Friday Five
Oct. 17th, 2025 01:50 pmDiddy-dallying prior to taking off for massage. Also, spent time revising novel. Making some progress?
Friday Five...(I'd say I'm happy it's Friday? But I wish I had five more days of vacation now that the sciatica is getting better, and I can walk without too much pain?)
1. How long ago did you join LJ (or DW)?
I joined Lj in August of 2003 then DW about eight years later - when a Russian firm bought LJ, and it began posting ads and making it like FB...and kind of went downhill from there? So both combined? 22 years.
2. How did you find out about LJ (or DW)?
Through the ATPO_BTVS & ATS Board or Buffy fandom Voy boards.
3. If someone introduced you to LJ (or DW), is s/he still on your friends list?
Sadly, not any more. She was on FB for a while, but disappeared from it shortly after the pandemic or during it. (Social media friends much like real life ones - can at times feel like a revolving door? Or folks you meet on a hike - but eventually part ways with - because, well, everyone has to do their own hike?)
4. Have you introduced anyone to LJ (or DW)?
Yep. Quite a few actually. I had a bunch follow me from LJ over to DW.
5. Is your LJ (or DW) public or friends only, and why?
If it's about my workplace, or really personal - about family or personal friendships - it's usually locked. Everything else is public - I've made a few new friends on both sites because they've seen my unlocked posts.
