Lots of little nothings.
So, Livejournal is pretty depressing.
No longer is there the endless entries from a few years ago, when everyone would blather on and on and read each other's rambles and write long rambling comments and be all la-la-livejournal happy. Now, it's lucky to find even ONE real friend entry. It's like sorting through spam on your friends page: community, community, icons, icons, LOTR icon community (I don't even ENJOY these films anymore. or have any idea of the storyline. or the characters. I think one may be named Legolas but that's a loose guess), SPAM SPAM SPAM. Where are the entries with nothing really important but just a step-by-step run through of the day? Where are the philosophical, all over the place thought processes? (Yes, I mean you, Elizabeth). Livejournal used to be great. Now, it's useless. I know I'm being hypocritical but now that no-one else is writing down anything and everything I haven't been blogging because now Entries need to have Points. And Capitals.
Anyway, that was my version of nostalgia.
And hmm. There's lots going on with me, but not much Going On. (Capitals again, gah). I've been crazy busy lately, work, school, family stuff. Mum's leaving for Afghanistan tomorrow (via Dubai and London and home via Boston for three days). I am sort of freaking. I know I shouldn't be, and I know that really I do trust that everything's going to be fine and it's a brilliant adventure for her. But far out, even the thought of sixteen days without Mum around just to be there and hug us and cook and ask about our days and have a good old whinge with is scary. I am more missing her already than scared, but I know I won't feel totally safe for her until she's back in good old Ilkley.
