Starting again
Wow... how time has changed... 2 years ago I posted my first and only entry into my LJ. Lol.
Amazing how things slip in and out of your life. 2 years ago I was studying for my AS exams, now I'm in my 2nd year of Uni!!! It's so weird how the interests in life alter over time.
I was trawling through my old emails from years ago looking at all the forums I used to be a part of, most of which are closed down now... It brought back real memories of those many hours I spent moonlighting on my family computer at 2 in the morning on a school night :D
Ok, so things haven't changed that much. I'm still a nocturnal internet fiend but I'm still very hardly leet! The sites I perused for so many hours were livejournal, deviantart, fanfiction.net, harry potter fan forums and other casual stuff like that. But it made me so happy, hanging around (in cyberspace) watching people who loved the same things I did making the most of those hobbies and sharing them with others. Some might say it was sad but I was happy.
In those days my biggest loves were harry potter and the fandom, drawing, anime and manga, play acting and writing fanfiction. All solitary activities.
Nowadays I can't stand being alone. University threw me into close proximity with peers 24/7 and soon I found soulmates to be with and I lost my need for internet folk to share my interests with. Not that I didn't have friends at school; I had plenty - just none who loved the things I did so much.
Nowadays my hobbies are still exactly the same but now I don't mind so much leaving them as hobbies rather than obsessing over them like I used to.
I doubt many people will read this but I'm pretty sure everybody has undergone this sort of change. I bet anyone who does read this now won't have been here 2 years ago. I do miss that life I had; it was lonely but I loved it and I don't regret my "wasted" hours here lol. Still I'm glad I've moved on and am just as happy.
I think I may start this LJ up again as a diary blog. A consistancy commitment will probably keep me distracted enough but still focussed. I don't hope to gain any popularity like maybe once I had dreamed of and longed for and admired, but just for my own benefit, to see how things keep changing.
I bet I'll be the same in 2 years time... I hope so.
