Well that didn't last long, did it?

I went looking for someone I used to know online, and couldn't find them. This threw me into a panic. For some irrational reason I believed that this person, whom I hadn't spoken to in who knows how long (ok, I do know how long, 2 years) had died. Of course this must be why I couldn't find them, because everyone knows that if you just google things persistently enough you can find anything. Hah! So I logged of my dial-up connection and dug out my oldest address book and called someone *else* that I hadn't talked to in 2 years, in order to verify that the first person I hadn't talked to in two years was not dead. This was ludicrous.

Elapsed time of pretending this medium is a peaceful, detached, bottle-note experience: 30 minutes.
Elapsed time of behaving like a crazed woman: 1 hour.

I think I need a cigarette.
