Quite awesome, my dear!! I am all about the cheap retro fan with possibilities!! Yes, it's true, the modern counterparts usually suck in comparison. But that's what makes thrift & vintage so fun!!!
Also, your comment on my LJ about my old pics is soooo true. When Eric & I had been dating for less than six months he looked at a bunch of old pics of me and was astonished by how sad I looked in all of them . . . and how happy I look in all the pics taken since in the past year and a half. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that right before I met him I really realized a lot about what it means to make yourself happy before trying to be happy with someone else. I also got over that whole giving up things up about yourself (friends, hobbies, what have you . . .) for someone else that really makes you forget/abandon who you are. Before my current situation, every guy I dated (even back in '96!) demanded I meet his expectations or be a certain way for him to treat me right. That's crap. It took me a long ass time to figure it out, but I'll never forget what I've learned

i totally agree about the changing who you are thing. I have done that with every guy i have been with since i was a kid, such to the point that i feel like i am just now getting to know myself again... i guess thats one reason i have really enjoyed hanging out with my friends from southfield, and the ones that have been been adopted by the middle school crowd... it sounds silly, but i am not scared to just be whoever it is that i am. i figure if i had you guys as friends back then... before there were boys butting into my life... then it will work again now. The wierd thing is that guys never really asked me to change, i was just so busy trying to please them and enjoy the things that they enjoyed... i kinda forgot about myself... and now i'm realizing i wont be happy until i figure out what is it that gives me happiness.
