Another Chapter

So I move, on average, every three years. And not just down the street, either. I move, on average, two thousand miles. This gives me ample ability to recreate myself with relative frequency; like the freedom of summer camp, I can be the person I want to be without the limits of any reputation I'd've built among those in that sphere. It's thrilling

Our little Einstein visits make it worth knowing you, I think.

[spangletigress]

Thanks; I <3 you, too, Gothic.

(In other words, yeah, I guess you're right. :) )

[gothicblonde42]

Damn straight I'm right!

[spangletigress]

OK, OK, I'll shout it from the rooftops:

SHE'S RIGHT! I'M WORTHWHILE SOMETIMES!

Happy? ;)

You're welcome to reinvent yourself for me. I'm sure I'll like you any way you are :)

Awww, thanks, Sweetie!

I told someone once in high school that I felt like wet clay, malleable and adaptable to a fault, though I mourned the day the clay would have to be fired and forever unchanged or break. She responded, "Just make sure it hardens the way you want it to." I guess I just need to refine the shape so that if the heat turns up at some point this year, I won't be displeased with the outcome.

That reminds me of a Billy Joel song, "Just The Way You Are".... which is actually one of his least favorites of his own work, despite that he's won awards for it and everyone thinks it's such a great love song. He's much more proud of his upbeat hits.
