a list of lists that aren't lists yet
(because they only have one item on them)
things i do not have the required expertise to understand
- why fishing lures are so expensive, and what a lure's price point indicates (quality? elite status?)
things no one could have foreseen, but i still feel like i should have been warned about somehow
- the disproportionate number of my and my friends' exes from our younger years that would go on to become local media personalities, ensuring that i can never see a headline without immediately looking to see if it's written by someone i know intimate facts about
things that have actually been influences on my published works, not whatever cooler-sounding thing i said
ways i would use time travel to be a bother:
- going back in time to rewrite the literal dozens of "how tech will be part of my life in the future" essays i entered in various competitions in junior high and answering them with cassandra-level doomed prophecies, guaranteeing that i never see any prize money but also that 20+ years later, the judges would have an unsettling sense of deja vu seeing articles about people petitioning elon musk to take dogecoin to the moon
halloween costumes i considered in 2022:
- julia stiles in ghostwriter
