Unemployed in Greenland

I came back because I felt I should clarify why I'm leaving here.  I'm an anxious person, and an obsessive person.  I'm getting tired of my fixations with facebook and livejournal.  They make me act in ways that are passive aggressive, unkind, and unhealthily obsessive.  I recently had to block my HS friend's status updates because they were making me really upset.  I can't delete facebook without losing touch with hundreds or people, and I rarely update this anymore.
I want my friends to say what they feel, even when I feel I can't handle it at that specific moment.  I'll probably just delete my journal for good in another day or so.  I'm sure I'm being a bit dramatic, but, well, case in point.  I'm trying to what's best for me.

So, the deal is that I've basically stopped updating this thing, but I'm still reading my friend's pages.  I'm hoping you'll all do me the favor of keeping me added so that I can keep up with your lives.  If not, though, I understand.  Meanwhile, in the interest of doing some more "real "writing, the blogging party has moved over to libraryrat.wordpress.com, and I hope you'll all check in from time to time.  Most of it will be library related, with some other stuff thrown in.

For anyone who's still interested, I've started a more formal blog at libraryrat.wordpress.com.  I'll mostly be blogging about library stuff, but I'm throwing in some other things.  I promise I won't be emo.

New Madison photos on flickr.

Another fave.

Maybe my favorite of the set.

More flowers at Olbrich Gardens, in the conservatory.

So, most of you know that my digital camera went everywhere with me, especially during my semester in Ireland. When it disappeared from my backpack last Spring, I went back to film for awhile. But I decided I had punished myself enough, so I got myself a new little friend. It was a lot of money for me to spend, but seems to have been well worth it so far. It handles a little differently than my Nikon and is a little more sensitive, but takes fantastic pictures. So, I am a happy little nerd today.
