. Except not, because I could actually come home and do NOTHING. I could sit here for the rest of the night, if I want. Oh wait, I lied. I have to read, eat, and daydream...

I really want to go shopping... not X-mas shopping for other people. Shopping for myself. Aren't I selfish?

08:59 pm: I broke down and got one of these journal do-hicks. How exciting.
