Yesterday (Sunday the 25th) was my 7th anniversary of being on LiveJournal. Isn't that crazy? It feels crazy, anyway — crazy enough that I'm actually posting something on my ghost-town journal. I was 13, back then, obsessed with the Ocean's 11 fandom. Now I'm 20 and in college and I just feel so far away from 13-year-old me. (Especially when I look at the fic I wrote back then, holy crap. Then again, I sometimes have a hard time reading anything I've written that's more than a year old — which I guess is a problem right now because I pretty much haven't written any fic in a year? I really need to work on that, as [livejournal.com profile] hapakitsune keeps reminding me.)

It's just... odd. I feel like I've grown up on LJ. Not even "sort of" grown up — this has flat-out been one of the most important, influential places in my life for the past seven years.

Ugh. It's ridiculously late and I'm getting sappy, or something. Seven years just seems like a ridiculously long time; I thought I should acknowledge it.

I am so glad we met.

Me tooooooo. Life Without Jen seems so terribly sad — and, oddly, like it would have been distressingly Gabe/William-free, since I'm pretty sure I got into that via your fic.

Isn't it the weirdest feeling? I posted my first ever fic seven years ago last month, and it's so weird to think how much I've changed (in great part, because of fandom).

It just... gets into your life, doesn't it? I mean, I'm sure I would have changed even without LJ and fandom, just because people change a lot in seven years, but I feel like I would be a completely different person. Plus, I'm pretty sure my writing would be absolutely awful.

Also: I meant to link you to this earlier, because I know you like Star Wars, and then I completely forgot because I have the memory of a goldfish, but have you seen What If Star Wars: Episode 1 Were Actually Good? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgICnbC2-_Y) I haven't seen Ep 1, but I've decided that I'm just going to live in ignorance and pretend it went this way instead.

It really does. I posted my first fic ever on Valentine's Day of 2005, and this year, I spent the weekend before Valentine's Day sitting on the couch of a friend I know through a convoluted chain of fandom friends introducing me to other people who then drag me into fandoms; thinking about it is kind of surreal. It's crazy how different I would be without fandom.

Oh cool, thanks! I'll watch that in just a minute. Have you really not seen Ep 1? It's ... I don't know, I think it's worth seeing once.

Man, on my 10th anniversary I'm going to feel both ridiculously proud and ridiculously old.

HEY YOU.

Both our journals are like ghost towns, these days. I miss catching up with you! Are you on Twitter or Tumblr? That's generally where I am most of the time.

Congratulations on 7 years! <33

HEY HEY HEY I'VE MISSED YOU. (I keeping reading high school fics and thinking about our awesome AU, too.)

I am actually on neither Twitter nor Tumblr, although I have been strongly considering both of them — leaning a little more towards Tumblr, just because I continually find myself thinking in short sentence fragments that would really make more sense in that context than anywhere else. Is it worth getting one, do you think?

Ahhhh, our awesome AU. It is truly the awesomest. I re-read it last month actually. Good times.

I just said this in the comments to your most recent post, but yes! It is a lot of fun. I really like twitter a lot too, though. I've never been a great journaler (is that a word?) because I could just never sit down long enough to put sentences in an order that made sense and described my thoughts. (Probably why I can never finish a fic, either.) But twitter is good because I can type out that short brain burst and it's done and over and onto the next thing. You know?

yes.

yes you need to write some more.

damn I wish I had come to see you on Sunday because then maybe I could have given you puppy-dog eyes and made you fold. REGRETS.

Ahahaha, it is okay! I am sure there will be plenty of other opportunities for you to try to convince me to write fic.

I keep feeling like robot!Mark needs more plot than them just sitting around and Mark explaining how he infected himself with emotions, though. The problem is that he's too visible of a figure to get snatched by the company, so I'm kind of stuck about whether to just keep it as it is or try to add some sort of twist.
