2000 march 27boomwhen i first started this journal i chose to do so anonymously. i had all sorts of peachy keen reasons: a semipsychotic exhusband who periodically feels the need to practice his stalkerly ways, the fact that gene is well known within a couple of internet circles under his real name, the thrill of being someone else. all of those reasons still apply. but i have decided there is really no reason to keep where i live a secret. i had delusions of being part of the journalling community back in october 98 but i quickly decided i didn't want to play with all the other children. before that, however, i registered with diarist.net and gave my location as south carolina. i've never even been to south carolina. whenever i read a pat conroy novel i feel the need to go to south carolina and that seemed a good enough reason to choose it over nebraska or texas or california where i would be lost in a sea of online journallers. i'm coming clean today. i'm tired of not talking out and out about the places i've been, the cool things i've seen, the weather in specific rather than general. damn it, i live in the pacific northwest and i'm proud of it and WE BLEW UP THE KINGDOME YESTERDAY! yes, i realize it is a symptom of our throwaway society that we demolished a perfectly good stadium and yes, there were all sorts of reasons not to do it, not the least of which is the fact we still owe something like 210 million dollars on the bloody thing, but what the hell. it was cool. and it was gone, right before my very eyes, claire
