I've been reading some of my old LJ posts, and it's striking to me how much of a better writer I was back when I was in college, writing regularly for classes in addition to stuff on the web.

If anyone's curious, here are some good posts about 5th grade, my car, and a strange Christmas encounter. The latter is one of the best things I've ever written, if not the best. There was also a fun picture post, too.

Sorry, I just saw this comment now for some reason.

4 years ago I couldn't move out. No money and no steady job. Moving out has only been a realistic goal for a year or so.

not to sound like we're ganging up or anything, but well... I was making a pittance when I moved to philly, had just spent a bunch of money to pick up and switch cities on a 3-day notice, and still managed to move out of my mom's house within 3 months. Sometimes it's hard to get yourself moving (I know, it's a problem I have too), but ultimately, if you really wanted to move out, you'd have moved out by now.

Not that I don't think you should move out now... I'm just saying, if it were something you felt strongly about, you'd have done it by now.

Well, yeah, I didn't mean to imply that it was physically impossible for me to have moved out then. But it would have been financially irresponsible.
