...and stuff.

I had a couple of ideas for my blog this afternoon but everything seemed like contrived BS when I wrote it down. I like to plan ahead with my blog but, I don't know, today it feels silly having to make up an excuse to write. So, in lieu of something edifying and genuine, here is a conversation you and I might have if we met face to face.

Hey. How's it going.

Yeah, I'm alright. Busy with lesson plans and stuff.

I won't presume to speak for you; feel free to fill in the gap. I have been busy writing lesson plans. I have also been reading a John Marsden book and there was a particular passage that caught my eye. This novel is about two teenage girls who have become pen pals.

"And these letters, it's funny, they're different. It's a different type of friendship. In a way I hope we never meet - it might spoil it. Somehow these letters are like a diary, and I write things in them that are different to the way I talk to people I see every day. So if we meet, or when we meet, it's like we'll have to start one type of friendship when we've already got another one. It's like we'd be starting from scratch when we'd already been going a hundred years. I don't know how it'd work."

(Please don't sue me Mr Marsden)

Well, there is neither rhyme nor reason for this post. I just wanted to let you know that even though I am working hard I am still thinking about you, out there in blogworld, and loitering in and around your webspace when I get the time. I was worried that you might have forgotten about me.
