The days meander, the years fly by

<-- My very first icon, y'all!!!

In a little over a week, I'll have had my LJ for three years. Three years, and I feel like a different person than the one I was when I started this journal (journey). I'm gonna use this week to do 2 things: 1) to chronicle the high and low points of the last three years, the changes I've made and the changes that have been forced upon me, the places I've been (finally, I'll talk about my vacations!), the FRIENDS I've made -- that'd be y'all, so, lotsa name-dropping! ;) Does that seem self-indulgent? I've kinda decided that that's what a journal's FOR, for its writer to indulge herself in what makes her happy and what makes her think. So, I'll use LJ-cuts and just BE self-indulgent! :P And 2) to WRITE FIC! After all, that's what I created this journal for. My goal is to get a little closer to being caught up on the luau every day. (Have I mentioned how much I'm LOVING your prompts? So much love!)

Even though I'm gonna talk about changes, there's one thing that hasn't changed. I still love Lost! It makes me lunatic batshit crazy sometimes (okay, a whole freakin' LOT of the time!) and I have dents in my head from banging it on hard surfaces, but I just can't walk away. I still love Jack, in spite of (or maybe BECAUSE of) lots of people being mad at him lately. I understand -- Lord knows there've been plenty of times when I had to vent my spleen (as they say in these parts) because of Jack -- and I won't stop loving YOU if you've quit loving Jack (or you never cared for him to start with). I'm trying to use the hiatus to find something likable in all the characters. Some are harder than others! But beneath it all, the bedrock that my devotion is rooted in, is my love for Sawyer. I could never, ever, ever walk away from him...I have to know how things turn out for him. He may have been left behind by the O6, he may have CHOSEN to be cast away, but as long as Lost exists I'll be stuck to him like glue. *hugs my big!damn!Hero!* And speaking of glue, halfdutch said that Sawyer is the glue that holds her flist together, and I think that goes for mine, too!

(For those of you who don't see the attraction, you know I ♥ you just 'cause you're you -- just had to add that so you wouldn't feel all abandoned like...well, Sawyer! ;) *hugs*)

I've got plenty to say, but I've got 10 days to say it in so I'll stop taking up space for now. In the meantime I'll be catching up with my flist and the luau, YAY! If you want, you can tell me some of the changes and happenings that YOU'VE gone thru in the last 3 years. I'm very nosy, and I'd LOVE to hear all about it! :)

I think our love of Sawyer does hold a lot of my flist together, but there is so much else about everyone...he was just the first swipe of glue, now I'm bolted like steel. *smile*

Wow, I passed the 3 year mark this year too and I completely forgot about it in typical haldoor MOAG fashion... but woo! for yours!

And totally with you on the Sawyer love. Jack, I come and I go on, but Sawyer, yeah, he's definitely the man! ;-)

Aw, that's lovely. I've been on LJ for two-and-a-bit years - and, yes, it feels like absolutely forever, like I was such a different person back then (so much so that it's fairly cringe-worthy to look back at my first couple of entries!)

I'm a Charlie girl instead of a Sawyer girl myself - but we're still friends and I adore you for that. You're such a genuinely nice and welcoming person. ♥

Happy LJ-versary!

I have not changed one bit in 3 years. Everything is still exactly the same. (HA!)

(actually, the more I think about it? I think the only thing the same is my name. SCARY!)

Changes in the last three years??? Um, not much. Changed jobs so I now have a really nosy job working with the police, but as it's pretty much my ideal job I think I can finally say I'm happy enough to stick with it :)

Changes I've gone through in the last three years...

Well, I've switched schools. Twice.
I started a relationship with the love of my life that's lasted nearly two years so far.
I lost the freshman 15 instead of gaining it and then gained it my junior year instead.

And most importantly (okay, not really) I started watching LOST and I came to love this:

and very recently this:


so obviously life has been good!
