in which a favor is gratefully acknowledged and a manifesto is pondered

I feel this terrible need to be scintillating.

However, in lieu of that, I want to say that jess79 rocks beyond the ability of mere words to express. Thanks for the LJ code. (And also thanks to heres_luck for stumping on my behalf.)

I'm still working out what exactly it is I'm going to use this thing for. Starting a journal (paper, electronic, private, public) is one of those liminal moments that begs for melodramatic gestures and rash promises--which are, of course, hideously embarrassing when reread in cold blood. But there are some things I want to articulate for myself about what I'm doing here. When I'm feeling a little less melodramatic, I'll post them.

Watch this space.
