Walking through history...
So, I've been going through and tagging things, starting from the beginning. Partly because I like exploring these things and how I used to feel.
* * *
Apparently, I fell in love with Ewan McGregor because of Moulin Rouge (I'm so not surprised, he was amazing in that). It's after that that I sought out Trainspotting and such so that I could see more of him. And he's the reason that I wanted to see Attack of the Clones.
* * *
I also found something that I wrote Sept. 12th, 2001 --
...I've still got some anger and grief to work through. It's harder because I don't have anyone in particular to be angry at. The people who did this, personally, well, they all died. And we don't know we (sic -- clearly, I meant 'who', though the mistake is interesting, in retrospect) planned all of this yet. I hope that we find out soon.
I believe in justice. And that means blaming the person who actually committed the crime. Revenge and hate, they don't ever solve anything. They just create more and more death and pain. It makes me sick to hear anyone blaming an entire cultural or ethnic group for what would at the most be a small minority's actions.
*sigh*
Justice would have been nice.
* * *
My first recorded instance of supporting fictional incest is on Sept. 29th, when I read some Elizabeth/Jessica (Sweet Valley) fic and then proceeded to pimp it out.
* * *
Billy (the Angel episode) totally fucked me over the first time I saw it. There was shocked disbelief and the inability to go to sleep. Very powerful emotional reaction.
* * *
On the note of my insecurities, there are several instances in my lj of my mentioning guys flirting with me. And of me receiving phone numbers. Did I ever call a single guy back? No, I did not. Why? Because I didn't want to risk getting hurt. It's like... I've realised that my complete lack of dating is my own fault, but I never saw that proof that dates would have been available if I'd maybe called any of these guys back.
*rolls eyes at self*
And the one guy that I did talk to on the phone more than once, I labeled a 'stalker' and started avoiding. Well, he kept calling. I mean, he called quite often. And he kept being all interested.
*shifts uncomfortably*
Hey, I'm insecure. I didn't really want to spend too much time with any of them in case they decided they didn't like me. It's much easier to not deal and to be the person rejecting. Still, I hadn't realised that it'd happened so much. Which makes me wonder how many times flirting happened and I didn't mention it in lj. Because I wouldn't remember any of those times without a posted reminder.
* * *
In Dec. of 2001, I was in awe of the fact that I had all of 87 (gasp!) people on my flist. Well, the word 'flist' wasn't invented yet, so I just say 'friends'. But still. I was in awe of having 87 'friends'.
* * *
My first reaction to The Fellowship of the Ring was -- "Wow. And more wow. I saw Lord of the Rings. Elijah is the most beautiful... oh, my. His eyes were so big and blue and pretty. And..."
And then I trail off, apparently unable to fully capture how I felt. Yeah, it was way like that (still is).
And thus it was that 2001 was tagged. I'll do 2002-2005 later. Perhaps tonight.

Here's the official FAQ entry on them (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=226).
Basically, you add words to your entries and if you click on the word, it'll show you the last 100 entries that you've 'tagged' with that word. I already like it more than memories because of that, being able to see many entries at the same time.
