Streetlight Manifesto is a favorite of mine right now.
I just went back read a bunch of old entries. That is never smart. I am now quite sad and missing the way things used to be, despite the fact that I'm pretty happy with things right now. It's times like this that make me happy I have this journal. I've said before that I try to post at least once a month and I think I'm going to try to make it more frequent.
These entries are great sign-posts for my mind. Even the ones that are really vague bring back a flood of memories and feelings. I'm terrified of forgetting the people and things I used to think of as important, and this journal has consequently become much more important to me than I ever imagined it would. It makes me wish I could get into the habit of writing something everyday, but that could be dangerous. If I forget to go to bed because I'm reading the 100-ish entries of the past two years, I dread how much of my life I would disregard reading even six months worth of daily journal entries.
Anyway, at this point I'm just writing to write, but I think I'll put up another sign post while I'm here. I went to Virginia to visit Jen about a week and a half ago. It was a very good long weekend. Whatever other lasting impressions end up being taken from it, I'm happy that girl is alive.
