Oddness

[oyceter]

And now I can tell LJ is becoming mainstream because Princeton people I know are starting to join. Once again, a collision of my fannish and real life. Very, very odd.

I'm starting to feel rather self-conscious...

This post has been brought to you by the lack of lights in the new apartment, which means I cannot sit in bed and read Tower at Stony Wood. I fear my latest resolution to savor McKillip novels like a box of chocolates has met the fate many boxes of chocolates do -- I am trying to cram in as much as possible as soon as possible. But hey, McKillip is not aversely affecting my waistline!

Hi! You're up late. I'm up late. It's been a very odd night.

Hullo! What are you up doing?

Read my latest LJ entry. Putting my foot in my mouth!

I've been doing that a lot the past few days.

How are you?

[oyceter]

Ah... I see from your entry... Hope things are better.

I'm.. tired and really sick of moving boxes. Heh.

Ugh, I hate moving. I've done too much of it in recent years.

Yeah, things are better in LJ land!

Eek - the clash of real life and online life. Having the same issues since some of my friends have gotten Ljs, but I'm currently determined to keep them separate. Not an easy feet.

And congrats on the big move!

Yeah! It's sort of weird too because several of my high school RL friends know about this journal, but I don't feel quite that paranoid about it. But some of the people on LJ now might not know about fandom, and outing myself is sort of strange.

Sigh. I'm actually trying to be out (mostly because I'm too lazy to figure out what I'm saying to who), but feeling rather nervous about the decision.

Ha. I got into LJ through RL people and fandom merged into it only later (i was involved with fandom first through YahooGroups).

Mostly i just put my entire life up on this thing, usually cut-tagging things i think some people wouldn't care about. And i do self-censor some, and i definitely refrain from giving the link to certain classes of people (extended family, for one) thanks to a lot of the things i talk about (slashing everything that moves comes quickly to mind :) ).

Oh interesting! Most people I've "met" here have come in via fandom.

I generally blather about life and books and fandom, but it's still rather strange to think about other people reading sundry posts about romance novels or whatnot.
