Blogiversary!

Well, sort of. Unsurprisingly, I managed to forget the actual fifth anniversary of this LJ on 2/1, probably due one deadline panic or another.

When I got this back in 2003, I never thought that I'd still be posting five years later, much less have a readership greater than ten people who already knew me. But I am, and I have, and more than that, I've met many really good friends via LJ who have become RL friends as well and been exposed to a lot more than I ever would have encountered by myself, from politics to books to even submitting things for print publication.

So: wow. And thanks to everyone who reads and comments and lurks here; I feel like there is a small community, and that is just awesome.

...

And now, of course, I realize that I have no idea when I started my LJ...

Psst ... meganb ... check your LJ profile (or userinfo) under (more details ... ) ...

heh...I know...just realized I've never kept track of that.

I think I knew maybe 10 people when I started LJ...we all migrated from the same comicbook boards.

Happy Blogiversary!



The realization that your blog, and coffeeandink's, and kate-nepveu's were all on LJ was what firmly nailed my decision to go with LiveJournal for my blog last year ... I'd been reading all you guys' book reviews of the things I like to read for about 3 years at that point.

Happy blogiversary! Five years is a nice round number, it ought to be a silver blogiversary or something (time moving faster on the internet and all...)

I'll have been 4 years on LJ next week.

Kudos for keeping it up. You were asking what people remember you for: I remember you for dorama, for kitting and for raising my racism consciousness.

Many happy returns!
