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
