Wait, what? Blogging again?! Didn't you end this?
Thursday, 29 December 2016 19:46I did, yeah. In 2015.
I began my LiveJournal, A Bit of Wit, back on 9/11/2003, when I was 17 and just a couple weeks into my very first semester at college. When LJ was THE SHIT. And EVERYONE HAD ONE. And used them daily like a physical journal. There was no Facebook or Twitter, where we could broadcast our thoughts at any moment.
I actively used it for the better part of a decade, and as I grew older, I used it less and less, and so did everyone else. Finally, when I graduated college in May 2015, I wrote up a final entry and decided that it was only fitting to close out that journal, the last relic of my college life.
Now here I am in my 30s, and I feel once again the need to keep an account of life. I think things are going to get a lot rougher both globally and personally, with the election of a certain Orange Hitler and the specter of it potentially leading to harm amongst those I love.
I've always found it best when the weight of my world, the weight of my emotions cause me to buckle, to get my thoughts out as quickly as possible, no matter how irrational, lest I break down in heaving sobs somewhere where I don't wish to, like at my job.
So, A Bit of Wit has been revived, moved from LJ to Dreamwidth. Don't know how frequently I'll post here, but I have an outlet again here rather than to bare my soul in long prose on Facebook and Tumblr where algorithms likely mean many don't even see it or it quickly gets eaten up by everyone else's posts and status updates and reblogs--I might as well piss into the wind.
In short, O HAI ERRYONE
