I have a brown thumb and felt like I had nothing to offer. But, I kept coming back. Then , you wrote an entry about wanting to go to school and I thought maybe I had something I could contribute. It's been down hill since then (LOL! Just kidding). Actually, you are one of my faves. <br><br>Funny, I always considered myself a rebel and a "go against the grain" kind of person, but I've been a joiner all my life. However, I don't think joining defines you as part of an unthinking mob mentality, nor does the groups you choose to join define who you are as a person. I think it might reveal a small component but it can't possibly define all of you. In addition, it's the motivation that matters not what you are a part of and how you treat those not part of whatever it is that you are a part of. <br><br>:-) ---Robbie<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-32246621804403594252004-08-05T09:27:00.000-07:002004-08-05T09:27:00.000-07:00This is wonderful, Lisa.

I've been a joiner, sometimes it was because it was expected of me, sometimes because it was what I wanted. There's still something in me though, that as conventional as I look, always manages to fun against the tide. I love that people read and comment on my journal. I came very close to getting too emotionally invested in caring about awards and recognition. Yet what I love the most about the journals is the honesty that isn't meant to please an audience and the glimpses of real people that we see here. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-25419357723848556712004-08-05T11:03:00.000-07:002004-08-05T11:03:00.000-07:00I'm so glad you became a "joiner." ...I'm so glad you became a "joiner."

Your political slant is great; I'm not politically active but I'm ready to vote for Anyone save Bush! I was in none of the cliques or groups of which you speak. I'm not sure what I was; I only know I was very different from most I shared the high school experience with. At most, my husband says I was a "choir geek". If so, that was totally cool and one of the best experiences of my life. I love your journal, Lisa. I love that you read and comment on mine, all two of them. I think I'd like to meet you sometime.

I don't think of it as something I "joined", but a place I fell into....a neighborhood....a group of caring friends. I hope you're here for a good long time. You would certainly be missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-73243754300461410322004-08-12T23:50:00.000-07:002004-08-12T23:50:00.000-07:00I am so glad you are here.

I know the joy in having other people read you--it took four months for me to get comments!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
