It's just things going on with some of the people here. I am sick of rumours and gossip, so I'm removing myself from them, as thoroughly as I ccan, having gained a new appreciation for my solitude and privacy. Of course, the obvious solution would be to delete the journal, but I don't really feel like doing that, as I have a few people for whom this is their main way of contacting me. And i do enjoy writing in it, as if nothing else, it is writing, and I rather like the idea of describing, as accurately as possible, the life of a non-mainstream person in this society. hubris maybe, but I like the idea of being a document for some future historian.
