i haven't posted here in a long time.  no reason except that by the time i go through my friends journals, i'm usually not in the journaling mood.  nope, not you guys, just this one community posts a ton of stuff, so it's quicker to go to individual journals than scroll through my friends page.  yeah ( Read more... )
