politicky

Alright! You guys get another ramble from me, this time courtesy of Naruto 283.

It's not one of those things you can just look at and say, "of course that's how it is," because it's not immediately obvious. It may not have originally been planned that way, even. But the instant I was aware of Elders, my suspicions came alert, and I'm beginning to think that I'm right. In which case, I've got the politics of Konoha pretty much down, because I know what they're modeled after.

like it were yesterday

Going back through ollllllllllld ooooooooooooolld posts (pick your preferred spelling, ladies and gents) and giving them tags because I'm like that - may go back another time and reassign the occasional icon too - and because I was aware that I'd found it before I was aware of it happening again.

The beginning of college (which is when I started lj) - well, looking back on it and reading things over hurts, because it was all so bright and intense and... yeah.

First premonition of the fall: October 11th. I complain about people not being able to hear if trouble comes.

Second time, it's homesickness: October 18th. People pass by an open doorway and pay no attention to tears.

October 20th is the first dark post. I wonder about abandonment issues.

And after that, none of my posts have ever been as bright. What's painful now is watching my younger self slide into depression.
