So, I posted something in another thread, and it got me thinking about a thread I had started long ago. And I was wondering... am I contradicting myself, or has my opinion just changed over time... not a contradiction but an evolution. SO... I went to track that old thread down. Now, compared to Lorelei. or Mara or Kaleigh.. I've got NO post count. But... I'm chatty
. So I get the brilliant idea (at after midnight) to go hunt up that old thread. Not knowing even WHEN (like what YEAR even) I posted it... so I click on my own profile and started flipping back though my old threads (not posts, that would have been silly... *snort*). Through my wedding planning, through my job change, though my cross country move (and the drive!), through my mom's surgeries, through my setting search....
Has anyone other "chatty" poster done that? It's really like a photoalbum in words. It was so weird to read my old posts, surprising a lot of it actually. So many things I don't even remember now, daily things, that when I read them made me smile or wince or ... just read as if it was about someone else.
It's so weird. It was like I was outside of myself, watching someone else's life (not in total, but well, a lot of it and especially a lot of the 'big' events both good and bad) unfold. And no, I didn't find that old thread... stopped looking for it, and just started reading about me (sounds really concieted put like that) but it was like looking the mirror, and well, I was surprised at what I saw, and no, not always happy or proud of what was there and what it said about me, but it did help me see things as if through an outsider's eyes.
Very strange. Admittedly, it could be the later hour too.
Anyway, just HAD to post about it... cause you know... I'm chatty.
