Tense Around Apples

Well, turns out LJ's gonna be 10 years old soon. How crazy is that? To celebrate the occasion, the lj staff are going to publish a book all about LJ. And not the boring bits. The bits all about LJ-ers - comms, users, jokes, memes, reports, everything. Those posts that make you think, laugh and cry. Those comments that start off friendships, relationships, marriages. It's kind of beautiful in a way, seeing what LJ means to all these people.


I'm gutted I didn't know about it before some of the deadlines were up, but it's still worth looking at anyway. The comm: lj_turns10 

And these are some of my favourites already.

- Story of a lifetime, on one day.
- The "Stop Fucking Him" post.
- Best of.... Metaquotes
- a very melancholy entry - lie2me 's last journal entry.
- about adayinmylife 's "celebrity couple" - Brush your teeth and fall in love.

What are your favourite posts/comms/entries?

[Error: unknown template qotd] This is a bit embarrassing actually.

I didn't find LJ through a friend or another website, or even from "stumbling" upon it.

No. I found LJ because of David Tennant. TRUE STORY.


I'd watched Doomsday, and loved it. And I wanted something more. Like you feel when you watch something without fandom? A bit empty and anti-climactic, and not as bothered about who got together than you feel you ought to (even though I LOVED Ten/Rose *is shamed*). Well I had that. I also had a bit of a crush on Ten.

So I searched google for "David Tennant". The first thing that came up was tennant_love . I could see some of the posts, but I wanted to comment. So I sighed and put my details into another thing on the internet. I lurked around tennant_love  for some time, taking in how this thing worked, not realising what else there was on LJ. Then I found the pr0n. I read several Ten/Rose fics - which I still remember - and loved them *shudder* Then somehow (I have NO IDEA how) I found Five/Turlough. *shrug* That's when it got really bad ;P

That also gives me a good an around about date from when I joined. About three days after Doomsday aired.  Must have been a repeat.

When I was doing my exams, I couldn't get off LJ. Now I've all the time in the world on my hands (it seems) I can't keep it up. Spose that's the nature of pontificating.
