Writer's Block: How I got on LJ

[Error: unknown template qotd]

jinxeffect didn't so much introduce me, as had a link to her live journal at the end of her fic, which I read at The Crypt, a Spikecentric archive, one of the first places I found when I went looking for fanfic. She flocked her journal, and I asked how I could read it. Tht was when I found out I would have to join LJ, and be friended to her to see the entries. Which was why I got an account, and then started tracking down authors I knew from archives. Of course jinxeffect has left, I believe she is at Insane Journal now!

I mostly used my journal for fanfic. I tracked people and communites down by going through my friends profiles. I didn't go friends of friends, I guess like most people, because of the communities, I got more friends. Then I started writing myself, and got more friends. And here I am!

Depression Post

I am starting to feel a lot better. You might think I am having a slight over reaction to losing a kitty, but Smudge got me though some very bleak times. Some days looking after her was what kept me here when the depression got so bad my thoughts were really, depressing....don't want to be TMI gal here, who needs it!

Just a note to self, drinking eight cans of Stella a night does not help depression, physical health or finance. In fact has probably set you back which was why it took till this weekend for me to feel better. It might have helped me have a good cry, but it Not A Good Idea. And I now feel I can carry on, even if I so still sometimes act as if Smudge is still here, it is only for a fleeting second, and soon passes.

On a slightly more cheerful note, I had a great dream. I was back at University, and Chris and I were together, wondering round Glasgow, talking about mutual friends. Even if everyone else was jealous. Must admit the outfit I wore on a night out with everyone I would not wear in real life. Got the splits on each side. My legs would be sooooo exposed. Must've been why all the guys were running after me!
