On this day...
There's this meme going around my friendslist and I have no idea where it came from but it's rather fun so I thought I'd join in.

On this day in 2007 I was avoiding spoilers for the Dr. Who Season 3 finale and being frustrated by unhelpful spoiler cuts. Also, I see, being a complete failure at replying to comments, which is distressingly common for me.

On this day in 2006 I didn't post anything, but on July 1st I was flailing about the completely unexpected level of response to my post on the Slash Closet (hands down the most comments I've ever received on an lj post and I still get occasional comments on it) and when next I posted on June 5th I was still flailing about it. The 5th was a busy day. I also posted two posts worth of SGA kink recs and talked about how much I love [info]commodorified in general and her fabulous post about het and slash and reading for subtext in particular.

On this day in 2005 I didn't post anything, but back on the 1st I was sharing music. Specifically, versions of Richard Shindell's "The Ballad of Mary Magdalen".

On this day in 2004 I was complaining about work and getting ready to watch Stiff Upper Lips for the first time. Actually, that was June 3, apparently I couldn't read a calendar last night. On July 3 in 2004 I was posting pictures from the FolkLife Festival and wearing almost the exact same outfit I am right now.

On this day in 2003 I didn't post, but on the 7th I made three posts about work, which is probably what I would have done if I had posted on the 3rd.

And on this day in 2002 I was a little over 4 months away from creating this journal.

Ooh, interesting post about closet slash fans! I'm glad you pointed that out. Although I probably won't read all the comments, it gives me interesting things to think about. :)

This is a cool meme.

Thank you! I'm still really amazingly proud of that post and the conversation it prompted.

I don't think my LJ is old enough or enough-used to have a very long response to this meme. XD

thank you for the link collection.

i, for one, would love an update on "the slash closet, two years later". You have a unique vantage point, because of collecting all those comment from all those people, to tell us what you see now in regards to the answers to that question, and i, for one, would love to hear your updated thoughts.

thank you for being here and for being you, and for all you do for fandom.

I actually have been thinking about doing something like that. I was rereading the post last night and my comments underneath it and pondering what parts of it I still agree with and where my opinion has shifted and changed, because I'm still proud of that post, but I wouldn't make precisely that same post or those same arguments today.

I'm kind of proud of those two rec sets actually! I hope you enjoyed some of the fic!

You know, I used to be an active reccer. I've reminded myself that I really need to get back in the habit. Expect bandom recs soonish if I can manage it.
