Just let your feelings roll on by

Ought one apologize for six months of LiveJournal inactivity? Doing so seems to be rather presumptuous; it entails assuming that the presence of one's entries are enjoyed by others, and that they are also missed in their absence. It also entails an obligation of the writer, or perhaps, less charitably, of the "blogger" to his audience. ( Read more... )

Horray for 4 AM LJ posts! Yeah I'm still up at this ungodly hour as always, such is the ways of summer. As you once said, when in June, sleep till noon! Good luck, really I mean it at Chicago, I wish I could escape from this trap of uncertainty about college, which leads me to spend yet perhaps another semester/year in Albany, however it's not important. In the long run, you'll have done the right thing, it takes a bigger man then I, (i.e. you) to place his rational thought before those less rational emotional ones. (I think you know what I'm talkin about) So I (and I'm sure many other people) are quite glad you finally made up your mind about this, please do the usual, send a postcard and uhhh enjoy the pizza? Also, a cut might not have been a bad idea for this post :p

-Much love, Jeff

Thanks for the thoughts, Jeff. I wouldn't worry. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out your school issues as well. Just figure out what you have to do, and then don't let anyone, including yourself, stop you. Best of luck. I know you can do it.

By the way, we should hang out soon... I'll let you know when I have time off from work. Come see me then!

Oh, if you want, I can send you some pizza in the mail. Your own delivery pizza, straight from Chicago!

Yay, Kenny!

Yay for going to UChi, which I think will be your paradise.

But most of all, yay for making your own choice and feeling at peace with it.

Check out the Chicago debate peeps, there are some quality peeps there, and it may help your adjustment.

Love love love love love,
Lina

Thank you so much, Lina! I really wanted to talk to you about this during the year, but... I'm glad you understand. I'm definitely planning on checking out debate- might I see you at our tournament? (Does UNC do debate at all anyhow? Hope to see you sooner or later, regardless.)

First, never apologize, seriously, while I love reading your well written albiet wordy posts, you shouldn't feel like you have to. Remember what happened when Captain Needa apologized? Second, I tried a long distance relationship, and as hard as it might be I think you're making the right choice. Well I don't really have comments on the rest of this, yay Chicago? I hope you find what you're looking for there. I do hear that at Chicago, if everyone finishes their chores that they party like its 1699.

Hahaha. I seriously briefly contemplated the subject line "Apology accepted". Great minds, eh? Thanks for the thoughts, Cusey. Hope all is well with you- are you around this summer? We should have a nDo night at some point.

You are the second person that I'd consider within my "circle" of friends to decide to transfer next year, and I can understand why both of you would do so, because I think everyone at Brandeis has considered a different school. I wish you the best of luck at Chicago and I hope I get to see you when you visit.

I do beg to differ about the inability to continue a relationship across 1500 miles - mine spans at least 3000 and includes an ocean, yet we manage to carry on with remarkable skill. I know, however, that 99% of relationships aren't like mine and Keith's, and ending yours was probably the right decision for both you and Anna. I'm just sorry for the pain it'll cause you both. I wanted to say that a long distance relationship certainly isn't impossible, it just requires a great deal of trust, patience, and incredible love.

I hope everything turns out well in the future for you, Kenny, and I hope that you stay in contact with all of us.

mr_kenny June 22 2006, 06:23:30 UTC

Thanks Meghan. I'll absolutely make sure I see you when I come. I'm glad you've been able to make things work with Keith... maybe someday I'll be able to do the same (that is, a long distance relationship, not a long distance relationship with Keith!) Indeed, I too hope we stay in touch.

i am so glad you posted, because it really has been quite a while, although i agree with mike: dont apologize. as an avid lj reader and poster, im not in teh same mindframe you described, but i do understand when there is so much to be said, and just no time, desire, or even cabability to say it yet. so if anything, this post has more more depth and magnatude and spirit than if you had been sporadically posting for the last 6 months. i saw the familiar orange of your icon rising up from the bottom of my screen as i scrolled, and suddenly i knew this was going to be an enjoyable read : )

i thought you should have gone to chicago last year, though im not sure if i told you or not. i think i was torn between whether getting a lot of different opinions was better for you, or if you should just figure it out on your own. in the end, a year later, i have no idea what i actually said to you, but i know what i thought. ultimately, you did figure out on your own, and im very proud of you, and im sorry it is such a hard choice and you will be ( ... )
