Gosh, this takes me back.
I had a livejournal about 15 years ago, then I meandered my way through other blogging platforms, then my life went all to hell and I stopped writing anywhere for a while. (That was years ago; I'm fine.) In the last year I've started doing fandom in a serious way for the first time and now here I am spending 45 minutes on a Saturday morning choosing journal themes.
In my past blogging life I usually had a Serious blog for Serious Writer Content, and then a separate blog for whatever thoughts crossed my mind. The "whatever" blog has always, always been better-written and more interesting. I think of this now because for over a year I've had a very nice Wordpress site with my own domain and everything, and exactly one post on it. That site is looking over my shoulder right now, jealous-girlfriend-meme-style, all "Ginny if you wanted to blog..."
Maybe it's like a, not a placebo, what's the word I'm looking for? It's there so I know if I ever have Serious Writer Content to post I can put it there, and therefore anything here is allowed to be frivolous and entirely lacking in quality.
A.NY.Way. Probably everyone who follows me here at first will be from MDZS fandom - I'm very happy to have somewhere to post fandom stuff to my heart's content, and I apologize in advance if I accidentally turn this into a sailing/boats blog, because that's what is currently taking up 70% of my brainspace.
