Keeping Up
I haven't been keeping up this journal. (Well, DUH!) I started a Wordpress journal a while back, because I wanted some of the features they offer, like statistics. At the time, I thought I'd keep them both up, but I'm not doing a very good job of it. Obviously.
If you're interested, though, samarcand created an RSS feed, so you can read my other journal ( Read more... ) -

She battled her teacher through the end of the year, though she danced the recital beautifully (and perfectly -- except she can't skip ( Read more... )
