Reflections and echoes

Took the bait and signed up again, just to see what's new.

It's fascinating looking around, seeing who's still here and who left a long time ago; how people have changed and how I see people I knew years ago-- their now-dormant SG profiles trapped in amber-- in a different light now.

I joined the site back in 2003 because I saw an article about...

I'm back.

I've started a new journal so I reactivated my account so I could get at my old blog posts and copy them over.

It's been a while. Have you all grown?

What's new with you?

babal:
Welcome back :)

Yep. Married. Crazy!

This might be the first time I've used the site in 2014. The way things are going, I don't see myself using it much more, either. I'm on all of the social media if you want me.

Getting a little sick of my whining.
Need to start winning.
Not in a Charlie Sheen way, though. Actually winning.

Being a winner is the new being a loser.

On Sunday, a couple of my friends talked me into trying out weightlifting.
For the last couple of days, I haven't been able to walk properly.
I kinda like it- I might try again tomorrow.

Next spring, I will have been on SG for 10 years. TEN. Now, I've been on and off, along the way, but I still find it hard to grasp that I've been an adult for over 10 years, let alone on this site that long.

This week I've been reading back through my old blog posts, and it's funny reading the stuff from when I...

Only 6 years here for me, but I completely relate - looking back at my first blogs, my first tattoos, my clothing and hair styles....things I cared about.... it's like a different person. Congrats on growing up! haha -
pinkie_:
Just over 6 years for me, too, I think. I don't ever look back: it's too harrowing!

Of 56 people on my friends list on here, 22 friends' accounts have either lapsed or they haven't updated since 2010.
That might explain why I feel like everyone I know on here has left. They actually kinda have.
It's also indicative of how I hold onto stuff for too long- I keep people on my friends list just in case they come back. From...

Hey! Things are good - Fender is doing well - had surgery on his ear but he is good as gold now. I feel you about the friends leaving. I'm so hit-or-miss with this place lately. I go through stages where I love the site and want to be involved, and then things get busy and hectic and I barely think about it. Keep me on, though! When I'm here I like to see familiar faces. smile

Yes, a Mazda 3 hatchback! My hubby and I have been sharing our Jeep for 5 years and it's finally paid off so we can get a second vehicle! I love love love love it....

Oh man, it has been a month already- where does the time go?

Generally been busy since then, but things have gone a bit weird this week:

Saturday I discovered I might be doing the sound for a Rick Astley gig in the next few weeks. Random.
Discovered on Monday that this might be followed by a hush-hush gig with a pretty well known folk-pop...

At the moment, I am overwhelmed by how fragile life is.
So many young people, literally in the prime of their lives dying or having near-death experiences...

The funny thing is, for the last year I've been composing a list of all the things I wanted to do by the time I turned 30, and then with the disposable income that comes with being in...

Instead of thinking of the items on your bucket list as events or activities, maybe consider the effect they will have on you. smile

Thanks for the comment, update now posted!

I have introvert tendancies in that I am far better with people that I know socially, although professionally I have no problem at all.

It's snowy and relaxing.
Having a good time.

It's Christmas!

Not much to update you all on, except that I'm finally getting into some kind of routine at the gym and people are saying I'm looking slimmer. I'm not seeing it and the scales aren't showing it, but I'll trust their judgement. I'm definitely getting fitter, though, and that's the reason why I joined, so I'm happy.

Otherwise, work,work,work, Christmas party, stag do,...
