Here And There:
First a prompt: Were you in any extra curricular clubs in high school? I was a closet member of the band. There were the hardcore members and they STILL meet to watch the videos of the band and still discuss band. The band director has them friended on facebook. Well, that is good for them. I just didn't get into it that much after sophomore year and felt I was sold swampland when I joined. It was not what I thought it would be... So, I talk to those band fanatics, and I have turned down an invite or two, but I know band was MORE for them than just marching on a field...
*. Yeah, I love LJ. I mean I have been here for twenty years. I loved that first journal, the salad days and I wished I hadn't deleted it. Suelicious, snarky_angel, and whatever else I was, I was, and that one was fun but the innocence was gone after the DUI, loss of my day hours, and it just was not a good time. Tough_Doll, aka whoever else I became. Same.
*. Looking into addiction, and I am addicted... A lot of those habits and behaviors are from that and I wasted a lot of years on that. A lot.
*. I think about the twenty years I was on Lj and I only thought I would be a Pizza Hut waitress (not in a bad way), one of those who would work DECADES. I always thought I would live in the same house and know what I knew at that time. Funny how life changes.
*. Watched the neighbors have their open house yesterday. Prospective new neighbors and we saw at least twenty hopefuls. It's a nice house. I remember eleven years ago, catty corner to their house, doing the same thing...
*. Have a breakfast today, poll workers to call, and township work to do, but at 4 I do my meditating and healing and then I can enjoy my evening... OA, meditation, and journaling on paper have really helped me.
