Inspection of my user info reveals a rather startling fact -- I recently missed the five-year anniversary of this journal.

Five years. I'd be a fandom dino if I'd stuck around in any given fandom for any length of time. I've adjusted to my role as a perpetual neophyte, though looking back, I'd really thought I'd be well on my way to internet famous by now. Oh, the fancies of youth.

Looking back, I also find it rather remarkable that anyone flisted me at all. My first entry is rather representative of the blathering, internet-awkward entries I used to post, often daily, and sometimes multiple times per day. As for the writing -- well, let's just say that at that point, I fit in perfectly at ff.net.

Look, I was 16, okay?

I've made a number of amazing friends through this journal -- some of you, I feel like I've known forever; some of you have taught me an amazing amount about writing, about approaches to visual design, about vidding, about constructing logical arguments; some of you never fail to make my day brighter; some of you I now consider in the same breath as the people I see every day.

I'd just like to say thank you, for that. And to those of you who've been around since the start -- thank you for putting up with me when I was just another teenage fangirl.


The one thing I do regret: Choosing the pseudonym 'Cherry Ice.' This is not a name that engenders confidence. I mean, it's not 'Princess Scarlett Darquemist Elvenstar,' but it's pretty darn close.

*hugs* Thank you. And you're one of my good friends, even if our schedules mean we hardly ever get to really chat anymore.

Seriously, why did anyone befriend me, ever? So cracktastic.

Because you were cute and sweet?

You could just start leaving the 'Ice' off things, like Lise suggested.
