over my shoulder @ lj
listening to:
i've been doing a lot of complaining lately, & i must say that, as nice as it is to have a place to complain, it's also nice to come over here to these nice crisp pages & take a break from it (and from the sometimes over-syruped silliness that populates those columns & quizzes to balance out the worst of the bad attitudes). but.
there are a few little threads about hearts & folk singers & snowflakes that i don't want left in one place or another, but i want instead to carry, wear like sweater-wool against the cold, woven into everywhere i go. obviously, i haven't quite gotten the hang of this multiple-venued multiple-audience multiple-blog business. i suspected it was a bad idea all along, but conflating in either direction still sounds like a worse one.
(they're prettier from the mainpage, but only for brave waders through fluff & bitterness)
this weekend i have both found-again old friends & made new ones, and that is a damn fine accomplishment to claim. the stack of books i've ignored to do so doesn't make me the slightest bit guilty right now. ask me again in the morning.

Not only do you remind me regularly about the joy to be found in teaching, you also remind me about the value of friendships, of working to make and keep them. It's been hard for me to maintain contact with friends back home, and I feel that drift. You make me want to do better, in both my new friendships and my established ones. :)
