The more things change, the more things stay the same.
So after making my OH MY GOD MY JOURNAL, IT IS ANCIENT post last night/early this morning, I went back to make sure I'd f-locked some of my REALLY old entries (teenage angst/woe, etc.). And as I moved forward in time and hit my FMA days, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. But this:

If you have come by my journal and found an interesting way to waste five minutes of your time, today, my journal has been a success.

By nature of 'showing my face' in a very literal way, this journal is more personal. But I don't want it to be about me - I want it to be about fandom. I'm not all that interesting.
I also got kind of nostalgic about people I used to be close to but am not any more, mostly because I'm shallow and don't take the internet very seriously, orz. but that is neither here nor there. XD;
Do I succeed?
