perhaps it's just that i've found better things to do. perhaps i've been preoccupied with other activities. perhaps it's because i don't have much to complain about or dwell on. perhaps it's simply because i don't care so much anymore if anyone feels like following up on my life's adventures. perhaps it's because i don't care so much that i know that i'm not getting as many hits as i used to. yes, it's partly true. i simply don't care like i used to.

it used to be that i'd get inspired or excited to entertain and tell my stories, but these days i'm just not so into it anymore.

i think part of the fun of writing here at diaryland is the audience participation. as soon as that dwindles, it's no fun anymore. but then again, it's a place to let out your personal thoughts in writing, only to come back to a month from now, 6 months from now, a year from now, perhaps 5 years from now and realize how silly or wonderful or sad or depressed or excited you were on such a day.

there are simply so many reasons and i guess i'm writing about this right now because really i didn't know what to write about when i started at the top of this update. i just kinda went with my mind of thought.

i'm fairly content these days. and when i'm fairly content, i find that i simply just don't have as much to talk about.

my dad wrote me a cute little email today. here, read it.

"Dear Rachel, Thank you for the movies. I will be in Taiwan from 10-7-02 for one week. Do you want any thing for your gift? I will pick myself if you have no choices.

Daddy"

my mom flew to taiwan last friday. no, she doesn't have wings, but i think you know that i meant a plane flew her there. well, turns out my dad will be joining her for just one week. it's nice that they can take a vacation together, even for a short little amount of time. mom will be there for nearly two months. i wish dad would be able to vacation for 2 weeks rather than just one.
