Whoa does anyone still have this thing? Its been ages since my first entry, and everything is so different, yet bitter sweetly beautiful. I'm beginning to forget everything- a sign of Alzheimer's or dementia, hopefully neither, and its all cuz i'm in a house in the middle of no where all alone by night, and by day i'm at work and i can't chat or ( Read more... )
