So, as you can see below there was a bit of craziness going on earlier this week. I'm not a comment deleter, because I'm all for people taking responsibility for their words and if they choose to say something in response to what I write, then they're also opening themselves up to a public forum.

I will say this, though - on a site as small as mine, posting as "Anonymous" really does not do much to conceal one's identity. Posting as "Anonymous" and then later posting under one's real name kind of just makes one look a little silly, and desperate for attention.

Although it did provide me with a boatload of hilarity at work.

This week has also brought me back in touch with Mat, an ex-boyfriend who I dated spring and summer of 2005 - things ended roughly and it took me a while to kind of pick myself back up from it all, but he seems a bit more level-headed now. And we'd always had so much to talk about. It's good to be able to reconnect, and we realized that we didn't really communicate as well as we could have back then; we walked away from the situation with the completely wrong impression of each other, as well as how we felt about each other during the relationship.

Oh, how young we were.

Also - my friend Sam, from Australia, whom I was so excited about being in NYC, has just finished his trip here and I think is headed back to Australia today. I did not receive one phone call from him, and obviously did not see him. I'm confused, disgruntled, and frankly annoyed about it - I don't even know how to elaborate past that. Much of my anxiety stems from things not happening when I expect them to, and for him to keep me waiting around to hear from him for two weeks with nothing but an email promising he would call yet no followup, is pretty shitty.

But other than that, I'd say the new year is off to a very fascinating start.
