I missed my LJ-versary. I think I'm 24 over here, now. 2002 to now... yeah. That's a lot of years to be somewhere. My real, live kid isn't much older.

It's changed so much over here. Well, everywhere. But I really miss LJ as it was in the early 2000's. I miss fandom as it was in the early 2000's. All the drama, all the fun, all the OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE __________?!

I wish, sometimes, that I could dial my life back to 2003, 2004. Still married, finances more-or-less under control, things so much smoother than they are now. My kid, still a kid. Most of my friends online, but I talked with most of them nearly every single day. If not online, then some on the phone. Or instant messaging.

I miss writing. I haven't written anything, I don't think, since around 2012. I'm not sure where the words went, but I wish they'd come back. Maybe they will, someday.

There are so many people I miss from LJ. Some have migrated to Dreamwidth. Some to other platforms I either don't know about, or don't know much about. I never could really figure out Tumblr, and Snapchat and Instagram seem less fannish. Some people I see on Facebook, and there are fannish groups/communities there. But it feels so different to what LJ was in its heyday.

I'm gonna stop talking now, because I'm making myself sad, and I don't need any help in that arena.
Love to everyone. :)
