Aug. 31st, 2005

More icons. In fact, so many icons I had to sacrifice a few that I wasn't really using. First one is up on the post. Then, in no particular order:

This is all

talyesin's fault.

Current Mood: accomplished

I can’t begin to wrap my mind around what’s happening to New Orleans. It seems unreal to me, so far away. Yet part of me mourns for the city I visited so long ago and wanted so badly to go back to. There was something beautiful and old and sacred about the place when I was there, and memories of the bayou still haunt me.

I can’t believe that the city might be abandoned to its fate. I don’t want to believe that I’ll never have the chance to walk through its cemeteries, to wander through its streets and marvel at how large the trees are.

I wonder, too, whether the people I knew there with whom I long ago fell out of touch are all right, whether they are among the hundreds of dead, whether they left the city in time or are stranded somewhere amidst the devastation. Although I haven’t spoken to them in twelve years, I wish that there was some way I could tell them that, in a small and insignificant way, I grieve with them for the loss of their home.

New Orleans is meant to feature a lot in my serial. It feels odd that I may be writing about a city that no longer exist, when I get to it.

Current Mood: nostalgic and sad

Well,

talyesin and

karine did it, so why shouldn't I? Sadly, mine got long, so I'll put it behind a cut.

( Where was I all those years ago? )

In other words, 2005 is proving to be a year of transitions. Stay tuned, because in three and a half years’ time, you won’t find me here anymore.

Current Mood: pensive

And here I was worried a while back that I wouldn't be able to fit 100 icon slots. Hah! I remember having the same anxiety when I went from 3 to 10, then 10 to 15, then 15 to 45. I had no anxiety about 45 to 50. ;)

I have too many icons that I love! Waaaah! I sacrificed some for the New!Shiny!Firefly icons I made today. :)
