I wonder if the reason I keep coming back to blogging (and trying to upload, and re-upload, and re-organize old notes into posts, etc etc) is likely to do with middle school trauma about somebody stealing my notebook and reading it to the girl I liked.

I got called into the principal’s office for that one, and it was such (and is such) an embarrassing memory that I really avoided putting effort towards showing my notes and work to others.

Apart from that, the more garden variety attention deficit / gifted kid meme picked up the rest of the slack in making it easy to goldbrick myself out of doing anything beyond geeking out over setting up the underlying ‘stack’ .
