1) You should definitely check out Dre's LJ. He writes a lot about video games, music, and his day to day life. I don't play a lot of video games (and I certainly don't play the same types of video games he plays when I *do* play video games) but I find it enjoyable to read his LJ because he writes really passionately and with a lot of nuance. If you check out his LJ, go back through the last month or so. He did a series of LJ posts where he talks about his 50 top albums of the last decade. I think that is a perfect example of his writing and I think he writes more knowledgeably and provocatively than most music mag writers, tbh. Anyway, have fun there!
2) That is a really good question - whether or not the enormity of some of those events comes through to people that haven't been around you as long. I think you conveyed the enormity with phrases like "world changed forever" and such, but it is different for someone who has been around you for some of these events because we saw you *go through* some of these things. If someone hadn't been around to see what you were like when you were with Jamie (for example), it would be hard for them to really get an accurate mental picture. The best the could do would be to picture you as *they* were with someone when they were obsessively in love - and since everyone is unique, that wouldn't do the reality total justice. Regardless, your entry was great to read. :)
