Five years already? You would have thought I’d get bored with saying things by now, but somehow I manage to keep doing it. Lucky for you, right? This past year has been a big one for people I know from other contexts - work, school, family - telling me that they read my site (and in some cases have been reading it for a long time). It’s always a weird moment, especially if they’ve recently read through my archives - I myself haven’t read any of that stuff in years, so it’s probable that if you have, you’ve got a much better idea of what I was like at eighteen or nineteen than I do. If you discover I liked goofy bands and goofy people four years ago, don’t hold it against me. We were all teenagers once (and some of us are still teenagers even in our twenties).
