Xach knows me better than I know myself. This time, it’s because I do have another (not really top secret, but slightly embarassing, so not linked here) blog. Have had one for 5 years, in fact. And its sole purpose is to impress my future self with how hip and with-it my younger self was.

Somehow, it never has had the effect on my then-present selves that my then-past selves intended. Which, if I think about it, is a good thing.
