hey, thanks for the add.

i'm guessing from your wish for anonymity that i'm a random journal you found? otherwise, i have no idea how i might know you.

it's just interesting to me because most of woohu went to my high school. very rarely do i run across "outsiders" ; )

either way, welcome!

Haha! Yeah, pretty much. I was looking at people's journals on the front page to see if anyone interesting was around. :P

And yeah. I have another woohu that I haven't really touched much since last year, but I figured that I really needed somewhere to vent without having to worry about watching what I say. lol!

And really? That's interesting! I got into woohu because an old friend of mine has had hers since she was probably in middle school or so. I'm surprised she still keeps up with it. I think she has thousands of entries! Haha.

But in any case, thank you for the welcome! :D
