I really have no idea why I got this LJ account today. After all, it's not 2001 anymore. I hardly know how the damn thing works, and I have a low tolerance for squeeing fangirls/boys who don't care for punctuation. I blame my new anti-migraine medication. Mostly I figured it might be fun since I barely know anyone on LJ, so I can feel more free to write what I want to without being locked into my preconceived notions of what my friends' preconceived notions of me might me. I'm afraid to write in front of people I know, just like I've always been afraid to sing or act or otherwise perform in front of family and close friends. A thousand total strangers and I'm fine; five people who know me from somewhere else and I'm paralyzed. I plan to get over it, but I think it will help to ease into it, get comfortable.
I guess if one of my real-life people finds me here, it won't be a problem. But I'm not going to tell anyone about it for awhile.
