I don't normally do these but I've been having a lot of stressful dreams lately that have involved arguments with people and I've been thinking a lot about lack of appreciation and how things go unsung and how that's okay sometimes but sometimes, you know, your hard work needs some kind of recognition (even if it's just that the person in charge knows what you contributed).

So. If you feel like leaving some kind words, they would not be remiss at this juncture.

Thanks. ♥

Today is the celebration of my 3rd year on lj. It’s hard to believe that 3 measly years ago I still thought that blogging was the most self-important thing I’d ever heard of. “Ha ha!,” she says self-importantly.

So, I have not done anything cool like written a multi-fandom fic that sums up my life-and-times thus far on lj. (Not that I was planning to . . .) Instead, I have boring stats. Yawn.

After three years, here’s what my journal has to show for itself:

143 Interests, including such unique gems as: daniel’s jacket, dark blue bad, mcgillion hugs, sanzo’s reading glasses, and subtracting turtles from crabs

160 Friends who think I’m cool enough to grace their friends lists

104 Communities that allow me to be a member even if it’s only to post the extremely infrequent Buffy fanfic

2,038 Journal entries which averages to 1.86 journal entries per day. Heh. Not addicted.

35,495 Comments posted, most of which are probably to roadrunner1896

46,564 Comments received, most of which are probably from roadrunner1896 ;)

Thanks to everyone who comments in my journal (or whose journal I comment on)! It’s you guys who make this place worthwhile for me. *hugs*


Also, I’d just like to mention that 2 years ago, right about this time, I was waiting at the airport for roadrunner1896. I miss you, sweetie. Two years is too long to go without seeing one of my best friends. *smooches*

Well, this is a first. I have a live journal account. Surely the world must be ending. I say that because I swore to never have a “blog.” Partly I swore this because I kind of hate that word. It’s a word that sounds like stepping in poo. Plus “blogging” gives people the notion that anyone can be a writer—I want to be a delicate snowflake, damnit, despite what Tyler Durden tells me.

Anyway, here it is. My first post. I am a newbie. Take me by the shoulders and rip that live-journal-virginity right out of me. For the love of Joss, someone tell me what I should do now.
