Today marks 11 years I've been on LJ. Wow. The site (and my use of it) has changed tremendously in that time. I originally joined in order to be more active in the Buffy fandom community, then lost interest in that fandom, then lost interest in actively participating in any fandom at all, and ended up using LJ almost exclusively as a place to write about my daily life and thoughts, interacting with local and distant friends (old and new) on a nearly daily basis. Now, I still write, though not as often, but my "friends" list contains almost exclusively fandom-related stuff, which no longer interests me much.
Funny. The reason I came here is now almost all that remains, but I no longer value it, and what I came to value is mostly no longer here.
