Heard a murmur on facebook about how inactive livejournal accounts could be deleted, and before I could say "wait I wonder if that is actually true", I found myself on livejournal. It is very weird but not quite unpleasant to flip through my last few livejournal posts before I went silent; it looks like I have been gone for over three years.
For as much as my physical circumstances have remained relatively unchanged (still in Austin, still in grad school, and so on), I get the sense reading through these entries that Everything Is Different Now. It is strange and incongruous to me to have gone through such major psychological shifts "in place", as it were.
The thing in those past entries to which I reacted most strongly, simultaneously with amusement and profound discomfort, was my past self's prediction that I would "finish my dissertation by the end of 2010". Umm, no. Missed that one by over 2 years, and still counting. I do not think I am ready to process that yet. Maybe in a few months.
How are you, friends on livejournal? I missed you. I missed you so much that I forgot I missed you and there was just an unidentified hole in my life. (There are lots of those lately. But I remain optimistic.)
