I don't even know where to start... I miss you all and think of you often, but whenever I go to livejournal, I just end up reading other people's stuff until I am interrupted (which happens a lot) and I never get around to updating ( Read more... )

Hi! I'm here, and not in the clutches of pentecostals with a dark sense of humor. Did make me laugh, though, because guess what? It's HOT in the South! I know, not a big revelation, especially in August. I met my next door neighbor after about a week and asked if it was a really quiet street - we hadn't seen any kids out on the swingsets or ( Read more... )

I don't suppose anyone else is interested enough in going to the Kennedy Center Messiah Singalong on Dec 23rd to get there by 8 am tomorrow in order to get free tickets? I heard this on the radio this morning and am inspired to go, but not so much that I'd like to brave the logistics of getting the tickets by myself. It's an impulse, and I can ( Read more... )
