Time really does fly -

This year marks my fifth year on livejournal. Not to the date, but just by the years - I started my journal in 1999. I started in November - my first post is on November 11th, 1999.

I've passed my fourth anniversary here. I've been posting for roughly 4 years and two months (though there is a year and six month lapse between when I first started and when I started posting regularly). Since June 2nd, 2001, I've posted at least once a month. I've posted at least once a week since July 18th, 2001.

I've posted 3,247 (now 3,248) times... not all public, of course. 295 journals have me friended, not including communities. I'm certainly no Big Name Fan in any of the fandoms that I frequent, but I'm not completely unknown.

I like my life. I don't really long for more than what I have. As long as I make enough money to pay rent and to pay for cable (including cable modem), plus a bit extra for fannish fun, then I'm good. I don't need more. I feel like I'm supposed to want more, but in my heart, I am a bit of a hobbit, really.

It's no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.

Yeah, I was the 439th account to sign up. Seems so long ago that I can barely remember it and yet it isn't, truly. So much has changed, and yet, again, much hasn't - my devotion to Buffy hasn't lessened in those years.

And thank you. I've just been thinking, recently, about little I need to be truly happy - I have everything that I need in one small room - and in the whole, wide world that I connect to via my computer.
