coalescentDo you go back and read your earlier entries? I do. Every so often I like to skip back six months or a year, and see what I was doing. This time last year (more or less) I'd just been to Caption. In two weeks I'll be at Caption again. It's not an event I ever expected to become a permanent fixture in my calendar; I don't dislike the form, but I've never really been a comics fan, so a small-press comics convention isn't an obvious thing for me to get involved with. But it's a fun weekend, and I like the people, so I keep on doing it.
Do you think of your livejournal as permanent? I do. I know some people on my friendslist don't;![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greengolux, at least, has said that when she moves on she'll delete her journal. Maybe I will end up moving on at some point, but I can't see myself deleting this journal. For all that I don't write that many personal entries, it feels like there's a lot of myself tied up in this corner of cyberspace. A lot of memories.
The reason, such as it is, for these ramblings is that this - right here, right now! - is the 500th post in this journal. That means I've updated roughly 0.85 times a day for the past year and a half, and I've picked up 12.5 comments per entry along the way. I'm not going to calculate how many hours that means I've spent writing posts or comments, but I'm pretty sure they've been worth it, and I'm pretty sure that's mostly due to you guys. Thanks!
