It's two years since I started this blog. Here is the entry from two years ago today:
I wonder if I have to remove my navel piercing to properly navel gaze
The good things are still true. Some of the needs-work category still needs work. I probably still have this need to be loved, but I AM beloved by my Cliffle and life is good, so I'm not going to worry about that. :) I just picked up my violin today, actually, and my fingers hurt now but there was a while there where I actually sounded like a musician again. I have a job I like -- I don't know if I'm always going to do the accountant thing, but it's working for me right now, so check. And am I still afraid? I don't know. If I am, I'm currently comfortable with it. And yes, I am still short. ;-) Even shorter now since I can't wear heels since my surgery!
I still need work. I want to excel at things again. It feels good to be playing my violin again -- I've found a lapsed cellist, and we are using each other as inspiration to play, which helps. :) I'm wavering on the bellydancing: some days I love it and some days I feel it's time to try something new. Guitar Hero still doesn't count.
People talk about "finding your niche." It's as if my niche were a Jeannette-shaped hole in the ground that I just have to somehow track down and lay down in and stay there forever. I don't think there is one niche for me anymore. I think there are several fits for me out there, and I have found some, and some are yet to be discovered, and I'm just not going to freak out about it anymore.

In other news, check out Heid and Jeannette Go To Tokyo! Heidi and I have decided to begin having world adventures, and Tokyo is our first stop! We invite you to join us on our journey. We'll both be posting there as we save up for our trip (hence the Google ads; every $0.20 will help, right?). So stop by, check it out; hopefully it will stay somewhat interesting. ;-) Thanks!

Do I know Heidi? I assume she is cool since you are friends with her (a transitive property, you know), but I don't know if I actually know her. Oh, wait, I don't. But she's the one that visited for your b-day.
Indeed.
Heidi is a rock star and I'm sure you two would love each other, if I can manage to ever get you in the same room. ;-)
