Watch that first step--it's a doozy



So--Sharminator has been nagging a tiny bit, telling me that once I start posting I'll be addicted. We'll see.
What should I start with? I had a really nice day--a friend & I went to a coffee shop near her house and talked for many hours. Then I came home and made brownies--can't beat that. I wrote in my regular journal, then decided to take a crack at this one. I still have many words left, even after talking for hours today--amazing.
I have been thinking about a pretty big issue--trying to decide if it's appropriate to share here, on my very first entry. Well, why not--none of you know me except Sharm, and she compares me to Drew Barrymore (except for the drug rehab), so she won't be taken aback by drama. My ex-husband called me on Thursday, wanting to reconcile. It's a long story (obviously), but my gut reaction was "no". So today, my friend & I talkedabout how hard it is to listen to your heart and not settle for something that may be harmful, but feels familiar. Especially if you deep downbelieve itmay be all you'll ever have.
I am listening to a KEXP streaming archive--how fun. The "new technology" still amazes me--yes, I am older than dirt. Not really--I amat the low end of Gen X. Hmm...I just looked that up, to be sure, and apparently I am not. The low end is 1968--missed it by a few years. But I'm not a Boomer--I defy categorization, I guess.
Okay, I think that's enough for my first outing on LJ.Talk to you later--maybe.

You, like Drew, will always be a gen x-er in my heart.I can't believe he called you again. This is just getting odd. I don't know the details, but given what you've told me about your past, I agree with your friend. Stay put, scary and unfamilliar as that may be. And as my LF said to me, "God would be crazy not to give you as a gift to some man who is smart enough to recgognize you as such,"....or something like that...Who is this band you are listening to? I swear, you just keep on getting cooler and cooler.Oh and, WELCOME TO LJ! Your first post ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Hi. I'm a friend of Sharmy's. You and I met briefly at the Robert Deeble show at the Mars Bar a while back. I look forward to getting to know you.

I have seen the low end being as early as 1965. There may be overlap between buster and gen-x though.Nice to see you on the postings. Good for Charlemagne to get you to join in on the fun.

Too much Mars Hill--"LF" is from that world.

Yeah, I'm the origin of the fad. And by fad, I mean "feeling guiltless about face-time with friends because we all know what's going on in each others' lives on a daily basis".Though we all miss each other, I'm sure.Mostly it just means that I'm the geek, and if it should go wrong somehow, they'll be chasing me with pitchforks and torches. Nothing like a little excitement, eh?
