Fascinating...
Apr. 15th, 2003 02:01 pmJust stumbled upon the LJ account of my ex.
a) absolute shock that he *has* an LJ account. The degree of this shock is amazing, really. Somehow, not something I expected him to have...
*laugh* Of course, it's also not something I expected *I* would have, so I suppose I can't really say much. ;)
b) Reading it made me smile a lot. This fact made me happy. So I've added him as a friend. Not that he posts very often. Or, as I suppose I should say, not that he posts often that random un-friended people can read.
c) I was strongly reminded that I miss his friendship.
I recently invited him, along with bunches of other people, to a day of geekery that a friend suggested. The 'him' invite is because it's been the first thing I've done, since I realized that my memories don't hurt anymore, that I thought he'd be interested in. I hope that he does end up going, and that things are ok between us.
There've been things he's invited me to, but always either things I'm not interested in, or things I couldn't make. And I've seen him twice since I helped clean the old apartment last September (or was it late August?). But both times were brief and in passing. So, effectively, I've not seen him in 7 months.
More musings, but they belong in a separate post. So this one is done. :)

Date: 2003-04-16 08:30 am (UTC)a) you're probably less surprised that I have a LJ than I am.
b) I have a LJ primarily to read friends' LJs. I started posting daily minutiae because one too many people complained that there was nothing in mine, so I figured I'd make them wish they hadn't complained. That lasted a couple of days before I got too bored writing it, so now I just post more or less at random. :)
c) well, if you didn't live so far away, it might be easier to do something about that. :)

b) is actually why I have one, too. But I'm entirely too babbly to *not* babble on it. Which is part of why I took so long to get one. I spend too much time online as is! And friends have been known to not get replies to email for up to a month at this point. Excepting if they relate to planning something.
c) I could say the same of you! Then again, I spend most of my socializing time in Boston (technically, Somerville & JP), anyway. So my living location has little to do with my social activities.
