[So, here’s the plan: I’m pretty much just going to write word-for word whatever I wrote at the time. These bolded, bracketed comments are my thoughts from now, July 2011, looking back at whatever I wrote then.
Also: as always, I will appreciate comments, but I’m not sure I’ll be responding like I traditionally do. I dunno, commenting on comments on a journal post from the past that I’m also commenting on… at that point it all just gets a little meta, don’t you think?

The GeekHiker 
Well, as much as I can know a person from their persona, I have to say I like geekhiker, but I really like who you are. I hope that as we learn more about you in these past few months we’ll also discover that life is sucking a whole lot less for you!

This is starting to sound like a great novel (although it’s real, but all great art is based on real life, right?). Thanks for letting us go on this journey (or walk down memory lane for now) with you.
