(no subject)
I am too lazy to pick out my own color scheme. Black goes with everything. I'll stick with that.
I actually had a piece of drabble to stick in this journal, but I find myself hesitating. It has been so long since I have shown my face in fandom. Last time I was ... oh, say, 13-15? And while I did my best to use correct grammar and spelling back then, the stories I used to write make me shudder in horror to think of them again... It was alright, I suppose, in that my old fandom had plenty of other 13-15 year olds to play with, but the fact that I could google my old screenname and still find traces of those old fics on the net today fills me with dread.
But there is something to be said about my writing in my early teens: I had no inhibitions whether I knew what I was talking about or not. Oh, for that same liberation today!
So here I am, considering whether or not I should jump in the game again. I miss writing for myself... Hell, I miss using first person pronouns, the grand taboo of academic writing. And sometimes its seems like the people in fandom are having such fun.
Well, this entry is my first step on the road back. And while I am no longer as carefree about my writing as I was in my early teens, I am old enough to go out and get drunk enough to achieve the same feeling. Ah, the world, she gives, and she takes...
