Shelley on the phone last night: Sometimes I check livejournal to make sure who's not dead yet, and you haven't posted in a long time, and sometimes I just thought you were dead

Me: I guess you've got a point there ShellThis entry is going to suck 'cause I'm currently on the email/phone call circuit, trying to figure out what everyone's been up to ( Read more... )
