Here is the 2021 LiveJournal meme. Unlike last year, it doesn't give me a nice post count, but it is still kind of clever.

Today marks the 100th consecutive day that I have posted to this journal. The streak started on August 29.

If you've been reading this forever and have wasted a lot of your brain cells on memorizing random details of my journal, you may recall that I've done this before from January 1 to April 10 of 2014. Or at least, I thought I had. Upon ( Read more... )

This post brings us to the end of my incredibly self-indulgent summary of my tags. You're welcome, future grad students. This is part 5 of 5. The first four parts were:
- The LiveJournal Centric Ones
- Working, Cooking, Self-Improvement
- Pop Culture
- Travel& Stories From My LifeOur last part has all the tags that didn't quite fit anywhere else. I ( Read more... )

If you're interested, you can also read part 1, part 2 and part 3. I killed one more tag writing this, bringing the number down to 162, which is the number of games in a baseball season so that's perfect. One more post after this.

Notable Personal Life Events - 8 Tags

life changing events - The big earth shaking events.
engagement - My ex, mostly ( Read more... )

Two tag summaries down, at least two and probably three more to go. I killed 3 more tags while writing this so the total number is now down to 163.

And we continue from yesterday with more tag summaries. Alternate title: Archivist Delight!

Pretty much just as it says on the tin.

health - General category covering a whole range of health and diet related topics.
health screening results - Let's see, I could figure out which hospital system to log into to ( Read more... )

LiveJournal didn't have tags when I started this journal, and while I adopted them quite quickly I never went back and tagged the old posts that predated the functionality. Nearly five years ago, I stated that I wanted to tag all my old posts that didn't have them. While I've done that in bits and pieces while I went looking for specific posts, ( Read more... )

In my life, I have joined relatively few social media sites, nor was I on many of the precursors to social media like forums or usegroups or any of that stuff. This year, the total moved to three.

Facebook - I joined back in 2009. It's even got its own tag, and as I said back in 2015: "if used for the actual purpose of communicating with your ( Read more... )

It's been 24 days since my last post, which at a casual glance through my archive appears to the longest gap since the 36 day gap in August & September 2015 when I went to Europe for more than a month with essentially no internet, back in my pre-smart phone youth. I didn't go through my entire archive, but that actually appears to be the longest ( Read more... )

For the first time in longer than I can recall, LiveJournal actually did something new, which resulted in this nice little stat block for 2020.
