    ---The Poll Results are in. I predict that this event will trigger journal updates. Not really going out on a limb on that one. Well here's what I think. I'm not surprised at Tracy Lee's popularity amongst journal readers. It always seemed to me that Open Pages was going to be receiving hits through the link on Tracy's page more than the other way around.

    Sometimes I think that her pages might not have been quite so popular had she not had pictures of attractive women (er, woman) on her page. I suppose appearances still move a certain weight. Someone mentioned a commercial which implied that your physical body didn't matter on the Internet. Well..

    They're right! Tracy could have put up a bunch of pictures of her next door neighbor or something, and NO ONE WOULD KNOW DIFFERENTLY. (warning: overgeneralization. certain people could have known differently.) And you may argue that she's an intelligent, creative person, and is fun to read. Well. As in life, your minds may be a match made in heaven, but you have your bodies to thank for the introduction. Um...I'm too misanthropic to be taken seriously on this topic. Next.

    ---Everyone seems to be having a rough time nowadays. People need help. Friends set against friends. It's a bad scene. When people depend on me for support, I try to be there, to some extent. The problem is, later on after things are back to normal, they sometimes want to return the favor... and this makes me very uncomfortable. There isn't much that I value more than being self-sufficient. I make my plans with the assumption that no one will help me, and when that is the case (not uncommon) I make sure to prepare for every contingency I can think of. When people are helping me, I get nervous. When people tell me I've done a good job, I get nervous. When people tell me things could be improved, I'm fine. Maybe I'm nervous that they will expect continued excellence and that I can't fulfill expectations? The extra pressure certainly would not help my performance.
