First, I spent some time after I got into work kind of interested in my old musings. Like I said, my old LJ is actually still around, possessing records from back to early '03, after I had switched from freeonlinediary.com, which might be defunct. At least it has been tonight. I had switched from LiveJournal to Xanga after a bunch of my friends collectively went 'afk' and I met an active Xanga community on SIUE campus. When I re-started an LJ, I tried half-heartedly to get my old journal back - after all, it had my friggin' name! But I really felt like a different person, writing to a different audience, so I didn't really feel like working too hard.
Still, I was curious. In my first days rooming at SIUE, I wrote my eulogy to Hunter S. Thompson and exhorted people to vote. Back in '03, my writing was bleak, rambling, and terribly depressing. I spoke to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
duc_de_duras about the dynamic of friending someone, then reading significant portions of their archives (in my case, basically all available posts because of the nature of this gig), he mentioned he read all mine 'cause I only had around two. Well, actually, I have a few more at thanatos02 if people are interested in maudlin whining. I'm probably going to try to track down all my old journals and archive them for personal interest, and I'm severly tempted to go to my old LJ and comment a bunch of those posts. It's so weird to see stuff I used to write.
