I just had a slightly surreal moment when I looked at my "friend of" list and saw that it had leaped up by about ten people. I blinked. Then I blinked again. Then I blinked a third time. (Um, I just woke up an hour ago after sleeping for 12 hours and having dreams of... all kinds of things. It was some weird stuff.

I like that! I should put that on my list!")

anyway, I haven't really gotten around to adding people yet; that may take me a few days. I am a tired bunny with lots of schoolwork that needs to be done (and, er, a batch of people to check out for
