Way back when, I made this post with LJ 'rules' -- but those are long out of date. I post-dated this to 2020, before sticky entries were even a thing because it felt impossibly far in the future. Now, here we are. At almost 40, I have restarted this journal, at least for the time being, to log my dealing with the pandemic and my quarantine and the slow demise of whatever sanity I have left. I needed a way to... mark time and feel like it still existed. Otherwise, many of these entries are kind of log of who I used to be, back before strikethrough and the eventual demise of LJ as a hot spot. Fifteen-twenty years makes a big difference in a life, though I'm basically still the same weirdo I have always been, and I truly miss all the friends I lost here. Even the ones I barely remember.
If you happen upon this journal and want to keep in more reliable contact, I can be found on Tumblr, Facebook, and Insta now. If you know me, message me or comment on this entry and I'll shoot you whatever link is most appropriate.
