embarrassing beyond belief.

Well, this is maybe embarrassing, but Kim posted a few excerpts from her old livejournal to mark her 1,000th post on her new blog, and I went and looked back at my own and read back for a while. I was thinking about sharing it, but not sure, but then I found nineteen year-old me's top-five list of animals which was:

1. cows
2. pandas
3. highland cows
4. puffins
5. hippos, maybe.

I was so very certain on that last one.

This time around, I didn't include highland cows as a separate animal, and I think it's fair to say they are cows for the purposes of generating a top five. I do like puffins, but I think I like farm animals more. Anyway, I am going to share a link to my livejournal with y'all because I have no shame. Enjoy. I was so super earnest and over-analytical. Maybe I am still those things, but I have to think that if I am, it's to a lesser extent. I'll even link y'all to a few favorite posts. Oh my goodness.

The weird thing is that sharing this doesn't feel so super personal because I feel like I'm a rather different person now than I was then.
