0) I told you before, but it bears repeating, so as to impress it upon others -- you never have to apologize for leaving comments -- I don't care if you feel you have nothing important or 'intelligent' or pertinent enough. I don't care if it looks like we have a Discussion going, and you just want to make a comment on something else that was said. I don't care if you start talking (as Mel has done) with each other -- I encourage that a lot, actually. I don't even care if you just make a REALLY random, off the wall kinda "I like Pickled Beets" comment -- I'm a bit goofy, myself, from time to time. The point is, all comments of all kinds are welcome. Should the need arise, I'll delete comments, but you all shouldn't worry about that. And I ask that you not delete your own comments (unless it's an accidental multi-post or something) because it all ADDS to my journal, and I like to keep that sorta stuff around. A man is often measured by the company which he keeps -- and I like my company.
1) LOL I'm glad. ^_^;; Like I said, I felt this discussion said a lot about my personal philosophy, and it's nice to hear that people think it's worthwhile.
2) LOL As Mel said, you can make and keep that promise to yourself regardless of how young you are. It's actually better the earlier you decide it, I think, because then you can say "No, this is what I want, and I'm going to stick by it." I think you're a very intelligent girl for making the choice, and I'm not a big fan of 'experience.' You don't have to stick your hand in a fire to know it'll burn you -- you can take the word of other people.
3) -giggles- You know, when I have this family of mine, regardless of how large or how small, you two ladies are definitely going to have to expect not just pictures, but all-out family visits. -nods-
4) If you apologize again, I will have to seriously tickle you. -nods solemnly- I know where you live, Girl.
Have you ever noticed I can be long-winded at times...?
