Sleep? Huh? I think I remember that...

Don't you hate it when your body wants to become semi-nocturnal? Or in my case, wake up at 10am, and not want to fall asleep until around 6, and then wake up at 10 again, lather, rince, repeat? Yay

1) I originally signed up for diaryland, but for some reason it started sucking or was closing or something, but a friend I knew from there had migrated to LJ and at that point in time you had to have a "code" from a friend in order to get an LJ so I finally got a code from her and moved over here and have been ever since. I guess I thought it would be a good way just to share my thoughts, at that time I didn't have a lot of online friends so I didn't really right TO or FOR anyone, just mostly for myself as an "online diary".
2) Uh... not really. There's a lot I don't write about. It's definitely changed. I don't really write about day to day life anymore. Mostly it's consumed by fandom and wanting to just use it as a way to stay in touch with friends.

PS. When are you going to Ottawa? Because we NEED to get together and hang out and you need to see Riley for sure before you leave!!! I haven't seen you in forever and ever and ever. :(

Thanks for the end-of-term good wishes. I hope yours goes well too. So I'll help!

1) I signed up for LJ (well, mooched an invite code) because I was new to the internet and the whole blogging concept, and my roomie and some friends were on here.

I'm not really sure what I wanted to get out of it. I was mostly interested in learning what blogging was and seeing what would happen. What I didn't expect was how useful and important my friends list would become.

2) I like to think that my online representation of myself is pretty close to reality. But I live mostly in my own thoughts and that's not something you can express well on a blog. Shawn told me last term that there was a disconnect between LJ-me and me in person, so I really don't know.

I do know when things get rough in my life I don't blog about it until after I've taken some time to process. So that delay can be a misrepresentation because there are things bothering me personally that LJ-land won't know about until later (sometimes even months later).

It's hard to remember why I signed up. I guess it had something to do with having internet access at home for the first time since 1995 or thereabouts and wanting to give most things a try. Having friends to pester on it seemed to be the main catalyst.

My journal self is definitely not fully representative of me. I generally only write what I think to be the minimum necessary to keep things updated at a given time. I'm not exactly dishonest with my journal, but I leave most of my life out. I'm not sure what impression someone would have of me just from reading what I've posted. I guess that online life is a fairly censored (for quality, hopefully) version of real life.

I looked back over my first entries.

Apparently I signed up under the premise of helping my friends keep up with what I was up to. I was also someone who had kept a journal anyway, but found that this was a much more palatable and organized way to keep it. quite a number of people that I had known back then were on here, and that's why I came here specifically. I also thought it would be a better way to keep track of things I can't remember anyway. I definitely use it as a memory aid now.

I think in a way my LJ is a truer representation of myself than I have in most profiles. I record almost anything here I think to post about, and rather than censor myself, I just adjust who can read certain things. So those with the most access see the most about who I am.
