Round numbers
So this is 600. It's amazing to think that I would ever make it this far. I kept journals when I was younger, but they were either mostly blank or everytime I got on a run and wrote in them for more than a few days at a time, I would end up tearing the pages out, thinking that my thoughts and feelings sounded stupid on paper. I had a whole collection of obituaries in one, I remember that, and I wrote poems in some of them, but mostly, I just let them sit there and seem appealing only in theory. But then, LJ came, and I discovered a journal that prevented me from seeing stupidity in my thoughts on paper, because there isn't any paper! Over the course of time, friends have joined and friends have left LJ, but there's always been that core group of people that give me solace just knowing that you're able to see my thoughts and ideas: Cristina, Jenna, Eunice, Matt, Lexi, Shannon, Christa, Brooke, Phillip, Roseanne, Sarah, Kristen, Tiff, Kayteo, Diego, Mark, Mary, Adrienne and everyone else. Thank you for letting me privelege you into my world.
The baseball coach and statistician in me wants me to make this into more than it is, but I really want to get back to where I was on entry 598: wanting to actually write things down. The number loomed, and so I didn't get to write a whole lot. But here it is, the end to my 600th entry, and all I can say to you all is, of course:
THANKS!!!
