Greetings
I wish I had more to offer LJ. But fandom is... not really apart of my life so much any more. Not in the way it used to be. And that is what I remember most about LJ way back when we created entries into stone with a pick and hammer. Now I seem to always want to turn to LJ as a place to vent. Kinda like a regular journal. Haha. Not that I have a lot to vent about, but it seems that if there's something on my mind, it haunts me.
In the last year and a bit I feel I have grown up a lot, and things that would normally make me stress don't do so anymore. I am happier with who I am, and I'm comfortable in my own skin, unless I eat too much curry - then I just wanna explode. But in general I am in a good place and I am extremely happy. So if something weighs on me for longer than say, a day, it's normally something serious. And I want LJ to be the fun place it used to be, but also use it for that. Because with other social media I use EVERYONE is on there. And sometimes I don't want my mum to know. Not that we talk much anyway, but still.
As for fandom. I still go to cons, but not in the same way I used to. Gabit is coming up, which I'm excited about. And in March Sam and I are going to Wales for a con too, but I'm not super excited. I don't know if it's just because there's nothing on telly/films that grab me like SG-1 or BSG used to (well, still do). OR maybe I don't *need* fandom the same way I used to? I wonder. But it used to come naturally, not something I felt I was obligated to be apart of.
I don't want to use my journal just to vent my crap days. But I don't want to feel like I can't use it for that either. I suppose we will see what 2014 has to offer.
I'm sorta excited about Helix.
