A friend posted a link about googling your online name as opposed to your real name. What the hey, right? I tried it with firstcrusader just to see what came out. Oddly enough, my deviantart account is the first result (never mind the fact that I haven't touched the thing in ages. My Twitter account is number 3, then other than a couple of ( Read more... )

I've been going through and tagging my old LJ entries lately and have come to the conclusion that I hardly ever write anything interesting anymore. For the last year or so, and especially the last 2-3 months, I feel like just about every other entry is basically just a link.

This is for Katie--or anyone who's been through Pennsylvania, for that matter. Yes, I read random (or not so completely random, as in this case) blogs for entertainment. Though I found this particular guy through Abigail's blog, I've been known to peruse blogs of complete and total strangers. In particular, the "Next Blog" function is ( Read more... )
