I decided to opt against creating an entirely new diary just to vent my woes. Although the thought of unleashing an unbridled verbal onslaught without fear of repercussions is tempting, I think it may actually serve to further alienate me. Life is lonely enough as it is for me. There’s no sense compounding that by withdrawing some dark corner of my own creation. Also, I figure I spend way too much energy in this particular diary to just abandon it, and I don't really find maintaining yet another diary all that appealing. The bottom line is I know that there are people who read my diary who actually care about what I do and what I think and how I act and that is not necessarily a bad thing. They are just doing what is in their nature to do and that is to care. So again I would like to thank all of the people who cared enough to want to communicate with me. It’s gestures like these that reaffirm my faith in humanity. As for AIM, I’m not sure, maybe I’ll give it a go since I’m not feeling as embittered as I was in the last entry.

I do have a few more tweaks I’d like to implement in my diary before that though. I’m preparing to apply to several different review sites, but before that happens I have to put in those final tweaks like email and maybe a guest map. I was considering a cast page, but I don’t really have a whole bunch of people that I talk about, and I try to make each entry self-explanatory so I may scrap that idea. I may put up a friend’s page, since the people who I talk to online fairly regularly also maintain diaries so I thought they deserve special attention. I was also thinking of a links page and maybe a quiz page. I do actually take online quizzes, I just don’t like posting the results in my diary because I feel they may clutter and interfere with the more serious content so a dedicated section for that nonsense would be perfect. I probably won’t go much beyond that because I will eventually have to move past the tweaking stage of my diary and begin focusing more on the content. Oh yeah I forgot about my intention to add a philosophy section. I think I may do that next. After all this remains the tedious task of updating each past entry manually, but I'll only do that when I reached the "final version" of my tweakage. =p
