Wow. Wow! This is only the 2nd time all YEAR I have written in livejournal. Whoaoaoaoaooaoaoaaa! Seriously if any of you even notice that I updated this, then mad props to you. Actually this might even still carry over to facebook, so it won't really be that hard for you to read it. Honestly that is probably one of the biggest things that killed this livejournal was tying it to facebook. Nothing against people on facebook, but it feels weird writing my usual nonsense for a much wider audience.
It's hard for me to believe that I have had this journal for such a long time. Seriously this journal is almost TEN YEARS OLD now! Let's see what my stats are here...1,552 journal entries in my 10 year livejournaling career! I remember at one point after like 3 or 4 years, I had been updating this so regularly that I was averaging a new post every 1.5 days. I used to update this all the time. Let's see what else is going on in my profile here...oh nice, I have some quote from a 90s Rush song, aren't I cool. And my interests include hating popsicles (AND I STILL HATE POPSICLES), being liberal, and hating the Packers lol. I don't think that's changed much. Wow I even just put Shawshank Redemption on that list too? It is a good movie.
As far as people following my journal, there's someone named boothchick and I have no idea who she is. Her last journal entry was from almost 2 years ago where she says, quite simply, "I'm an idiot". She also apparently went on dates with 3 different guys in the same week. Apparently getting a guy is not a problem for her. I wonder who the F she is.
I really have nothing to say, yet I keep writing. I feel like I have about 11 months worth of things to say before I am truly caught up. Why don't I update this anymore? Honestly a lot of updates were from times of boredom, either when I had nothing to do at my internship or during college days when I could procrastinate on my homework and update this instead. Most of the time, I was just being random and silly, but at times this was a good outlet for talking about things on my mind, and I can think of a number of times when it helped to just write about stuff I was dealing with. There are also many, many private entries in this journal which can only be read by me...there are probably about 50 of those that I've written over the years. And no I'm never showing them to you, sorry :) but honestly there is a lot to be gained by simply writing out and really trying to define what was going on in my head. It's true that I am older now and not going through all the tumultuous craziness of my school days, but there's still plenty of stuff going on in my life that it still helps to write in here. Because to be honest, this is actually my 4th entry this year, not the 2nd, MWAHAHAHA!
I'll give you one reason why livejournal is still cool, and that's that George R.R. Martin uses it. Yes, the GRRM who wrote Game of Thrones / Song of Ice and Fire series which is by the way probably the greatest book series I have ever read in my entire life ever. Way to keep livejournal cool, GRRM.
I often think about retiring this thing, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Even though I've barely used this at all this year, it was such a huge part of my life for a long time that I really don't want to end this. Livejournal was pretty far behind in being able to embed media, but maybe it's better now, I dunno. Plus nobody reads this anymore lol, and I bet I'm just writing all of this to myself anyway. But seriously, if you still read this, give me a holla on this here livejournal and give me some motivation to keep writing!
