34. stranger in a strange land

[meitachi]

Thank you, exothermic, for coming on DW and causing it to send me emails and remind me of its existence. D: I haven't touched this journal for so long, not even to browse the H50 comms over here. I have too many journals as it is (the main ones being fandom on LJ, personal on LJ, RL on Blogger, and an assortment of writing/reccing journals). I think this one will remain mostly untouched and just a way to keep in touch with people who post here (who posts here?) that don't crosspost to LJ. I would move here from LJ but...I like my paid account features. ): And the nostalgia of having years of history behind each journal, ahh.

Anyway, I prodded around a bit at the access/subscription list and realized, god, I have no idea who anyone is, since the majority of people who jumped on DW in its inception were all early enough to get the cool usernames they wanted, with little or no correlation to their LJ handles. In any case, most of those people aren't even using DW anymore, so I fiddled around a bit with the list - apologies for the accompanying spammy DW emails. I hope I didn't remove anyone important...

Unrelated, one thing I've forgotten about having long hair is how uncomfortably hot it can be. Let me tie it up forever.

to be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing on DW - I mostly log on to write drafts of things or, like you've said, stay in touch with people. I also cannot recognize the usernames of most of the people I originally added on here, haha - but all of them are lovely, underscore-less usernames.

HI LIZ, YOU FORGOT ABOUT TWITTER. ;__; I live half my life on there now, mostly to follow Mi/Qmi/SJM news... Twitter killed LJ fandom, I swear.

[exothermic]

.... oh yeah, twitter. LOL I AM SO BAD AT IT, MEI, I STOPPED CHECKING because it was always all the same people updating endlessly. ... which possibly just means that I need to cut some people. HMMM

[meitachi]

oh my god, agree, it can be so awkward. D: that is what lists are for though! i think tweetdeck lets you do filters too?

[exothermic]

haha I just went and removed like, 25 people - twitter doesn't give notification of that, does it? *___* lmao. IF IT DOES, TOO BAD. :(

[meitachi]

It doesn't! :D

[exothermic]

I am still somehow following 30 people, haha. idk, I was going to make a new account or something but trying to find a free twitter username is worse than trying to find a free lj username, sobs.

[meitachi]

HELLO YOURSELF! :D

Hiii! :) This is Sarah except that I never post... and sometimes switch journals. =_=; But I'm sticking to this one for commenting on DW!

I'm trying to grow my hair out for the spring/summer bc suddenly I really want to have long braided hair. And I think it would be neat to let it grow long and then cut it all off in the fall. :o

[meitachi]

T________T hi! why does it feel like it's been so long since we've talked? also asksghfdj I hate being sick.

oooh grow it out and braid it and then PICS.

[paperwine]

I think it feels like that bc I haven't been online too much (well, except to, like, lurk) and you've been traveling? T_T I miss youuu~ &hearts! I'm going to send you an email!

Argh, being sick. Okay, this is kind of bad, but sometimes when I feel like I have too much stuff to do, I'm like, "Urgh, I sort of wish I were sick bc then at least I could rest and be in bed" but then if I'm actually sick, I'm like, "GROAN. Do not want." Continue inhaling water and getting copious amounts of sleep!

Ooh, I think I'll take a pic of my hair now, and then I'll take another pic in the spring and again in the summer to show how long it's grown + to show how it looks in a braid. :Dv
