Can't rain all the time

So, in the midst of leaving my job this week, I suddenly realized that today is my 5 year LJ anniversary.  So I have two things to celebrate.  I will be posting a few different things, including an Anything Goes post.  It's been too long since I've done that. :D

First things first...I know things are quieter here this year, but I wanted to post my stats--it's my way of seeing how the past year went.

Stats gleaned from both journals to be more accurate:

So, four years ago today I finally got myself an LJ.  I'd already been watching several communities by that time (pornish_pixies and pervy_werewolf most notably), and so my flist quickly filled up with tons and tons of delicious fic.  The friends appeared much slower.  Some barely acquaintences, some became more.  I've never regretted having a journal.  I've met some great people here.

This past year has been a difficult one.  Wank and anger and loss...  I still haven't finished tagging everything from the move from LJ to IJ, and sometimes I wonder why I bother looking at LJ any longer because it makes me so angry.  I have had the pleasure, though, to participate in some good things over there, even though I no longer actively use that journal.  The HD Cup.  HP Vamp.  I miss people over there, but most of the people I really talk to are over here, anyway.

I've stepped into a few new fandoms in the past year or so.  No fic, but a bit of reading, at the very least.  Queer as Folk, Youka Nitta, and even a bit of Tin Man.  And then there are the old, re-emerging fandoms.  Buffy and Star Trek. So busy.  And so much love. :)

I'm not going to name names here, because you all know who you are, but that meme about "people you met through your journal who make your life better" has been going around, and I just wnat to say that I'm thrilled to have met so many of you.
