Things which suck and things which do not suck:
I haven’t written in an age for two reasons in particular. #1 would be that my computer is still in the shop, so I only get the chance to update if I am at Joel’s house, and up until this past Tuesday, his father and stepmother [...]

I didn’t want to spam my own post with responses to everyone so I’m just going to say it here, instead.
Thank you to everyone who has commented or e-mailed me, or sent a private message. All of these well-wishes have completely knocked me out. Thank you for the kindness and for just being awesome.

I got my first camera when I was 8 years old (”8 and a half, going on 9″), as a Christmas present.

Oh, sure, there was intelligent conversation, fun and funny stuff, and good advice, but at its core, it was a deeply disgruntled social [...]

Somebody hit my journal off the search term “removing grasshopper from inside the home.”
I wonder if this person had an indoor grasshopper infestation, or was squeamish and was looking for a way to get a ‘hopper out without touching it. Unfortunately, unless this person delurks, I will probably never know. Fie!
I’ve been working on categorizing [...]

Whooo, meta, meta, meta, meta!

Welcome to my LiveJournal. Shit, that’s a phrase I never thought I would ever write.
Anyway, I’m starting this ‘cause a number of my friends, both local and online have LJs and several have gone to “friends only,” so in order to read the words of some amazing and witty folks, I need to make [...]
