Introduce yourself?
Woww. It's been forever since I've "blogged" or posted anything here on LJ!
It just feels strange to be updating a journal that's been dead for what seems like a year, while knowing that this entry will find its way into people's friends page... but what the hell! Here goes!
Blogging feels really awkward to me. One reason is because I go on LJ only for communities, and I feel like I shouldn't be posting to my personal blog when I haven't been keeping up with anyone else's. The other is because blogging in general feels really strange--I think DA's made me too careful about what I post!
Yet I still get the urge from time to time, to use LJ; if not to talk about myself, then to share my fandoms and the fanart that results from it. That kind of stuff doesn't belong in my art blog or DA page, yet I get the urge to do it; it has a lot to do with nostalgia. Ah, good ol' middle school blogging/fandom days.
So that brings me to this. I haven't kept up with so long, that I don't know who is active anymore (both on their own blogs and who the heck randomly sees this journal entry). I doubt a friends list cleanup is necessary at all, but the anonymity of most of my friends list makes me hesitant to post-- I don't know a great deal of the people on my friends list, don't know who is still alive and reading, etc.
If you want, could you introduce yourself-- tell me a bit about yourself, how we met, why you're reading this journal, anything?
Thanks and nice to meet you!
