Are you me?

The funny thing is my real relationships are like, completely the opposite, inasmuch as I am a commitmentphobic, highly educated world traveller expat type is who logistically impossible for anyone to even so much as date.

Oh god this post. THIS POST. I was a bit older than you, but started LJ around the same time. I later went on to date the boy who was my very first livejournal friend, some eight years later, after he moved into my area. I made SUCH good friends through LJ, and I felt like I could talk about things there that I just can't on other social media. Tumblr had a lot of the same feel but the lack of comments makes me really sad.

Isn't #4 supposed to be the conversion experience of a fallen woman? (Help me out with my art history!) In which case, she really is supposed to be wanting to GTFO.

They were expecting to be rewarded with power in the new wizarding order, which is more or less as good as money.

It's kind of like working for a startup where you get a lot of stock options.

I've experienced approximately a million delays traveling in the midwest. But I have terrible motion sickness problems, and trains are the kindest to my inner ear, and very often I get to sit in two seats ALONE and sprawl all over them. So I don't really mind the delays.

Also that quiet car. THE BEST.

This is amazing and I remember watching that show and wanting that rainbow hair SO BADLY and I had no idea anyone else knew that it existed—and then somehow I never saw it again but I always, always remembered it. Nor did I have any idea that was Jewel Staite!

But yeah, this was nerding in the 90s and you are my people.
