i've started reading my friends page again. relatively regularly too. this means that i'm listening if i amount to anything.
although i can sympathize with the idea that this past decade has been lonely, it's also been great in terms of introducing me to both people and ideas that i'm very grateful to have run into. perhaps as we get older, we become more acutely aware of loneliness. i don't remember feeling lonely as a little kid, but i also know that i'm not really in contact with the people i used to spend time with anymore. on the other hand, i do distinctly remember feeling lonely more recently, but i've also got more friends now that i hope to stay in touch with for many years to come.
i love livejournal as a medium for remedying confusion.
who you were before what?
you are also eminently capable and intelligent. (and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. i don't know anyone else who knows how to get monkeys into MRI machines. and that makes you special)
I think this entry was mostly about dealing with upheaval and being just slightly afraid of the future and the personal change it requires - but yeah, I know I'll get through it. Thanks for the comments though - it does really help to know that I can still talk to some of the people who have passed through my life at one point or another.
So yes - we should talk about grad school sometime.
Heh - glad to hear I'm fondly remembered. I don't know when I'll be heading your way again - I've got other places I'd rather be than central PA these days - but if I do, I'll definitely give you a call.
As you should call me as well - should you ever make your way to the northern cackalacky, which is clearly a much better place to be than central PA.
A trip down your way is not out of the realm of possibilities. I don't think I have your phone number anymore, though. Could you e-mail it to me? megalonias @ gmail.com
