Moving on
Already my time with livejournal is coming to a close. I know, I know, I just got here! I barely got settled! We didn't get to know each other! *sigh* Yeah. I'm sorry.

In which I attempt to avoid becoming the village idiot
This is really a test post, but I wanted it to be more than just *knock*knock* hello, does this thing work? *knock*knock* so I thought I'd briefly explain how I got here ( Read more... )
