katekatWell, I've relocated. To LJ. From Blogger. It's a whole new and strange universe. We'll see what happens from here.
I'd love to say something profound and exciting, something that tickles your toes and delights your eyes, some piece of prose that makes you sit up at your computer screen and scream, "wow" into the quiet of your desktop reflections.
Instead, well, instead there's just me, waving quietly from the corner of your friend list (if you're reading one of those).
I'm wondering if the html becomes instinctual and the interface eventually moves from this sterile playground to familiar friend? I'm going through the growing pains right now, you see, the parts I truly hate, the evil *change*. And it's been the banner year for that. Going back to school, moving to Austin, of all places, quitting the job, getting loans, leaving beloved friends. I figure, why not LJ? So you'd think I'd be used to it by now. But I'm not quite there. Soon though. Soon I'll look change in the face and give it a big ass bear hug when it comes along, right? Right.
Still not *quite* there yet.

Date: 2005-01-29 06:10 am (UTC)Well, the HTML is instinctual for ME, though you can always get an LJ client ;^)
But, hey, welcome! Very glad to have you over here...
*hugs*
Though, um, you might want to change the link that says "my true archives" if you're moving over here permanently *s*
And yeah, EB, you can yell at me for breaking out of my thesis trance to go say hi to kate, but...but, I HAD TO!

Date: 2005-01-29 07:47 am (UTC)oh no! you're gonna get in trouble....
although, i'll try and defend you! hopefully EB won't kick your ass too badly.
and i'm still going through the growing/seperation pains, so i'll leave the 'true archives' up since i can't migrate all of my previous 2 years worth of blogger entries over to lj... and that way it kinda hints that i've been at this online journaling thing for more than two days! :)

I'm so happy for you. I hope you and LJ will be very happy together. If you need any help, just ask! LJ sucks at first, but I've grown acustomed to its face (and yes, I am now singing).
Hope you see you 'round IM!
*hugs*

Soon I'll look change in the face and give it a big ass bear hug when it comes along, right? Right.
I'm right there with you. I've moved about a dozen times in the last five years, and it never gets any easier.

Date: 2005-01-30 12:45 am (UTC)Well, anything like that that you're not doing because you want to kind of sucks...
a dozen times in the last 5 years? hopefully that was for college?
Yeah, five co-ops times two moves apiece (one there, one back). Plus we moved a couple of times in my last two years of high school.
