Happy LJ anniversary to me!
Mar. 19th, 2010 08:38 amWOW. Seven years ago, I posted my first blog post. It was about the beginning of the Iraq war.
That same week, I went on my first date with Stacy.
I was unemployed & biding my time until grad school started at the University of Edinburgh.
I was 29.
I am so glad I found this website (through a bunch of Sluggites, I believe). Even though it's not as popular now as it used to be, I still find the interaction here to be so much better than anything else (Facebook, I'm frowning at you). I love going back through my LJ & seeing what I was thinking 3, 5, or now even 7 years ago. Having comments & conversation from all my people adds immeasurably to the richness of the memories. I think there are things that I would not be able to remember any more, if it weren't for this record.
So anyway, thanks![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
