  2. I just love to teach foul language in class.

    How do you know my name? Did I tell you? God, I think my brain is definitely melting.

    Did you get the email I sent you the other day? Just wondering. I thought that maybe through email would be easier than you coming to my blog and I coming to yours.

    And there is always so much to talk about...

    Yes, I still have (at least) five years of college ahead of me. That is, if everything goes right and if I don't fail any subjects. Let's contemplate a brighter future and not think about this. Not when I have a bunch of tests coming up.

  3. Hey, hey!

    I was just wondering how you knew my name. I kind of suspected that you had talked to Chris. I mean, anyway, I saw that you posted on his blog, so I made some mental connections (not that they work too often, specially nowadays with such work load... grr...) But, you knew Chris before or is he just an internet acquaintance? I started talking to him after I saw some things he wrote on his blog. Anyway...

    Technology is good, given that it allows us to find interesting people. I've met a lot of nice people on the internet.

    Oh, about the Orkut thingie, I've taken the liberty to add you. Ta-da. ;-)

    Don't worry about replying. I was just wondering if you had gotten it or not. Anyway, if you prefer to talk through comments, it's ok. I just thought that you'd like more privacy. I don't really care about what I write or what people read. That's why I speak a lot on my blog sometimes. More than I should. And... since we're going to speak through comments, these are going to start to become huge, I'm very prolix.

    I don't really worry that much about my writing nowadays. Especially because I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to it. I wish I had more, probably next year I'll be able to, given that, now that I've moved to my own house and I'm going to stop teaching, I'll have more time to myself. I mean, I love teaching, but it leaves me no time available for idleness and for being a bohemian artist.

    I believe that, if people compliment you is because they enjoy what you write. When they don't, or when something is ordinary for their taste, they just don't say anything. That is what people do when they are being polite. They just don't say anything.

    I think it's pretty hard to get to learn the right approach from someone or from some people. I think each person has a different approach. What is right for you is wrong for me. Especially nowadays, when writing is so diffuse and so different. Maybe in the past it was easy to learn the formula and work with that. Every writer I know writes differently and I could never match what they do. And I think they would never be able to do what I do -- but then again, I tend to think too highly of myself. ha.

    As I said, if you want to talk through comments, it's fine with me. And I respect people's traumas, given that I have a bunch of them myself.
