Eluria

I stopped using LJ long before that, so I didn’t know anything about the Russian stuff until fairly recently. A RL friend told me about Dreamwidth and I immediately moved all my stuff over to there… though it’s private and I have no friends.

So many of my years are recorded in that journal… I would be absolutely destroyed if I lost all of it. I met my husband through LJ. I wrote about losing my mom on LJ. My entries are so so special to me. Even the cringey teenage angst! I go through them every once in a while just to remember how far I’ve come and how much I’ve changed from the person who wrote those entries.

Ah, reminds me of being an early adopter on Livejournal. I Have a pretty popular name on there and even recently, every once in a while, someone tries to get access to it/hack it. I no longer use it, and migrated all my entries to dreamwidth, but I’m never giving it up.

Great article. Damn, I miss the glory days of Livejournal
