Arwen 3.0

[scottishscreamqueen]

It's my 43rd birthday today, which seems like a suitable day for the first birthday of my new journal.

I don't really know why I have a new journal. I have no regrets about deleting the old ones — I can't imagine ever wanting to revisit them. They mostly document other lifetimes that seem vaguely alien to me now. The past is another country, and it's one that I've spent enough time in and won't be going back to. My visa for those shores is permanently expired.

But, these past few days I've felt absolutely obsessed with the idea of posting journal entries. The words go round and round my head and I want to share them. As I settle into what I guess I'm calling Arwen 3.0, I miss this outlet and I miss the people I shared my life with here.

So hi. Again. I don't know where this is going, but let's find out, I guess?

Well, hello there :)

Hi :D

Friend me, friend!

I think some diarists-by-nature - like myself - really just need to do it. It's not virtuous or improving. We just feel disorderly inside until we put it into words.

[scream-queen.livejournal.com]

Done! Yes, that does seem to be the case. My brain just isn't going to stop making posts, so I need somewhere to put them!

Happy Birthday (late)
I am glad to see you here.
I often find myself half way between Facebook (one liners and memes) and Live Journal which is more reflective.
Friend me please...I only have two...and three friends would make me extremely social.

[scream-queen.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

You are friended! You social butterfly, you!

happy belated birthday! 🎂

still here, always here, too navel gazey to leave...! I don't even read my FB feed anymore, so honestly I have a better chance of keeping up with FB friends instead of FB friends 🤷‍♂️

[scream-queen.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

I tried to get more into FB but it's not very user friendly these days and I don't feel comfortable sharing a lot. Hopefully I can stick at journalling this time because I really did miss it.

I'm happy to see you here, and sorry that due to the events you're very well aware of I didn't get to read about your journey to France...

Hi, there. Falena84 sent me :-) While I've been on LJ fairly consistently over many years, I am REALLY trying to make a concerted effort to post more frequently. Welcome back to the fold!
