It's still a wonderful tool. Without it you and I wouldn't be here, reading this blog. I wouldn't have found this song, which I just think is the best lyrical description of the Tritter arc I've ever listened to. And you wouldn't be able to disagree with me.

Unfortunately, sometimes we forget that those people we're bashing online actually do exist and end up getting into little flame wars. I've done this a few times, and although I'd like to say I don't do this as much anymore, a year from now I'll probably look back and think I was a complete idiot for saying some of the things I've said.

It happens every time I look back on any forum posts. In actuality, there's only seven or eight posts that I've written, ever, that I honestly like.

It's those seven or eight that make all the difference.

As my dad once said (or at least said something like this), "I have a million little random ideas bouncing around in my head, and only a few out of every hundred make any sense. But it's those few that make the rest of it all worth it."

So as much as this is a reflection post, it's also somewhat of an apology post. I can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. I'll admit that. I think we all have our days. Some days are worse than others.

So here's to starting over, to "treating everybody as if they have Korsakoff's. We all lie anyway."

Here's to celebrating the little quirks we all have, even if they annoy us sometimes.

Because, as Hugh Laurie says, "Perfection is intensely annoying."

Because life is incredibly boring without individuality.

Because even though this was way too long, my computer thankfully didn't delete it.

Because if everyone was perfect, we wouldn't have people accidentally closing speeches with, "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." (It actually happened in one of my cl.asses once!)

Because someone cares, and everyone's worth something, even if they won't admit it.

Because you've got a life ahead of you, and it's your job to make the most of it.

Peace.
