Basically, I had some realisations about myself thanks to the "When I was 19..." thread.
I need to go do some self-exploration (the kind that
doesn't involve looking up one's skirt with a handmirror) and try to figure out why I sabotage myself. Seriously, I have lived through so much, been put through so much by other people, but I choke when faced with things that I want to do - like writing a book, or learning to drive or sew.

So I'm gonna be gone for a while. I dunno how long. Could be a couple days, could be a month or more. I may still lurk because I am addicted to all of you, but I probably won't post unless something really demands an answer of me. But the wedding is still going ahead (because there is nothing I am more certain of than FI) so there will be pictures when I get them from my BIL.
I just wanted to thank you all. I have learned so much from you, and you have been so supportive - even when I've been a horrible SS. You've helped me see things that I needed to see. You've pulled me up when I've been down. You are all incredible, wonderful people.
