Continuing on yesterday's idea....
Isnt it nice to sometimes be proved wrong by the world?
First (or earlier) impressions arent always fully accurate.
Who would think that being proved wrong could feel so good!

Uno nunca se cansa de hablar de si mismo
A ver...
Ive been thinking about what the appeal of blogging is versus writing in a paper journal. I for one love the crispness of a new journal ( and collecting them yiiikes) and the satisfied feeling of accomplishment when I look back on past hand written entries. But writing or typing online is freeing and feels less committal. Almost like a passive way of being aggressive with our feelings and opinions without doing anything too drastic...
As of late, Olive and I have been discussing something that Im sure people our age probably consider quite often. Statements, semi permanent ones about who we are, how we funcion as people. It would be ideal if we could find a way to summarize how we think, react and deal, even better if we could sum it up in a catchy three line paragraph in our 'About Me'. But I am finding out these can only exist honestly for a certain amount of time before they spoil. Though we might feel embarrassed when we catch ourselves enjoying that food we swore we hated, or silly when we look back on those all or nothing statements about who we are, remember that no matter how hard we try there is no way that we can sum ourselves up in three sentences or even a long paragraph.
But wouldn't you prefer it that way?
I know I do.
