Let's try this thing

pearwaldorfSo a bunch of people who I am acquainted with from Way Back are trying the "post every day for 30 days" challenge thing. I figured it might not be a terrible idea to do so myself. The hilariously ironic part is I found out about it on Tumblr.
Despite having been On The Internets for ages and having a Livejournal for a great deal of that time, I am not a particularly self-reflective person. I'll give you words upon words about things and people and fandom, but myself? Not so much. Maybe because I'm getting old (in Internet and Tumblr years) and everybody else my age seems to be doing the same thing (In a week there was a thing on Fiona Apple and a top 100 Tori Amos songs list! I'm waiting for the inevitable Lilith Fair retrospective if it hasn't already. The X-Files 20 year anniversary thing already happened at SDCC.), I find myself drawn towards poking around a little bit, trying to figure out where the roads could have diverged. This may involve retrieving old journals from my parents' place the next time I go back to Portland. The horror, the horror. Hopefully I can mine it for terrible poetry or something.
So yeah, hi. It's a little dusty here. Let's see what happens.

Good luck with the post-a-day thing though! Does it all have to be self-reflective? Is that the whole point?
