i know, i know, i’m slow…

10Sep08

i am so sleepy.

at some point in time, i will have to start remembering that 28-going-on-29 is no age for staying up all hours of the night. how do people age gracefully? i feel incredibly rebellious and uncomfortable with how everything – physical and mental – is changing… and i am still more than a year shy of 30. just 30. i can imagine going to bed at eight every night even before i hit 40. how can a university lecturer go to bed at eight??

that aside, i have just discovered that wordpress tracks my visitors. i have never used one of these tracker  things because i had always fondly assumed that my blog was completely hidden away from the public eye. interestingly, wordpress now tells me i actually have visitors (other than the two whom i actually know are reading this). exciting! and scary! who are you?  now i know i am really, truly, out of the closet. i feel a little… strange. and exposed. like i have been caught wearing a bright pink polka-dot dress. (i can’t really think of anything more outlandish and embarrassing. i apologize if you actually own a bright pink polka-dot dress. i just can’t believe there is a you out there!)

i know, theoretically, that web communities have immense power and potential. today, i felt, for the first time, how truly amazing this all is – the ability to connect with strangers, and to share my little joys and heartaches and pms-days. i have a web persona. wow.
