Second, I only strayed from here because I was starting to feel totally out of place. As silly as it may sound, I strayed because I felt that I had nothing in common with anyone here. Everyone here seemed so secure in their general lives while I was totally unsure as to what the future held for me. I now realize that was a silly reason to pull away from everyone.
And I want to say at this time that I bear absolutely no ill will towards anyone here at all.
Plus there was the whole femme withdrawal thing, the construction thing, and the 7-day-workweek-retail-pre-Xmas-madness thing.
Thank God that's all over!! The doorway is complete, Christmas has passed, and I can relax again.
Third, some of you may have had the misfortune to witness some very ugly exchanges between myself & a few others in other forums - but let us remember that those are other forums that do not uphold the same level of respectability that this forum always has. You're more likely to curse & swear when in a biker bar than you would at a brunch or a wedding. Think about that one for a minute.
I am happy to report that all is well in 2005 - I'm employed (finally, yayyyy) and am finally taking a vacation in April! Going to Diva Las Vegas...
I miss you all and I hope that you are doing well! And to those of you whom I may have either hurt or offended, I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive this crazy NY gal... but some say that my insanity is part of my charm...
Last year I felt anguish. This year I am feeling nothing but LOVE.
Lorna!
