It's funny how these things work
As it so often seems to be when I post to lj lately, and possibly that has been true for the duration of my account, it's the middle of the night and I should have been asleep hours ago. Not sure if it's from Mountain Dew at dinner or getting to spend the day with people I love spending time with. Or maybe coming home to find that the online order I've been desperately waiting for is on the way. Anyway, posting here always seems to clear my head enough to actually crash.
It hit me, while I was trying to fall asleep - I could say something like "deciding to actually watch Repo after my birthday party last year was the best decision I ever made." It was certainly a good decision - led to meeting some wonderful people, people I hope are part of my life for years to come. But it wasn't the best decision of my life.
Most of my decisions pan out as neutral, or equally good. But I think an honest answer on best decision is signing up for lj all those years ago. Because while I don't comment much, and I don't know all of you very well, I've known a number of you for years. And my two dearest bosom buddies were lj friends first. And then on im, and then on the phone. Not face to face yet, but one day. And it'll be because one day in October back in 2003 I finally went "I know you've been on lj a while, can you get me an invite?"
The rest, as they say, is history.
