Okay, I'm lame and I totally lied. I miss it here already.

Maybe I don't need to "quit" LiveJournal. I can just post less often.

So...yeah. I'm back.

When I started this journal 3 years ago, I was a totally different person -- newly single, extremely self-absorbed, and a little screwed up.

Thank you so much, alamoo, for the birthday card!

Other than that, bah, turning 26 is boring.
