4 years later...
Haha, wow, it has been quite a while since I've been active in lj. Just about 4 years - enough time for me to graduate from college, fancy that. I was out and about doing college things, but now I've graduated and there aren't nonstop assignments/classes/activities/etc. While I was gone I popped in every now and then to read my friends page and see what was going on in a stalkery/lurkery way, but I'm making this post in the hopes that I will break out of lurkdom. I might actually comment on all of the lovely fics that I read, maybe even write some stuff myself, and perhaps even interact with other people *gasp* (I was never really good at that, but we'll see). I don't know if this will actually work out, but I guess there's no reason not to start.
So, a lot can change in 4 years, but a lot can stay the same. This used to be primarily a fandom/fic journal, and it probably still will be, but my "personal" journal is even more dead than this one, so we'll see what ends up here. My fandom interests are mostly still the same, with one major exception: Star Trek. Oh, Star Trek. In all honesty, it was probably Star Trek that reeled me back into lj. I thoroughly enjoyed the new movie (I've seen it three times, and I can't really think of any other movie that I've seen more than once in theaters), and it rekindled my Star Trek love. I grew up watching Star Trek with my dad (mostly DS9 and Voyager), and while I've never been a hard core Trekker, I do love science fiction and Star Trek has always held a special place in my heart. Since the new movie came out (yes, I first saw it on opening night) I've been rewatching TOS episodes. Spock was and still is one of my all time favorite fictional characters, but I am now kind of in love with TOS McCoy. DeForest Kelley is so charming and dreamy and it's so clear that under his gruff exterior, McCoy is an extremely affectionate and loving person (I seem to have a thing for characters that hide behind an emotionless or mean facade. Snape? Spock? McCoy?). And he's a kickass doctor with a southern drawl that intensifies when he's emotional. I love the good-natured verbal sparring between my two favorite characters. Spock and McCoy, how I love you and how I know you love each other. Basically, Spock/McCoy is my new OTP. I cannot get enough of them. Their love is so true.
st_xi_kink has been very instrumental in getting me back into fandom and lj. Being able to start interacting anonymously and even writing a few short fics here and there has been awesome. I'm currently working on a Spock/McCoy piece for a prompt there, but it's kind of running away from me, so we'll see if it ever gets posted.
I am highly amused by going back through my journal and seeing what I posted before. Haha, I guess it might be a good thing that I've gained 4 years of maturity...
Long story short: Hi! *waves to anyone who might eventually read this*
