Livejournal sent me an email last week threatening to delete my account if I didn't log in, so I logged in this morning because, although I don't update it ever anymore, I'd like to hold onto it as a reminder of what I was thinking and what my life was like in my late teens/early 20s.
It's been 7 years since I last wrote a post. Things have changed in my life, but reviewing the entries made me realize how little I have changed in regards to self-perception and dealing with my thoughts and feelings. Once an emo kid, always an emo kid, I guess. And no, by emo I'm not talking about bullshit like Fallout Boy or whatever the hell kids are listening to these days.
In what was probably the year 2004, I listed the following items as my interests. I still pretty much love all of these things (minus Fresca-- yuck). Reading things like "skettios" really takes me back-- I'm nearly sure that it's a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac reference, but I have always had a strange fondness for Spaghettios in general. Making out and mary-janes never get old.
