School's out forever

vovatSo, I made a few updates to my web page, since much of it was hilariously out of date. I hardly ever update the thing anymore, and I don't think anyone ever actually looks at it, but I do like it to be current. Pages with dead links and outdated information bug me. Anyway, if anyone has a web page that they'd like me to add to my links, please let me know. I get the impression that personal home pages have gone out of fashion, but I'm sure some of you still have something other than a journal. (Oh, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
colleenanne, do you have a functioning web page? All the links I can find point to your no-longer-existent MaxWeb one.) Several of the links I DO have there are to pages belonging to people with whom I have had no association whatsoever in years, but I figured that, as long as their pages are still there and contain links to mine (even if they're to its old location), I might as well keep the links.
Speaking of people I haven't heard from in years, I had a dream last night about going back to college at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The dream has some weird parts, like when I found a bunch of pants stored inside of each other, and when I was deciding what to wear on my first day and decided on my Doolittle shirt. (I really do have a Pixies T-shirt, but it's not a Doolittle one.) A lot of it made some kind of sense, though, like when I was deciding whether I should drive there myself, and what I would do on weekends. These things were never really issues when I was actually in college, since I couldn't drive, but they would be now. I've had a few dreams like this, where in some ways I'm the person I am now (for instance, I have a girlfriend and a car), yet I'm still an undergraduate for some reason. The thing is, I liked college in some ways, and, even though I'm generally happier with my life now, I still miss it sometimes. I did like living in the dorms, because it was kind of the best of both worlds. I wasn't living at home, but I wasn't totally on my own either. It helped that I was usually able to scare off my roommates, so I ended up having a room to myself for almost half of my undergraduate career. I liked that there were people around I could talk to, but, on the other hand, I was also frequently bothered that hardly anyone would ever approach me to talk. I spent a lot of time wandering the halls, hoping I would run into someone. I think the fact that there WERE a lot of people there, many of them relatively friendly, and yet I still spent a lot of time alone made me think I was missing out or something. I've decided that nothing makes me lonelier than being around other people, because it always seems like everyone else is happier than me, and has more friends than I do. When I'm totally alone, I tend not to think so much about that. Anyway, this is pretty much all moot, since I wouldn't be staying in a dorm if I ever went back to school (and if I somehow DID, I'd be so much older than everyone else there, which would be awkward). Besides, it would suck ifbethje didn't live somewhere nearby.

Also, I'm kind of amused that I'll actually still stumble across links to my old personal webpage. Even though it's been non-updated since about 1997 and non-online since about 1998.
