A long time ago...

[nursedarry]

Twelve years ago today, I joined LJ. As you can probably imagine, the following day's RL events rather overtook most of our lives, and although my listserves were buzzing back then, my flist was relatively quiet for nearly a year.

BUT, I thought the anniversary was worth noting. And as much as the administration of Live Journal continues to disappoint me with its unceasing efforts to conform to other sites, this place will always be special to me because of YOU.

I've had an exciting(!) last 12 years, and although fandom loyalties and the popularity of new social networking spaces occasionally drive us further afield, it's still you lot - my flist, my fandom family - that keeps me faithfully and firmly here.

Wow, what an event to sort of usher in your blogging, huh? I wish I'd been on LJ then. I just really needed to talk about 9/11...and talk and talk and talk, I think. I was just watching a show about it 10 minutes ago (while eating supper), and I was tearing up all over again.

I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad we met.

I could say the same. It was just...yeah. But at least we're all here now for each other and that's meant so much to me. As has your friendship!

I don't think I could live without Fifi! He keeps things in perspective for me :)
