Who's This Fish???
"Hold everything dear in your hand. In a moment it's gone. Everything that you love disappears. Hold everything close cause you may outlast it. Memories all that remain of that way that it was..." ~Juliana
Typically in this part of someones web space you would find a list of their physical characteristics then lists of likes and dislikes and so on and so on etc. I don't like to do that and I don't think it's necessary considering the fact that there are pictures of me throughout life in my photos. And if you're really that interested in my opinions, you'll find all of that and more in the journal candidly titled "notes". However, I'll give you some history of the page.
BACKGROUND
This site has been up and running since January of 2000. (My senior year of highschool) It started out as an experiment. Testing the hours of hard work I'd put into my senior homepage class. It was also a nice way to keep in touch with a few of my friends who had left for college. Since then, through controversial discussions and brutal dramatic brawls, it's gone through several changes but it's still here. Thankfully, not many people know about it or remember it anymore.
The Title: is currently Notes from the Fishbowl. Formerly Betty's. I've definitely gone through many names. But I'm stuck on this one for now.
The meaning: I spend anywhere from 6-11 hours in an office 6 days a week alone. The entire front wall is one huge window. People look in. I look out. I've contemplated making faces at them. I have altogether too much time to my own thoughts.
Bonus pages: who's this fish, notes, photos, poetry, archives, outside the fishbowl
Who's this fish?: you're lookin' at it! An "about me" section titled to coordinate with my new page name. Look ma! I'm matchy!
Notes: My own space to vent frustrations and talk about whatever seems to be going on in my life. Unfortunately, I'm rude and I mention friends and people who pop in and out of my everyday scenery. One thing you must understand about the journal is that it's only my personal opinions and perceptions. I often contradict myself and end up with my foot in my mouth. I'm an asshole. What more can I say?
Photos:Hasn't been updated in quite some time but currently contains valuable memories. If you're ever wondering what someone that I talk about in my journal looks like, sometimes you can find a picture of them here.
Poetry:Also not regularly updated. I've only started to write verse again recently. It's been awhile since I've felt like using that form of expression. I'm working on putting some things together and upgrading. Soon. Soon.
Archives:Pages upon pages of old journal posts dating back to the origin of the site.
Outside the fishbowl:A links page. Just a list of sites that I frequent. Places that I enjoy and would like to share.
Don't mug yourself,
Laura
