I&nbsp;am truly sorry I&nbsp;never gave you the time other users have, and that I don't even know what you look like anymore. Today, I&nbsp;logged in and saw you for the first time in what has probably been months, and I&nbsp;was startled to realize that I had forgotten what you looked like. <br \/><br \/>And then I realized what a sad lj user I&nbsp;truly am, and this got me thinking of the manner in which you were conceived.<br \/><br \/>I don't know how to say this without hurting your feelings, but - <br \/><br \/>You weren't planned. <br \/><br \/>I was so in love with the fanfic - it was QAF, you know, and the beautiful fic seemed endless. I was so caught up in spending my every moment reading and laughing and crying and melting with every new fic that was posted that I got carried away. My feelings carried me away. I craved every bit of fic I&nbsp;could find, and without even my noticing it, I&nbsp;had an lj account. <br \/><br \/>That was, a year ago. And my, how very little you've grown!<br \/><br \/>This is certainly no fault of yours. I admit, the blame is entirely mine. I. I - well. I&nbsp;may not have handled the situation very gracefully.<br \/><br \/>I&nbsp;was young, lj. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't prepared to spend time on you when I&nbsp;was still so in love with reading all the heartbreakingly gorgeous fic out there. I&nbsp;realize now that may have been selfish of me, when you were sitting in your lil lj corner, unattended and neglected. <br \/><br \/>Um. I still love the fic. I still love reading it deep into the night and sometimes even into the wee hours of the morning, making me bleary-eyed and drowsy when I have to get to school at truly painfully early hours. I won't lie to you, there will be times when I will be as starry-eyed and obsessively in love with the fic. But I want you to know that I&nbsp;will be keeping you in my mind from now on, and I will try my best to at least write you once in a while.<br \/><br \/>Maybe once a year?<br \/><br \/>We'll see.<a name='cutid1-end'><\/a><br \/>I'm glad we had this talk.","comments":"https:\/\/dottingham.livejournal.com\/920.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/dottingham.livejournal.com\/673.html","pubDate":"Sat, 08 Mar 2008 08:14:10 GMT","author":"dottingham","link":"https:\/\/dottingham.livejournal.com\/673.html","description":"Filler entry.","comments":"https:\/\/dottingham.livejournal.com\/673.html?view=comments#comments"}]}}
