Oops!

Missed my LJ-versary by two days! It's a milestone, too--ten years. Lotsa changes to LJ, and to my life, in ten years, but we're both still here. So many friends found, a few lost along the way, so much discussion of topics from important social and political ones to trivial matters of nail polish and tea things, so much fannish discovery and discourse, meta and art and fic, in so many fandoms. My life would be so very vastly different without the influence LJ and the people I've gotten to know here have had on it, on me.

For all its disturbing and frustrating changes, LJ always holds a special place in my affections. I almost can't quite dare hope our love affair will last another decade, but I can't *not* have that hope, either. Happy Anniversary to us!

I saw that on Tumblr last night! I was cheering the octopus on--it must be excruciating trying to navigate with the lack of buoyancy trying to flatten you. So I was really happy to see him or her find the water and swim away. Nice of the shrimpers to let him/her go.

I remember us bonding over that song, and over other things later. You're one of the people who make LJ home for me.
