It won't be long before we'll all be there with

My eyes tell me that it's a snow-covered wonderland outside, but my mind doesn't believe it. I think we got about eight inches of snow yesterday, which is weird, because I could have sworn that we had a high of 54 on Monday. Hm.

The red buds on the trees give the snow something to cling to, so there are large tufts of white on all the branches. On the ledge outside my bedroom window, there is a single line of bird footprints sunk into the snow. The birds' chirps echo differently this morning.

My roommate left for Florida yesterday, and her mother picked up her dog last night, so I have a rare and blissful solitude today. I can leave my bedroom door open without fear that my things will get gnawed on. I can come downstairs without having to pay attention to a very wiggly dog. Ahhh.

Given LJ's capacity to shrink to a community the size of a pin, I thought it ideal to add you. I'm oceanic's friend from college, your lovely suitor freak1c recently be-friended me, you hang out with the associative circle of folks from my elementary school friend patashoqua's friends, I grew up in NYC, and I like your writing.
So, hi, thought I'd let you know I'm reading.

What an introduction! It's very good to meet you. I've noticed you in these circles as well, and was about a day away from be-friending you. So welcome to my LJ, and hello!

Yay!! I came to LJ once upon a time to escape people I knew in real life and quickly found it a far better networking tool than an avoiding tool. I still resent that slightly, but I know so many more fabulous people now (you and yours included). Nice to officially meet you... =)

It's funny -- I came to LJ to connect with my real-life friends near and far, and I was pleasantly surprised when I started meeting wonderful LJ people I'd never met before. It was an even bigger surprise when I met them in person and they were Completely Delightful.
