Yay, this is a relief! (for any randoms who are reading this and wondering WTF I'm going on about I had another journal but for various reasons decided to abandon it an start again)

I'm still getting things sorted as far as communities and stuff goes, I'm setting up all my filters now and I'm going to have an organized eljay this time around because my flist was a total disaster and I was always about 600 pages behind and despite the current state of my room, which would indicate otherwise, I actually like my life to be organized.

I'm going to be leaving this journal public for now, which may turn out to be a decision I regret but I'm all about being open right now (except of course with the people who I, you know, should be open with) and I think I've done a pretty good job of keeping myself anonomous as far as my profile and whatnot is concerned. And the people who I don't want adding me aren't the type who'll search me out, the only reason most of them were on my flist is because they knew me from elsewhere and at the time I was in a position where the whole sexuality thing was barely an issue, only about three or four months post-Meagan.

This feels like the right time to be starting afresh, I'm finally really comfortable with where I am in my life and where I am going, I love Melbourne, I love La Trobe University, I love my degree, for the first time (maybe even ever, it is hard to assess, I had friends in high school but I'm not sure if that was the result of any effort on my part) in a long time I'm making an effort to become socially involved and its beginning to pay off in the form of new friends, I'm less anxious (for the most part, just don't make me go higher than the second floor in a buliding, speak to and/or in front of people I'm not familiar with or drive a car and I'm fine, this for me is a vast improvement and I'm working on improving that stuff too), I want a new relationship, I'm feeling more creative than I have in at least a year, I guess the easiest wasy to sum this up is I'm happy, as in really, truly, deeply happy, of course I have my moments (generally as a direct result of being put into a position which causes my anxiety to flare) where I feel anything but happy but they are relatively rare.

I should probably be starting getting back to the assessment task I've been avoiding, by going to Chapel St. and buying myself new sunglasses (faux RayBan Wayfarers from Sportsgirl because whe cost of a real pair is about double my monthly expendable income) then going to Malvern and buying food (the best vanilla slices in the entire universe are available at Hootsens bakery on Glenferrie Rd) all day (or more realistically back to getting my filters sorted out and finding some good user pics or even cleaning my room.)

More soon and I actually mean that this time.

Also, I have a new creative journal for icon, fic and whatever else pops into my head, add oddz_and_enz if you are interested in that stuff.
