My parents had a postcard in the 70s that showed how many times Texas fitted into Australia. Most of us live on the outer coastal fringes where you can grow things that look vaguely European, and tend to be a bit frightened of the huge dry middle bit. No offense taken.

You're not missing out on anything. Trust ,me. Geeks like me never had a prayer of going to the prom, and that was just fine because I never had any interest in it. It's all vodka and dirty dancing anyway. Let that be, and spend the time and energy doing and pursuing what your gut is telling you to do. all that other twittering nonsense is just distraction--or resistance as Steven Pressfield calls it in the War of Art. And you're right about blogging. We are, in a sense, firing rockets into the night. But sometimes those rockets come into alignment and sometimes they bear down on one another and it's in the phasing in and out of that kind of randomness where we find some of the most interesting things. Kind of like when two different tones come slightly out of harmony--it's only then that we can hear each frequency for what it is. They they diverge more and it's gone. Laura,
First of all, you are one of the cool kids. You’re not missing out on anything. Trust ,me. Geeks like me never had a prayer of going to the prom, and that was just fine because I never had any interest in it. It’s all vodka and dirty dancing anyway. Let that be, and spend the time and energy doing and pursuing what your gut is telling you to do. all that other twittering nonsense is just distraction–or resistance as Steven Pressfield calls it in the War of Art.

And you’re right about blogging. We are, in a sense, firing rockets into the night.
