Why, hello there Livejournal. Long time, no see. In fact, I had forgotten about you completely (and this wasn't the first time that's happened). It's a little unsettling to think that it's so easy for me to forget that I have 6+ years of my life posted on here. Sometimes I wonder what'll happen to this thing. In the future. Will I eventually delete it, erasing what sparse records I have of my SUPER EXCITING teenage years? Or will it just sit here quietly, until some day Livejournal shuts down, or the internet itself becomes obsolete? Will anyone ever read this?

It's weird to think how much of our lives are recorded these days. There will be SO much information for people to look through hundreds of years from now. What will they think of it? Will it be interesting to them, in the same way that people today find medieval Europe or ancient Greece to be interesting? Will it even last?

I bet the ancient Greeks thought that their writings would last, and yet so very little of it has survived to this day. Way less than what they actually recorded. And maybe we only got the insignificant stuff. Maybe we're missing everything that would really explain their culture. Maybe the same thing will happen to us.

Sometimes, I really wish that I could live for hundreds and hundreds of years. Just to know WHAT happens in the future. I have this insatiable curiosity, and it's so frustrating to know that I'll never ever be able to see what life is like a hundred or a thousand years from now. Or what people then will think of people now.

They'll probably get it all wrong, anyways. But I want to know WHAT they'll get wrong, and how.

Aaaaand... I think I ate too many chocolate muffins today. Fascinating.
