While I missed the exact day, my LJ turned 16 last week.

First post ever: August 15th, 2002 at 5:35 PM

Isn't that kind of scary? My blog here is old enough to almost be considered an adult.

While I don't post much non-book review stuff anymore (my life is so boring!), I do read my entire friends list. For a while I was doing it only once a week, but I've gotten better about that and now read it a few times a week. I feel a lot more connected with people that way.

Happily the LJ Archive tool still works for me (not everyone is that lucky), so I have an offline backup, as well as an out-of-date online backup at thistlechaser.dreamwidth.org.

Elsewhere you can find me very active on Tumblr (mikhasunthistle.tumblr.com), but that's 100% gaming stuff, nothing RL at all.

At 16 it can start driving, so hold off on the drinking!

Crazy, isn't it? And makes me even more worried that LJ will just vanish one day.

I downloaded my archive awhile ago and also backed it all up on Dreamwidth and now I post everything in both places LOL. Though I'm sure my entries would be painfully dull to re-read...I suppose I could go check and see what I was doing this time 10 years ago!

Now and then I use the search function when I'm looking for info ("When did I get surgery again..?"), but I've never gone back and just reread my posts. I sometimes think it would be interesting to do that, but just no time (and like you said, would likely be boring. My life just doesn't change that much!).
