hello Dreamwidth my old friend
Dec. 5th, 2018 08:08 amI've come to blog on you again...
It's been a long time. Don't tell anyone, but I was actually first generation Dreamwidth; I set up my stand here back in 2009 and it all feels... oddly like nothing's changed. Except for me. I've changed a lot. I don't want to dwell on the whys and wherefores because I've deleted and purged so much nonsense related to those years. That's why I'm on a new account, see, so I don't look back at the trailing bogroll of old content and think "crikey, what a lot of shite I used to post." Suffice it to say that I was horribly depressed, alienated, sick and finally broken - but then I started to get a life and a proper academic career and things generally improved and I realised that, to be honest, I should have been on Dreamwidth all along. I should have stayed here. By fans, for fans, friendly to acafans.
Also, Tumblr shat the bed while we were all still in it. But that's been a long time coming. The point is I'm here now, back where I belong, posting all-new lots of shite. A lot of it will be about vampires. Some of it will be about my PhD, which is not in fact about vampires (but a lot of my side projects are, and so's my fanfic). Occasionally some of it will be about semi-obscure Doctor Who spinoffs. And sometimes it might be about personal stuff, like how today's my birthday and I am this day thirty-three years of age: which is awkward, because I'd always say I'd kill myself once I'd outlived Jesus, so I'm actually sad as balls today. BUT NEVER MIND THAT.
