HEY! These pages aren't for you; they're for me. Sure, I want you to visit. Why else would I put them out in public
view? But whether they accomplish anything or not, hey, maybe so, maybe no. It's not like
these are my business pages. This is just a bunch of stuff
that interests me that may interest you, too. I wanted to teach myself about HTML and Web technology, and this is what my first
attempt looks like. It'll change, sometimes often, sometimes not for weeks and months at a
time. Depends on how busy I am, and boy, am I busy sometimes. If you're really smart and read between the links, you'll learn a considerable amount about me that
almost no one ever bothers to learn about me, because I'm really hard to get to know. Does
this mean I've dropped all my barriers and walls to let you into my inter sanctum? Fuck,
no. If I were willing and knew how to do that for people, wouldn't I be doing it face to face?
"So, Rachel, what's the REAL reason you're doing this?" Hmm.
Don't know. I'll have to think about that one. Mostly, it's a cool medium. Hyperlinks work the way I think. This means
my conversations make more sense by
hyperlink. If I have an associative thought that I put down on virtual paper, you can
either choose to branch off onto one of my neural zones or keep going down the straight and narrow. Frankly, the straight and narrow bores me. If I
chewed gum, I'd be the kind of person who not only walks and chews gum at the same time,
but writes a sonnet and calculates pi to the nth degree while walking and chewing. What am
I doing right now? Well, I paused for a moment while working on a web site review to start typing my thoughts here. I'm
also answering the phone to answer questions about a production of Rocky Horror Picture Show I'm doing with
the local Teen Center in my area. Hmm. It's a slow day. Lessee. Back to the main point.
I suppose I should have an appropriate mission statement. One to two
concise, pro-active sentences that really get to the nitty-gritty, the down-and-dirty, the
real enchilada...I'll give it a try:
The Mission of "DICHOTOMY!" is to provide you, the
visitor, with a virtual visit to the neural pathways in the mind and brain of a multi-tasking madwoman.
Hmm. Far too pithy. Tell you what -- If you figure out why the site's
here, send me e-mail and let me know. If I
like it, I'll adopt your mission statement as my own.
