xp_daytripperI've been a bit quiet lately, but that's mainly because I've been moving around a bit, and a lot of the places I've been I couldn't get at the journal system. But I got the boys to rig the PDA they gave me for Christmas so I can get in from wherever I am. Mainly because today's a sort of important day. Well, for me, any way.
If you flick back through my journal to this time last year, you'll find a really badly-spelled first post. Yeah, a year ago today I turned up at the school, and promptly made a nuisance of meself. *wry grin* There's been a lot that's happened since then, and surprisingly, I'm not about to say it was all bad, or even mostly bad. Because being at the school... well, it saved my life. True it risked it in more ways than one, but at least at the school I know I have a chance at a future. Where I was, where I come from? I'd probably have been dead by now.
The other thing the last year's given me is family. Not the people I'm going to meet up with soon, the ones who brought me into the world, but the ones I think of as family. I don't need to make a list - they know who they are. It still amazes me sometimes, how much a difference having people you care about in your life makes. It was bloody hard to let people in, after the run I've had, but it's worth it, it really is. I hope people can say the same of me.
