The one time I've ever seen my Dad dress up is for when his barbershop group ('Tone Cold Sober') put on a Les Mis performance. I'll never see the like again (he's the one doing the stabbing)

I'm almost tempted to post a link to this article on my LJ that hasn't been updated since 2013 to see if there is anyone still out there. Funny, and sad, how most people seemed to drift away around the same time. I don't know how I have survived my teens without LJ comms and pals. I was @marauded

Oh man this brought me back, I got onto journal in 2002 with some Lord of the Rings referencing username, had a dalliance with a personal website/blog on one of those shared paid domain spaces you refer to! Had flirtations with LJ's poorer cousins Greatestjournal and deadjournal (my goth phase). Its incredible how some people I knew "to see" on LJ, turned their presence into huge internet presences today, recognised by people who never knew LJ. My last entry on my current LJ was November 2013, the personal posts spluttered along, getting shorter and fewer in my college years (2007-11). One of my current best friends, came into my life via livejournal. Certainly as there are more platforms to share your life - instagram, tumblr, they don't feel like safe spaces in the way LJ did. It was a like one big sleepover, to this lonely girl living in rural Ireland - friends in large cities, all over the world. I miss it!

OMG there are people who UNDERSTAND. Mara Jade and her high sassy ponytails were IT for me as a lonely pre-teen geek. I had the best time reading over these, I was HOWLING.
