I think that there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust.
In the long and illustrious history of me having conflicting emotions and restless nights over Dumb Shit, my angst over the transition from Live Journal to my own blog has to be some of the silliest nonsense ever. I cried over quitting horrible jobs where I was misused. I cried when I graduated from middle school, which was responsible for two of the most miserable years of my life. This morning, I teared up a little bit thinking about writing what will basically be my last post over there.
Comparing my LJ to such bad things as abusive employers and teachers isn’t really fair, since I was never miserable there, but I know that I am tired of the whole thing and I can’t shake the sense that it’s time to move on. I’m concerned that most of the people with whom I’ve made connections with on LJ will no longer care what I blather on about over here. Over five and half years, I’ve read along as the people who I know on some weird detached level of intimacy have fallen in and out of love, married, divorced, gotten pregnant, had miscarriages and abortions, had babies, found new jobs or lost old jobs. And in that time a handful of people have followed along as I went from an insecure, young mother to…an insecure, slightly older mother. I also, you know, graduated college, got some jobs, bought a house, got married, tumbled through some horrible depression, started grad school. I know I’m not totally boring. I just don’t know if I’m engaging enough at this point to build a whole new motley crew.
But all of that whining aside, I am really excited to be here in my own space.

First comment!
It won’t be a completely new motley crew. The internet is big enough for both your blog and LJ.
So, in other words, plz be less dramatic kthxbye. 🙂

sorry we can’t do the catering for your orientation lunch—it’s just a bad time of the year for us between a couple big weddings and launching our delivery service. maybe next time!

Hey Sheryl,
Not to worry about the catering, I totally understand. I’ll just have to snag you guys for next year way in advance. 🙂

It’s fancy to match my pants.

Looks great! Maybe I’ll get my own fancy pants and a domain, too. But not this week.

Whee, plaid!

Looks good!
What was the problem with the site, by the way.
August 3rd, 2007 at 7:24 pm
Thanks, Rob! There was some random file in my public_html folder and I just had to delete it. I never would have figured it out. viva la tech support!

well you know I was username/login challenged at your old salon, so I am very happy to find your bad assed self here. Nice digs. Love the plaid;-)
I am sure it was kind of hard though–all those archives, etc. Feels like your community was contained in there, I’m sure.

indeed, Joy! the transition has been easier than I had anticipated, but it still feels all so weird and different.
