Weak End
  Let's all be quiet and depressed.
11:17 pm
    --- These days, I just don't feel depressed much (I think). I used to. If you go back into my paper journal from around 7th grade, pretty much every other entry was something like "I feel terrible, nobody likes me, I am all alone in a crowded room." Then if you skip ahead to 8 or 9th grade, it's "I feel terrible, I hate everyone, they're all narrow-minded, shallow, and afraid of each other." After that it's pretty much all: "I feel terrible, I will never be close to anyone, you can't trust anyone because people can't even trust themselves. The world has no reason for existing."

    ---Now I feel nothing. I don't know what mood I am in right now. If I am depressed, I don't know it, and I don't know why. Have I turned insensitive? It must have been very recently, because I can remember feeling very depressed not so long ago. And angry, sorry, etc. Must just be today, then. Maybe the lack of sleep this week. Maybe getting too much sleep today. I woke up at 7 pm today.

  Green and White

    --- I may be coming close to a working design here. The goal is to make a journal page format which isn't annoying to look at, which is readable on many different browsers, which will load quickly. Another plus would be for everything in it to scale to the size of the browser window. You can never tell what crazy things people will do with their browsers. At work, they want to get around this problem (on the Hawaii Online home page) by having the main page open another window (via javascript) which cannot be resized. The word "Irritating" comes to mind as not completely irrelevant. They also want to add sound. Music, actually. I wonder what song they were thinking of adding. I will suggest "More and Faster" by KMFDM:
    More and Faster, here we come
    White & Trashy & incredibly dumb!
    Yah. I have quoted that song before. It reminds me of the internet.
  Why you don't know

    How about a stream of consciousness? okay.
    open (CONSCIOUSNESS, /brain/dev/cua0);
    while(<>) { print };
    
    Click. Time is limited. do I know what I am doing now in most efficient way possible can't stop to think must think without stopping can't wait for anyone else to catch up need to get there at my favorite pace. Regardless of age race or creed all of them are proving their worth and lack of meaning. You can't label something unless you know all the ingredients. You can't put a title on something until it is no longer useful. What use would it be to end this purpose at this point. All purposes have zero value and thus are equal. All men are equal. All zeroes are equal. How can a person expect to be taught anything that they do not already know. The only way to learn things is by ignoring them until you already have become familiar with every facet.
    close (CONSCIOUSNESS);
    I don't have a point, but now I'm thinking about the difference between content and substance.
