Yeah I never come here anymore...I am completely moved over to the blogspot one...So, goodbye Livejournal. It's been great knowing you.

Update on that. Yay unexpected $5 check from 5 months ago...Who would have known it would cause panic? $2. Not looking at credit card. I'm glad I put in food storage last semester. Wee. Life is so exhilarating sometimes...
