Nostalgia

I'm just curious to see if this still works. I've just read through a lot of the dumber, sadder, more difficult times of my life to see what made me who I am. Despite this all being pretty teen-angst-y up through my ill-advised boozehound years, this all worked out super well in the end. Thanks, everyone, for helping me keep myself together when it

So it totally sent me an email, but I think that's just because I have it set up to do so. :) For what it's worth, I don't feel our connection is as lost as perhaps you seem to think it is. I sometimes think of messaging you but I don't want to bother you, heh. I miss the shit out of Anne (she's got a podcast, btw, if you're interested in seeing what she's up to - it's called the Boy Howdy podcast). I don't really miss Jesso but that's mostly because I assume she doesn't miss me. I'm actually getting around to being the person I think she would have preferred to be friends with, but frankly, trying to be someone else so I could be friends with someone just isn't who I am. Or maybe it is. I guess it depends on how reasonable the hoops are to jump through. I think everyone naturally wants to be someone people like

I can tell you've changed a LOT from past years. I hate to say "all for the better" because that makes it sound like you were awful, which you weren't, but still the changes I've seen have all been good ones. It does seem like you've calmed down a lot, you're not so high-strung. As cheesy as it sounds, it's part of why I like Jaala- it seems like things got a lot better for you when you met her, and it makes me happy to see you happier. (Plus, she just seems really rad and I like her on her own.)

I actually came to LJ tonight to do my own rambling, and found this and a few other recent posts from old friends. Tis the season, I guess!
