i'm back!

Well. I've actually been back since late Saturday the 28th-ish, but it's taken me this long to get back into the swing of things vis-a-vis keeping up on Twitter, Facebook, LJ, etc. I know that prolly makes me sound shallow, but I don't care - I use those networks as tools. That's all they are. Tools. They're damned pretty tools, and I'd be sad to lose them, but in the end they're nothing without the people behind them. 

*cough* Anyway, I've decided I may not end up making a generally comprehensive post about the road trip - in fact I may never.  But I will try to post pieces of conversations, AIM conversations and conversations over Facebook or LJ especially, about the trip....I prolly won't post any pictures because this blog is the most into-the-darkness of all the sites I'm on - I basically don't know any one of the people who reads this personally. It's simultaneously a good and a scared feeling to have, this feeling of living on the edge, wind in my face, and just not caring one damned bit.

...yes, I know it's pathetic to a certain degree to declare posting on a not-really-anonymous blog 'living on the edge,' but I get so many people telling me over and over again to be cautious in my writing and who I share what with that this feeling of throwing caution to the wind is just so exhilarating and freeing.  

Anyway, in other news - human ingenuity fascinates me o.o
