Writer's Block: Looking Back

My first LJ post was March 11, 2001. I'd only started the journal because everyone else I knew, it seemed, had one, and it was slowly replacing email as a means of contact. Reading back on it... I was so naive. I believed that you could end a twelve-year-long relationship amicably, that we could continue living together without hating each other. That I would have the brain power to actually get myself together and try and write something publishable. *wry* Part of me looks back at that first entry and is amazed at how young I sound - only eight years ago. So much has gone on since then.

Mine was in June of 2001 and pretty similar sounding to yours.

What a way to start a journal. Wow, I'm still slowly tagging my old entries, and some of it is really painful (like physically flinching), for a lot of reasons. Oh man, I fucked up lot in the last 8 years of LJ. I guess we all do, but to have it there in writing.

*sigh* but what can you do? This is life.

Are you going to dreamwidth?

I'm with danamaree. OMG are some of my early entries just... painfully young and ridiculous. Occasionally, I consider privating them so only I have to see the horror.

And, dude. 2001. That's mind-boggling.
