Firstly, before we get to the important stuff (and yes, I am reading LJ in reverse, because sometimes I'm like that), COWBOYS!!! and that Haldoor taunted you... hee.
The change thing... well, I think Kaige put it most succinctly, and I agree with you both. We all change - I've even changed my opinion about tea and coffee in this last year, so how not about bigger things? If things make you think, delve deeper, and yes, in some cases, change your opinion, well, so be it. You've learned, you've grown, and just as you said, you're probably a better person for it. And I didn't see what your friend did either, but then we all see what we want to, I guess.
Your ability to read and write and keep up with your busy life continues to amaze me. I have no idea how you do it. I have hardly read anything in the last few weeks, but to be fair, I did go on an overseas holiday, and when I wasn't sight-seeing around your marvellous state, I was sleeping. HA! Since I've been home I've mainly been focusing on Christmas card making, so I guess that's an excuse too... but not a very good one.
On the other hand, I am also ahead on my yearly goal for books! 25 out of 24 read! WOOT! I didn't raise the bar very high though... still, I'm attempting to get through the 8 or so lying around that I own and haven't read, even though I didn't even know it was OWNtober! That does not explain why I just added another free one to my Kindle *shifty eyes*, but we'll just say I'm saving them up for when I have no other options. HA.
I so want to write too, but I haven't yet figured out how to make that happen regularly in the new house. We've only been here 15 months now... what the hell? I blame menopause, because it's what I do. Before that, I had this HUGE URGE (to write! before your brain goes elsewhere) almost all the time, and ideas flowed more freely than water, but in the last couple of years... not so much. DAMMIT, I need to just open one of my WIPs and go for it.
And with that, I will stop hijacking your journal. Thank you, and good afternoon (or it will be in 13 minutes). *ding*
