I see so many folks here, and it seems like many just aren’t having fun. Doing it like junkies, they write and write, and get no relief, or worse, feel even more poorly then when they began.

Too many politics, too much whining. Mind you, you’re free to do what you like in your journal, but it seems that some of the shiny happy people have fallen away, leaving a lot of bitter, immature folks behind, with only a few shining gems amongst them. Many folks could learn from them… at least how to be a little happier.

To you Gems, I say *THANK YOU* for being here. I can think of one pearl in particular who has always got something interesting and/or entertaining to say…in fact there’s a few.

Speaking of gems, Mootpoint is back, as is Nashata.Grand. 🙂 I’m seeing an improvement already. If we could drag cider nback in, we’d have all 3 I was missing. 🙂

By the way, why does maryland seem to have so many cool LJ people?

blackhellkat,foom23, ktm, laurak, sweetalyssm… all marylanders, and all Gems.

Maybe that’s how I’ll spotlight folks… by region…

Phew.. Canada is chock-full of dear folk, too. I’ve only found a couple of nifty Floridians (but there are some)… yipe! time for me to lock up and head home. maybe I’ll continue this thought later, and upload some more piccies. 🙂
