Good Luck to the Historian.

All at once I tell 1000 different jokes
Express 1000 unique concerns
Suppress 1000 distinct fears
Log 1000 unrelated complaints
Reveal 1000 disparate loves

Each word echoes off 1000 shadows of me.
1000 shadows each colored by its home.
For 1000 friends I have made
and in 1000 memories I live.

So tell me historian, who am I?
