Stepping onto Dreamwidth for the first time in... years?

I don't think I ever quite recovered from the loss of LiveJournal.

Seeing my LJ posts imported here from 2011 was actually kind of terrifying. It was like 2011 me was just sitting here in a state of limbo, waiting for my return.

Well, 2011 me, you got me. Here I am, gradually persuaded by other people's dedication to DW and sense of community.


Man, I think my Thing with some platforms is it feels very "I'm on the playground and too shy to ask if i can play with the other kids, so I'm just gonna draw in the dirt with this stick"

HI!

Remember having icons for various reactions?

[jabber_moose]

boy, DO I.

HI! Long time no speak! How've you been? So good to see you around!

[yaaurens]

Can you believe that we didn't know each other on LJ? That just seems... wrong, somehow? Was LJ even still a thing when we first met?

[jabber_moose]

LJ might have just been seeing the last of the Golden Age when we met, if so much of my stuff is in 2011 and we started on M:AA probably....like 2012ish? Maybe? End of 2011?

Apparently I never managed to import my LJ posts over here (not missing anything, really) so I'm not sure when I started there. M:AA was... 2012? 13? We became FB friends in 13, so we met before that.

Probably around 2012. I was still at the community college, went to the City in 2013

Also that's when I met my friend- it was definitely around the same time because I liked to shove my laptop at him and show him the game and what i was up to, there.

(Also also VERY much appreciating us sussing this out on here while chatting on other platforms at the same time. Very Us.)

If anything, we are very good at staying on brand.
