stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade

[mickeym]

The first thing I'm going to do when I have money again -- if that ever happens -- is get a paid account, and upgrade/add icons. Anyway.

I got a comment on one of my stories yesterday. A story I couldn't place by the title, so I had to click on the story link to learn it was a Highlander story, the prelude to my "i, pet" story. It was weird not to remember it, but then I looked at the date. Originally posted 04/02/2001. So I guess I can be forgiven for not remember something from 24 years ago. Eek.

I'm currently listening to a lot of the Eagles, with other stuff (genres, bands, etc) sprinkled in. But a lot of Eagles. I didn't appreciate them so much back in the 80's, apart from a couple of songs I have always liked (Desperado, I'm looking at you). But now, yeah. *Really* like the Eagles.

Matthew discovered The Jackie Chan Adventures on Tubi, so that's been on the TV for the past couple of days.

Will x-post this over at LJ, but I think that's pretty dead, which makes me so sad. *So much* of my life is recorded over there. It's a little frightening, actually. Twenty-three years. More than. I'm into year 24. So I guess, as I'm crawling out of the hole, the darkness, the...whatever...that I'll keep recording it there, as well as here. To have a complete work. Or something.

It's a little bit awesome to get FB on a story you'd forgotten about!

LJ is both dead and crawling with carrion-eaters nowadays, I fear. I had a permanent account there, but still there are infestations, and they seem to have messed about with how you read comments, even. Sad. My happiest fandom years were spent on LJ, and it's such a shame to see it so broken.

Have you imported your LJ entries to DW? Would be worth while, if you haven't.

I get you on the LJ thing. I cross-posted there (at least a link) until this past winter, bc the rehab place blocked the site, and I couldn't get to it. and since there was *maybe* two people there still reading (but rarely commenting) on posts, by the time I got back home I had kinda gotten out of the habit. but yeah - ~25 years invested. I did import all my LJ posts to DW way back, so the history is here if LJ ever vanishes completely.

The death of LJ makes me sad, too. I don't even crosspost there now, there was just no point doing so.

I can understand why you want to post at both sites, though.
