Also, hi Nilly! Always a pleasure to see your font!
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Trust my rage
Wayback me: I'm 28 and just lost my first pregnancy. Husband is deployed and i was desperate for human contact. Watching Buffy helped pull me out of my post miscarriage depression and so I go looking for more on the Internet. Eventually I find you all. I'm in my first year of law school, no kids, living in Colorado.
Current me: hi! I miss you all. I am again in Colorado. Now happily divorced. Ellie is 9 and Sammy is 2.5. Frisco is 6. My parents have moved in to my house and it has been transforming for all of us. We are planning to buy a larger house together. It's been wonderful for the kids. My 25yo friend Abby also lives with us. It's like a commune and I love it. My business is growing like crazy. I know have 4 employees. I'm struggling to be a good manager. That's not my strong suite (hate confrontation!!!) but I'm working on it. I recently went on a trip to rural Mexico and it was so beautiful. I'm kinda stressed (hello, insomnia) but I'm working on handling it better. I think it's part hereditary and part actual work. My life is mostly work and kids these days but I'm way less lonely than I used to be. I miss you all.

Wow, Stephanie! That's a life and a half!
So glad we found this place.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(hate confrontation!!!)
Um, isn't that kind of your business?

Our wings are not tired.
Confrontation on behalf of someone else and confrontation for yourself totally different for me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I kinda want a commune house. The next house I buy will probably be a split bedroom design so that I can ideally share with a single female friend.

Trust my rage
Laura, that's is 100% right on for me too. I'm a great advocate for other but suck at it for myself.
Mabelle, I love my commune. It actually has freed me to date, even if the date is not a dude I want to marry/help raise my kids. My kids are doing great, I have lots of fun and company at home, and dating is just for fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That all sounds so wonderful, Stephanie! Good to read.

That sounds awesome! I want my sister to make a commune, she's joked about it, but not in Indiana.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Me too! It sounds wonderful. My BFF and I have talked seriously about buying a house with two master suites or something that we can share. In Nashville, I had a big house, and there were always three or four people living with me, and I liked it. We were all introverts, so it worked. I like living alone, but it does get lonely. And scary, sometimes.
