That's great to hear--that you have nothing to complain about. Hopefully time to paint will suddenly present itself when you least expect it.

hi! just so you know, I miss you, I really do.

that's the thing that gets harder with Livejournal the older you get - suddenly things get more serious. it's no longer about cool new shoes and getting drunk, but people get divorced, their children get cancer and their lives fall apart. if you only log in once or twice every other month, there's so much catching up to do and chances are you miss something important...which makes you feel like the biggest turd.

what am I trying to say with this? that I need to either use Livejournal regularly or not at all..

I know...livejournal was weird before, but now it's a million years later and it's still odd!
