Memories

It's a strange, quiet time of year right now. Perhaps the shortening days start to make people introspective? I've been thinking a bit the past few days about relationships, and how easy it can be for people to slip out of your life accidentally. I left my old blog because it felt weird to be there anymore, but that cut me off from some very cool people, and I've been missing them lately. So in memory of LJ, I'm going to do something I haven't done here before, a meme! This was taken from Ken , originally from here
