Friends only mostly
I have a bunch of posts that are friends only but I do occasionally post public posts. If you're interested in reading the more personal stuff, feel free to leave me a comment and it's pretty likely that I'll add you. :) -

How I'm feeling
This is my life
Its not what it was before
All these feelings I’ve shared
And these are my dreams
That I’d never lived before
Somebody shake me

Grrrr
I've often been a softy for animals and when I heard recently about the U.S. Marine in Iraq who is "alleged" to have thrown a puppy off a cliff to its death, I pretty much went ballistic. (Click here for info). While the incident is under investigation (the Marines have called it "shocking and deplorable"), the likelihood that it happened just ( Read more... ) -
First post redux
Well, I'm back. Sort of. Didn't want to *pay* for the ability to get my old name back, so I bumped the version number. :) I did spend an inordinate amount of time online reading LJ, so I've decided to come back and just keep tabs on my favorite people. Not that I don't love you all, it's just that there aren't that many hours in the day. :) How I ( Read more... )
