twirlgrrlUpdate on the East Bay situation: Not sure now. Can't leave until T comes over. She hasn't called yet.
In other news: I don't understand this whole deleting-journals thing. I can see starting a new LJ for a new chapter in life, but why delete the old one? I read someone's post the other day about deleting a 4-year-old LJ; the poster said she wanted to distance herself from her life of the past four years and start fresh. Does deleting the LJ make it seem like that stuff never happened? I am such a nostalgia whore, I can never imagine wanted to erase a record of part of my own life--I guess that makes me narcissistic too. But I'm just saying. Life is life, and I like to keep the old stuff around, warts and all. Maybe to learn from it, maybe just to refer back to it when I can't remember it anymore.

We are writing our own history, our past and our future. I am made up of everyone I've ever known and every mistake and victory I've experienced. Our scars are what make us unique and beautiful individuals.
