Words. They look really friendly from a distance. They seem to be having a really fun time, calling out for you to throw off the constraints of right and wrong that numbers always seem to lumber you with.
"There's no wrong answer with words." they say,
"We can be anything you want us to!"
"We're fun, we have interesting punctuation!"
Then it turns out it was all a lie. Yeah, maybe there is not 'right' answer, but there's still plenty of wrong ones. Now there's a sliding scale of opinionated right and wrong so you can't even tell if the words you have are the right words anyway. It's not as easy as pouring your soul out onto a piece of paper, you can't get carried away. The words have standards. They need to be polite, efficient. So you end up sitting there staring at the words you have, wishing they'd become the words you wanted. As opposed to staring at the numbers you have, wishing they were the numbers you wanted. (Although you don't seem to end up staring at the words you have, wondering if you got them in the correct manner.)
So I have established that words and numbers are both just as interesting as the circumstance and subject matter, and that the grass is always greener on the other side of the alphabet.
Then I got distracted and wrote a blog post about it, because I didn't want to write any more report.
It's not like anyone needs this report, I think I'm only writing it because Loughborough want to make me do more work. It's not like I have a job or anything.
I was told that one of the few benefits of work was that you didn't get homework.
Also I've decided that no one reads this any-more. You and I both know that most our page views were from Russian ghosts, and the other couple are probably just people who got a bit lost on their journey round the web. If that's you by the way, feel free to stay a while. Rest up, get you're bearings; I think there are some signs of civilisation about 3 miles north of here.
Anyway, since it's just us now... well TBH nothings really going to change. I guess it's a bit quieter with all the non existent metaphorical people gone, but they never really seemed to make much noise in the first place.
I should probably get back to this report. I'll try to stop by again soon.
