better than mischief.

the following is from something i wrote on another blog, but i wanted to post part of it here, too. i want this reminder of this magical thing, this gift, this experience i had that actually, literally, changed my life. it isn't often you can pinpoint a single event that picks you up and puts you back down facing a brand new direction, and it's even more rare when that event is something wonderful.




i'm glad i've been a part of this, i'm glad i've had the chance to become friends with people from around the world without leaving my chair. i'm on a completely different path than i would have been, and though it's rocky right now, i'm glad to be heading in this new direction.

and i'm very glad to have been able to read your posts, all of them -- the scary ones, the silly ones, the stories, the riddles, the beautiful prose, and the beautiful poetry.

you're the author of this blog; you started it, and the ending belongs to you.


and so i'll be hanging out here until then (because i'm kind of silly loyal like that) and when i'm not here on this comfy ol' couch of yours i'll be out exploring that new beginning i found here.

hope you did, too.

take care, my friend. good night, and sweet dreams.
