I do hope I remember how this thing works
Well.
I'm not even checking the date of my last LJ post, because that would be too depressing. Because then I might think that it's been far too long and I'm so far out of the LJ loop that there's no coming back, and that would make me sad. So, ignoring the date of my last LJ post, I really just want to say hi, hello, hey to my LJ friends.
I haven't forgotten about you. Any of you. I just haven't been in the right headspace for a long time. RL has thrown many a curve ball over the last two years and my ability to chat and write and basically interact with people in a fandom space went flying out the window, much to my disappointment. Many's the time I've sat here at my computer, mouse hovering over 'post new entry', only to realise that I really didn't have anything to say. Besides the fact that I had nothing to say, of course. LOL.
This isn't going to be a long post. Baby steps, you see, but when it comes down to it, I really don't want the LJ part of my life to vanish. I know that tumblr has taken over so much of the fannish audience, but LJ is still so very special to me.
I have been feeling especially nostalgic this week. I spent a few hours uploading my Prison Break stories to "An Archive of Our Own" from LJ (as pbfic.com is still kaput) and reading through my PB posts on LJ was quite the journey into the past of a very passionate fangirl. Despite how it all ended and how the real canon still makes me RAGE, I miss that passion a lot.
And I miss of all you, too. I miss how abuzz with glee and despair and gossip and squee LJ used to be. I don't think I will ever get that back, but I can definitely kickstart things by coming out of self-imposed exile, that's for sure.
