( Like a goddamned yo-yo. Seriously. )
By the way, I'm not sleeping well lately which isn't good for the obvious tiredness issue, but on the plus side, I'm dreaming more which is not something I usually do! For some reason my dreams all involve people I haven't seen in ages. The first one involved you, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jamjar! You'd dyed your hair red and permed it a little. There was also a kitten involved. Last night was mikkeneko who was visiting me on Nakajima again -- bet you loved that. There was a white tabby cat involved. Who will it be tonight, I wonder?

I was going to write about my weekend and about how hauling camping gear around while wearing a yukata in a rainstorm is not an ideal situation; neither is going shopping in your summer dress while carrying said backpack and a full bag of groceries.
INSTEAD I JUST WANT TO SAY YES THIS! MAY BE EVEN BETTER THAN THE ESSAY ON THE BRONTES I ONCE READ ENTITLED 'WHY CHARLOTTE DISSED EMILY!' Kate Beaton is my hero!

I have not actually posted here in ages. There's a reason for that, and it's not a good reason, so I apologise for that (more on this later, maybe).
Yesterday, I was forcing Emily to give me the details of all the fun JET goings-ons on facebook when I suddenly realised that forcing her to spoonfeed me details was both mean and counterproductive, so I put my deeply held resolutions and prejudices outside and joined facebook. I feel like less of a person, but on the plus side I've already been contacted by a girl I haven't seen since I left Sendai! Exciting. Less exciting were the photos she's tagged me in -- I am no longer thinking of cutting my hair short.
However, facebook's photo uploading is amazingly streamlined and I have photos of what I got up to this weekend on facebook. I walked 10+ km from temple 51 to temple 52 along the henro path, deviating only slightly when I got lost (this happened often). It was pretty cool, actually, and Taisanji, my destination temple was great. Unfortunately, by the time I got there I was too exhausted to properly appreciate it -- I don't think I'm up to walking to every temple. While I was at Taisanji, however, I saw only one guy arrive on foot. Another guy arrived by bike, then we had about five cars of pilgrims show up. I decided to take a more flexible approach, called a taxi, asked to go to the onsen. Hey, my pilgrimage, my rules. My feet are still aching but yes -- it was a morning well spent, I feel.
People who know more about facebook then me: Is it possible to share that album with my lj friends without going through that ridiculous 'invite a friend' rigamarole? Or am I better off going to another picture sharing site? What are my options?
ETA: Thank you guys!
