Hello Everything2.
When I checked in for my "once a decade" login about a month ago, I did not think I'd be noding again. Like it says in my homenode, ya'll intimidate the crap outta me. I've never been a writer. I've never even been much of a communicator. I'm more likely to give you a cool rock if I want to get to know you than walk up and say hello.
But that is neither here nor there.
I am trying not to run away from this place due to my lack of desire to write. I love it here. I consistantly get lost while wandering from node to node, drinking in the stories, poetry and facts. I am just not interested in being eloquent. Or heard. But I am fifty years old, and I am challenging myself to try something old, try something new, steal something borrowed and kill something blue.
I want to say thank you to Everything2. I still have friends from here that I met when this place was overcrowded with noders. And the folks who are here now have been so welcoming. It's been an incredible journey. And I appreciate it. Thanks for inspiring me. Thanks for just saying hi.
I am glad to be here.
