Dec. 7th, 2005 01:30 pmSo apparently LJ has fixed their comment email notification problem....
So anyone who didn't email confirmations are recieving them now.
So what does that mean for those of us who are addicted to LJ and keep up with it more than we probably should?
I am now getting comment emails for entries from forever ago and I keep getting excited that I have a new comment, but it's actually comments I already got excited about getting. So then I am let down everytime.
Anyways....enough of my internet addictions.
So I'm housesitting for Drew and Orme over @ 14th and Market, which means for a week I don't have to commute to Albany unless I want to. Which I don't.
Last night I watched, for the 3rd time (once, then once with commentary the next day, then again last night) Torch Song Trilogy with Matt since he had never seen it.
I'm so in love with that movie and can't believe it had slipped under my radar for so long. Harvey Fierstein is AMAZING in that movie, as well as Ann Bancroft.
Tragically I identified with Harvey's character "Arnold" and it got me thinking.
And since thinking usually gets me in trouble, I will save that for another day. When it's rainy. And gray. And I'm all mushy.
But after the movie, walking back to 14th and Market, I was overwhelmed with this feeling that I'm having trouble describing.
But I'll try.
It was that feeling when you suddenly realize where you are in life, and everything around you is moving, but still at the same time. And you find yourself taking in all the sounds, while taking deep deep breaths through your nose and smiling.
All the stores, the trains, the xmas trees for sale, the people holding hands.
I said outloud, "I'm in San Francisco. I'm in San Francisco and I'm not visiting. I'm here."yes, I talk to myself. And I'm ok with that.
Which to you guys who have been here for years probably sounds stupid, but for me, having San Francisco only be a concept in music, tv, movies, and stories up until now...
It all hit me at once that I am on the other side of the country from what I found familiar....and that I am ok with that.
I didn't think I would be, but I am.
It's going to be a long road, but I have never been more ready for it in my entire life.
There I go getting mushy and I said I would save that for another day. Oh the ramblings of a 23 yr old just starting out. Booooorrrrring.
Thinking about all this makes me want to cuddle and take a nap with someone. Ah the Christmas season.
