Maker vs. User

A rave.

I don’t have the desire to have some idiot wave blinky lights in my face, but maybe if I’d brought a bandana I’d be having even more fun — all the cool kids seem to have them.

Saved a kid’s backpack from the trampling mob.

There’s a couple next to me on the grass making out — not nasty-trampy but more like second-date romantic. Very sweet. Often the best pictures are the ones you take in your head.

I am having a good time, actually. It’s just that I always have to be so damned responsible.

Maker vs. user — people who spend their energy customizing but never get around to actually using the things they’ve built. There is merit in making for the value of making, but somehow I feel obligated to use — and often I don’t. Especially re: technology. Case in point: journalling. Funny that I have to go to a rave before I get around to it.

You can’t dust for vomit.
