Huh. Even I, as magnificent as I am, am not immune to habit; just now, when typing in the URL of this place, I realised I'd automatically started typing "ope" before correcting myself.
I suppose I do have a few online habits. The first thing I do in the morning after going to the bathroom is sitting at my laptop with a cup of hot black sugarless coffee and a Hamlet and I do the following, in order, every morning: First, I open up four browser tabs. I then go to Google, to BBC News, to twitter and to Prosebox. I google various pieces of gaming news, software releases and the like. Then I hit up BBC News and see what insanity occurred whilst I was asleep. I head to twitter to troll idiots (it's so easy) and then I got to Prosebox and lurk.
I write a lot less than I used to on Opendiary, that's for sure, but the loss of everything I wrote with no fucking warning whatsoever, by the way thanks Bruce, you fuck, kind of took the wind out of my sails. A decade + of writing, gone, kinda put me off doing it all over again. So, you know. Not that it matters, since only, what, two people read me? Good job I only do this for myself, otherwise I'd really be put out, heh.
Anyway, whatever, sidetracking here. The point is, not even I am infallible when it comes to overcoming basic habits. I think I do this once or twice a week, actually. Opendiary was a part of my life for a very long time. When I lost my virginity, when I became homeless, when I became a father, when I was no longer a father, all the good shit, the bad shit, the shit in between... all of it for over a decade was chronicled there. So, you know, it was definitely a loss when I tried logging in one day and everything was gone. And as a paying OD+ customer, I do wonder why I wasn't notified in advance. I mean, I was away from a computer for a few weeks, but a fucking email would have been nice.
Yeah, I know, this is all rapidly becoming ancient history, but I think this is the first time I've written about it here, and it's been in the back of my mind for the last few months, so I'm writing about it, mmkay?
...
Actually, I think that's about all I had to say on that subject, and now I've kinda run out of steam, so here endeth ye entry.
