memory lane

the other day i decided to tag some entries from the first year i had this journal. it was engrossing - i'm pretty sure i found some of the first entries i ever made about
wax_jism, for instance, in the first month we were chatting together, and excerpts from some of my first chats with
hollsk. i also found this photo, taken in summer 2000. it survived as most of the images i posted back then didn't because it was hosted on
kitten_head's webspace and not mine:

i'm on the left, followed by my cousins amanda,
kitten_head, and kyndra. we were 18 and 17 when this was taken.
i haven't spoken to kyndra in over a year or amanda or
kitten_head in about a month; i haven't seen any of my extended family since 2003. i miss them all a lot. sometimes i wonder if i will ever see them again.
in other news, i've watched the first three episodes of hikaru no go. i am happy to report that the slashiness started around the thirteenth minute of play, which isn't bad considering it's about twelve year olds. less happy to report that the style in which hikaru is drawn is irritatingly unpleasant for me to look at, but i suppose one can't have everything.

Date: 13 Jul 2006 07:10 pm (UTC)I often wonder the same thing about my paternal extended family. My dad doesn't live anywhere near the rest of his family, and rarely visits them, especially now that my grandmother died. The only times I'd see them would be when I went to Cleveland to see my grandma, but obviously I can't do that anymore.

The artists is also the same one who drew Death Note, though that's ended now, too. I hope whatever he starts next will be as good (he's not the author for either of these, just collaborating as the artist).

LOTR just lent itself so so well to rps. nothing will be that good.
