Let me begin again. Once, I was 16. And I thought the movie Hackers was an accurate representation of computer users. Yeah, there are some hackers out there, but they're ages 14-20 and arrogant (and they still live in their parents' basements). In fact, if you read my guestbook, you'll see the kinds of guests I used to get: just a bunch of losers with no respect who think they're smarter than everyone else. In fact, most people on the internet think they are smarter than everyone else. That's me at age 16. So I make my page, and it's full of some stupid shit (it's still there, if you're looking for stupid shit), some broken code, because I was a little busier prepping for college than learning javascript, some rants and raves, because I thought I was smarter than everyone else. And, yes, at age 20, I'll grant that I'm smarter than a lot of people. That's not necessarily bragging, because there are a lot of really dumb people out there--just check in my guestbook! But then again, there are a lot of smart people out there--it's not hard to be smart, really--a lot of nice, respectful people, who want to hear my opinions but won't call me a "stupid bitch" for the kind of immature shit I have on my page. I'm 20, but I still like to be immature. In a few years I'm going to have a major stick up my ass called a career and I want to enjoy my immaturity while I have it. One particularly obnoxious fellow told me I have a weak grasp of the English language. I think it's unfair to say of me. I'm not a writer--I'm a physics student. And on this page, you'll find some stuff that I've written recently that sounds like it's been written by a 14-year-old. So this isn't my greatest effort, I don't care. If you want some good writing, e-mail me and I'll send you the term paper I was working on instead of devoting myself to this page. I've got some movie and book reviews on here, and they're not the most eloquently written things, but I don't want to be a professional critic. And tell me: don't they all sound the same? And is anybody really going to spend that much time on my site reading pages and pages of artsy-fartsy bullshit? No. If I recommend a book, I'll tell why, and the same if I don't.
If you've read this far, you can see that I'm obviously offended by my rude guests. They've achieved their purpose, they've made me angry. I know I shouldn't have to explain myself. And this isn't going to stop someone from writing something rude and immature in my guestbook. If you do, you're letting your age and education be known to all.
If you're still reading, here's my premise:
Okay, I want people to come to my page. People have to have a reason to come here, which is sometimes hard to serve up. It's hard to lump my interests into a general group and serve it up to Yahoo! So, you ready? My premise is...
...
Lists! Boy I bet you were disapointed, huh? Well, I'm a compulsive listmaker, and I happen to like to read lists. I think most people do. That's why Rolling Stone publishes charts on its back page. So here are lists. Some of them are good--lists of books and movies I've seen, along with reviews. Some are lame--shit I made up in middle school. And e-mail me if you want to hear something from me that's not numbered! I like e-mails! I can't guarantee I'll get back to any of them in time, but it's nice to know some people are crawling the web who aren't losers.
I'm such a loser.
Nobody is still reading, but if you are, then please
