I got on today with the intention--yeah, you know what they say about good intentions and Hell--of updating my dream journal and then updating Sunshine Design. I then had planned (last night) to move to Dad's computer so I could email the people who are waiting for responses. (And I owe quite a few to people--though one will be most interesting to respond to, of which I'll explain later.)
But almost from the moment I signed on I had three people vying for my attention on MSN. And what with my computer's processor suffering a lingering death and freezing up so many times a day anymore I didn't dare open a browser while holding three conversations at once. So, it was more like an hour to an hour and a half later that I was free...but then I started doing the puzzle I have had laid out since Sunday. (As I said, chaos of distraction.)
But I'm here now in a roundabout way, thanks again to the chaos of distraction, doing an update. Granted, it's not the update I had planned (for this journal or for the journal I had in mind), but hey, go with the flow, eh? (I still have to update Dreams-USA.) But I have updated Sunshine Design and worked a bit on the puzzle. Not much, I know. =os
The other items--the emails, a letter to Milo, the second half of my unicorn historic--will have to wait till tomorrow. It's too late now, by the time I get done with both updates, have dinner and work a lil more on the puzzle.
What I should have done is gotten on Dad's comp first and responded to the emails, then gotten on my own comp and updated, chatting with those I normally chat with if they were on. That way I would have gotten more accomplished and not been caught in the chaos of distraction such as I was.
Before I go to update my other journal let me tell you about that interesting email. A few days ago it arrived in my "Bulk Mail" folder. I was surprised yet really intrigued, and I have been racking my brain ever since trying to remember if he is the guy I'm thinking of.
About four years ago when I decided, What the hey, why not check out the personals? on Yahoo! and Hotmail I started exchanging several emails with this one guy (on Yahoo!). It didn't go beyond the banal niceties and I didn't feel any lasting interest there anyway, so the emails dropped off. But this is what he wrote:
Hi there,
I may be mistaken but I remember you giving me your e-mail in a chatroom. Just wanted to say hello see what you're up to.
Hope to stay in touch,
J.T.
I'm trying to remember if J.T. was the name of the guy I talked to--or emailed--once upon a time. Yet the name 'Christopher' stands out for some reason, but again I'm not entirely certain that that's right too. So tomorrow, among the things I aim to finish--note I did not say "intend"--I'll write back and see if he responds.
