how to create great passwords, etc.

Think of a word. Then misspell it. Then, convert some of the letters in it to leetspeak and throw another random digit/character into it somewhere. Now your password is awesome.


Now the etc. I used to consider hangovers the official feeling of adulthood, but now there's another one. It's the feeling of defeat you get when you're sick and tired of being sick and tired of something (like when people break up with their mean boyfriends and empower themselves!), but you just have to keep doing the same shit anyway because there's no way out. I'm so tired of watch school right now it amazes me, yet I have to go till it's over.

I heard somewhere that, and I'm sorry I didn't get the link, since I'm sure it was on the computer network, but I heard somewhere that our memories protect us. The gist of it was, the things we think we remember aren't remembered the way they actually happened. A sepia tone glosses over the cracks and hard edges of unpleasantness that should saturate our memories if they were written down by our conscious minds. Basically, it's been shown that we misremember pain and discomfort. Example: Try to remember being in a really foul frame of mind four years ago. Can you? I can't, and for purposes I don't have to go into, will assume you can't either. What do you think that's about?

Each day is a struggle, full of details and phone calls and traffic. And yet remembering five years ago, it's like those were "the good old days". No, it was the same shit five years ago only you can't remember it. Five years from now I'll look up this blog and think of how neatly it fits in with the subject matter that I was in a bad mood when I set these words down. That it might not have mattered if it weren't for my saying it did, which really had no effect on anything, so it won't matter. By then school will be a dimming memory, and I'll probably have blacked out most of it, except maybe one or two things I enjoyed.
