random bits and pieces

breathe deeply

it was sunny for part of the day and that was nice, but now it's gotten gray again. not to mention certain events at work just making me feel worse. but now i have my cup of warm tea and the essence of bergamot is filling the room. the also pleasant side effect of caffeine should hit soon. tensions rise and fall like waves, but friendships still manage to persevere. i'll be out most of tonight doing random stuff including go to a charity event. maybe i'll make it over in time to say hi to becky. i haven't seen her in forever i feel like a horrible friend.

to answer your question justin, do i really care if people i don't know are reading this? probably not. if i did i'd install one of those nifty little trackers like kevin suggested. however, where i am usually the germaphobe in this case i am not so paranoid. i mean it's an online journal for goodness sake. i always find it amusing when people ask if they can read it. if i didn't want people to read it i wouldn't put it out there to be read. i'm fairly intelligent enough to chmod things that i don't want other people to have access to and this situation is no different. if i wanted to restrict access i'd at least use a password (though it's not entirely clear to me which authentication scheme would be the best choice).
