Edit: I GOT MY TAX MONEY!!!! HOORAY FOR DIRECT DEPOSIT! (I now have money for gas!)

Well, I saw this over on Katriona’s site, and decided to give it a go for myself.

Clicky, clicky!

I also want to say, I appreciate all of the comments and compliments lately. I’ve been trying more and more to use this site to its fullest extent - I don’t want to cut anything out of it just because other people might think it’s not good.

I have a lot of issues going on in my life, and I’m trying to make sense of them. It helps to know other people are listening (well, reading) and understanding about these things. So yeah - those of you who have commented? You rock!

A couple follow-ups on my last post:

Blossom: Yeah, my Spam Karma went spam-happy and set it aside for approval. I rushed in and saved the day, though! I had to turn it super-high because I was getting some annoying comments and didn’t feel like dealing with them. Thanks for the lovely thoughts, though. I really appreciate it! I noticed you play the flute when I was on your site - how long have you been playing?

Brandy: Yeah, if it had been a shirt I can’t say I’d be too keen on wearing it every day. Blech! I can’t wait until I have an apartment again, though… Matt and I used to fall asleep on webbycams every night - it’s ALMOST as good as really waking up with each other. After sharing a bed for, like, 8 months, it’s hard to deal with wanting him back here with me. But it’ll get better!

Angelina: Yeah, I guess I wasn’t entirely clear about the bracelet thing. I got it from my uncle two Christmases ago, and stopped wearing it after a little while for some reason. I probably just took it off to shower or something and forgot to put it back on. Anyway, I was looking for jewelry to wear last week, and came across it. I realized I hadn’t worn a bracelet in FOREVER, and that I was always wearing a watch on my left wrist, so I thought it’d look pretty. Plus, the bracelet is pretty. Anyway, I just put it on without thinking. So it took a while before I realized where it came from!

Aulara: If I had a collar on my wrist from every cat I’ve lost, you wouldn’t be able to see my forearm! Seriously, though - I think that’s totally sweet that you did that. And yes, Matt and I are puke-worthy. But that makes me happy - I’ve always wanted the sappy, cheesy, romance-novel kind of love, and I’ve finally found it! He’s the greatest man in the world, even if he IS way over in Canada.

Oh, and thanks for reading that page. It’s weird to talk about not wanting to see my dad, and then not explaining why. It’s really hard for me to remember, and I can’t remember feeling comfortable even hugging him. But I suppose time heals all wounds - to the best of its ability.

Pete: Yes, heels are crazy. But I’ve been wearing nothing BUT heels for the past, like, 10 years, so if I switch to flats, my heels (the ones on my feet, not the shoes) hate me. So I just have to stick it out. I’ve noticed more and more improvement every day, so I suppose it’s just a matter of time until they stop hurting altogether.

Thanks for the compliments, too. I try very hard to make my posts at least SOMEWHAT useful and not too hard to read. But I tend to blab on for hours if you let me!
