19th anniversary

[wiseheart]

Today is my 19th anniversary with LJ. The LJ team sent me a virtual gift to celebrate. I feel so appreciated. :)

Otherwise, it was a quiet day. I did a lot of crafting. The back covers of the twin quiet books are basically done; that is, the pages themselves are finished, and Eeyore now can move across his grassy patch with the help of a string. Now I'll have to stitch the covers together with the corresponding castle puzzle pages and frame them, which will be long and boring, but I hope to finish it somewhen during this week. Then I'll attack the deep sea page. Or the Velcro-heavy outline-recognition page. These two are the ones still left.

Also, Mum and I discussed the issue and decided that tomorrow I'll give choir practice a try. My friend Eenie says that there are few people attending right now; plus, the weather is good enough to leave the windows open, and besides, when we start, the children are no longer inside the school building, so... I think I'll risk it. I need to get at least a small slice of my life back before I'll go mad.

That's a long time! Congrats on the anniversary!

Thanks. :) There was a reason why the possibility of losing LJ saddened me greatly.

Wow! 19 years is a very long time, no wonder you were appalled at possibly losing your account!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It has been part of my life for so long, I would have missed it terribly. Even if the friendslist of the early days has almost completely changed — not because of me, I may add. People simply left. :(

Happy LJ Anniversary! You've been here a lot longer than I have.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yes, I came in the early days, when you had to get an invitation from someone already on LJ. I never regretted joining, and each year I found some generous benefactors who would gift paid LJ time upon me, which I can't do from here, due to the lack of an international bank account.

Wow! I never knew you needed an invite in the early days. That's like when I first joined AO3.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Or DW. You needed an invite or a code or whatnot there first, too.

[bk_forever]

I think I vaguely remember I had to do that, but I've had my DW longer than my AO3 account.

Happy LJversary!
And have fun at choir practice tomorrow!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I hope so. I might chicken out yet — or Mum might.

Yay choir! Good luck.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yay indeed! ;)

Happy LJ-versary! They sent me a v-gift recently too for my 16th, I thought that was kind of cool. :)

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It is definitely a nice idea.

Happy LJ anniversary. 19 years is great! Going back to choir practice sounds good — as long as people take precautions and maintain a little distance, it should be great.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That was what I thought, too.

I hope all goes well for you in the choir. I'm afraid my church had to cancel an Easter event because most of the choir came down with the dreaded bug.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Well, we were 10 people altogether, including the conductor and the piano player, with all windows open in a large classroom, so I'm trying to be optimistic.

A belated congratulations on your 19th anniversary! I think I've been around close to 15 years, so you beat me. It's hard to believe it's been that long, isn't it?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wonder where all the time has gone.

You've got me beat by a year. I got an 18 year gift in December. My how time flies! Luck with the choir, I know that is something you love.
