I love the photo of that white tat on your back/neck area. I had never seen a one like that before, and it's well, pretty.
PLEASE don't leave LJ. I am trying to be more faithful writing on it myself and replying to others. I think there is a lot more freedom and space with LJ than twitter. I find that out of all the social networking places I have visited, the people on LJ are the most creative and thoughtful with what they write. Between all my e-mail accounts, facebook people (I never post there but apparently everyone else on planet earth does) and LJ I can't keep up.
