The end of an era...

Well, if you haven't already guessed by now, I haven't been active on LiveJournal for a long while. 22-weeks since my last update. My "paid account" expired yesterday, and I've made the decision to not renew.

LiveJournal was a great way of expressing myself and meeting new people over the past 5 years. I've found a new way of expressing myself and connecting with friends and family: "Facebook"


I won't be deleting my journal... just not going to be keeping it updated, or even pretend that I'm still active in it now.

I have lots of great memories and friends from LJ:
bassbear - a cutie and his student quotes-of-the-day were always great to read
bearpawly - his coming-out and many of his great entries have deeply affected me
bigfundrew - his humor and family are so much a part of him and it shows (now on Facebook too)
jkusters - always there to listen and give a hug (now on Facebook too)
kev_bot - so smart and witty, truly an amazing guy (now on Facebook too)
labelsdc - this fashionista and I are life-long friends now (now on Facebook too)
shadowbearmn - the cats and humor and wit, and thanks for the pokes
texaspenguin - he made it through medical school and kept his smile
thepup & cactusbear - so great to meet these guys in AZ, so much fun!
thereisnofear - the sexxy, fun, and talented Kendall

If I haven't already, someday I hope to meet all of you in-person. I'll keep an eye out for you, and if you're on Facebook, be sure to "friend me".

[Edit: I just read through a bunch of friends posts. Facebook isn't the same... I do admit to missing LJ... reading & writing the entries here is much more creative... but... it also takes more time to read / write than a one-line status. Work has been busy, priorities change, etc.]
