dear diaryland,
i know this might seem sudden, and in a way it is. but in another way, it's not. you see, i haven't been exactly satisfied with you for a while. in the beginning, two and a half years ago, you were new and exciting and i couldn't get enough of you. but as time went on, you became increasingly unavailable. i would ask to add an entry, and you would sigh, turn away from me, and say, "maybe later." i couldn't count on you anymore. i tried different angles, some funny, some sad, i switched your template at least three or four times, hoping to find some of the old magic rekindled, but to no avail. it became clear that the problem with us was more than skin deep. there was something wrong, and a little html wasn't going to fix it this time.

you see, i'm older now. my needs and my dreams are different now. i'm practically a grownup and i've got to think about my future. what i want is to be a writer, a real, professional, published writer, and i feel i need a professional blog that represents that. i think i've found that blog.

there. i said it. i've found another blog, a blog where i can always update, where my slate is clean and my future undetermined. don't cry - we went through a lot together, and i'll always be linked to you, but at some point i have to move on. that point is now.

if you want to look me up, please, stop by. it's christinehennessey.blogspot.com. and remember, this is not goodbye.

it's just so long for now.

yours,
chrissy
