Since I've just had my first child (November 27th!), I think it’s time to officially put my LiveJournal to bed. I get my political and meme fixes on Facebook now, like the rest of the sheep, and nearly everybody that I figuratively “grew up with” got off this platform a decade ago.

Stephanie and I have a spreadsheet for tracking the anime that we own, and we own a lot of anime.  It helps us to track what we've already purchased, so we don't accidentally buy it again, and it helps us to track what we've watched, so we can figure out what to watch next.  I love watching anime with lots of people, but anime watching parties are ( Read more... )

It's still hard to reflect on the fact that I'm totally an adult.  Not that it's a problem!  I've come to accept a great many things about myself since I started blogging... *checks*  ...Good lord, 12 years ago?  I know my blog has lain fallow for a few years, but still.  Yes, I've changed a ton, but maybe I can still get some value out of writing ( Read more... )
