Five years

[jedusor]

I've been hearing all sorts of scary things about LJ's layoffs and people moving their blogs elsewhere and the sky falling, so I decided to look into backup options. As I was doing so (this entry seems to be a good links roundup; please let me know if you're aware of other possibilities) I started wondering just how long I've had this journal. It's been a while, and by complete coincidence, today happened to be the day that I went back and checked the date of my first entry.

January 6th, 2004. Today is my fifth LJ-versary.

It feels a little weird to care about that--it's just a blog, you know? But the five years between ages thirteen and eighteen is a pretty damn important five years, and LJ has been an important part of adolescence for me, both as a place to organize my thoughts and as a social network.

So... cheers, LJ. Cheers to Lizzie, to Perrine, to Kate and Jen Erin and Nattie; to Ava, and to everyone else I've met through this journal.

I'm gonna have to get my ass out to Europe one of these days and meet some of you guys. :P

I just plugged a trip to France this summer into Expedia--$1155. Much as I'd love to go now, I'd rather wait until I can stay for long enough to pick up the language (at least a year or so). Besides, if I get a motorcycle license on Friday (fridayauuuuughdriving) I don't know how long I'll be able to restrain myself from buying a bike, and that's a chunk of change.

I will come see you eventually. ♥ (Or you could come see me. What was C saying about visiting Boston...?)
