That was awesome... I just surfed over here because I noticed that you friended me and since I had just written for the first time in this journal a few hours ago I was suprised that anyone would have found me and felt compelled to friend me already. I really do like how you write a lot even the story about the crazy lady in the pharmacy. So I am going to friend you back if you don't mind. Just to let you know I am in in very writie manic type stage currently so I may post a lot for a few days, probably followed by a realtive silence that will result in only once weekly tidbit postings... ahh see I am rambling even in a comment... I am done now... so anyway thanks for the add I look forward to reading your journal.
