Hi, my name is
rockyracoon01, and I have a problem.
I've been a LiveJournal user since 2002-10-28 16:40:51. I've never been
a paid user, but I've always participated socially. If a friend asked
me to update or read a post, I'd rarely turn it down. It started as a
hobby. Y'know, maybe once a week, twice a week. I'm sure you all
started that way too. I had one friend at first. Her name's Coral
(
regret_this..I think she used to be
liveurdreams19..) she's the one that got me started on this
thing. It wasn't peer pressure or anything. In fact, I wanted
to start. But soon enough, 1 friend turned into 10 or 15 that I knew in
real life. And then I found LiveJournal communities. And then rating
communities. And then graphic communities. And icon tutorials. And
layout tutorials..the list goes on. I just never realized how hard it
would be to not have it.
This power outage cut me off from my oxygen. Cold turkey. I sat staring
at www.livejournal.com/powerloss/ for uncountable moments of time...I
surely contracted radiation poisoning from the rays jutting from my
monitor (having spent hours with my forehead resting on its glass..).
Reading every word Brad would tell my poor soul... Waiting for him to
serve me my redemption on a goat-decorated platter. The power loss gave
me time to reflect. To look inside myself and re-evaluate my
necessities and values. LiveJournal is a necessity. MySpace is lame.
MySpace is thoughtless, passing through the dark. It provides only
visual relief and not the mental, psychological and spiritual
foundation that I lust for.
LiveJournal, you are my everything. And to you, my loving LiveJournal
Addicts Anonymous, you are my everything too. I trust you. Don't ever
leave me. Call it battered woman syndrome, but you can abuse me all you
want..I know you'll make it all right.
