I must befrog a friend?
Because I'm awesome, I spent most of LJ's downtime backreading my old posts, which was great in bringing me back to that fresh glow of starting reality television (guys, I fell so FAST), but largely served to remind me of activities and people I would prefer to not think about except to judge harshly. And then spent some time nursing my spite like my life depended on it. Because, you know. That was a good, productive use of my time with no flaws whatsoever.
(Actually, it was; I needed breaks in my Deep and Meaningful Academic Reading. Which was Deep and Meaningful. And, frequently, Important. Also prettily illustrated.)
As a result, once LJ came back up I went back and privated all of my public posts from 06 and 07. I've been going back to unlock fic and also any TV reactions I've got, but if I've missed any- or if anything from pre-06 is locked that you want to get at- just let me know; I'm not exactly doing this scientifically. Actually, I'm pretty much exclusively doing this to make myself stop checking my school email. It is only limitedly successful. Because, holy crap, I have no restraint at ALL.
Somehow, I thought the desire to get all traces of certain parts of my life off LJ would keep me occupied. This would probably work much better if I could wipe large parts of senior year off of the time-space continuum rather than just my list of public LJ entries.
But- you know, I've written fic that doesn't suck! So that's pretty awesome. Even though a disproportionate amount of my fic starts with apologies. Hee.
Also, I used to have pretty kick-ass icons. Most of them Muppet-themed. I'm not surprised that virtually every fandom I've ever touched was accompanied by a Muppet icon, but it's neat to go back and see them again. Well done icons? Not usually! But they amuse me nonetheless.
And now, because I should know better than to backread but clearly don't, I think I'm going to go rewatch some Survivor commentary. And then possibly make Muppet/Survivor icons.
Look, once you have a theme, the goal is not to ruin it, okay?
