Goodbye LJ

[jayes_musings]

Well, I finally cut the last of my ties with Live Journal. Over the last month or so I've been deleting all my journals over there...and the last one I did, today, was Hsu's, notably on the 14th anniversary of creating his journal.

It feels strange to do so, even though I haven't done anything on LJ for years, but it is at the same time something of an end of an era. I created my own journal there back in 2002 and Hsu's in 2004 (despite the fact that I was determined when I joined TM that he would NOT get his own journal *g*). However, everything from my journals, including mine and Hsu's were imported from LJ several months ago, so all posts and comments that were in my journals are archived (alas, many things are lost from other deleted journals and comms that I would have liked to keep, but it was not to be).

I am sorry I missed this post when you originally put it up. It is sad to have lost those things. However, if you keep your emails from Gmail, as I do, you should have backups of some of the threads.

I was one of those people who bought a permanent LJ, so it is kind of sad to kiss all of that goodbye. I am so very glad I met you and your muses (especially Hsu) on LJ. I will be forever grateful and treasure our friendship that began there. :)

Yeah, I do keep my emails from Gmail, and I'm thankful to have saved a lot through that, but I know some of the earliest stuff is gone as I didn't have Gmail back then, and other stuff has slipped through usually because of my own inattention, probably, in accidentally deleting instead of archiving

Yes, both my own and Hsu's journals were permanent, and that was a big reason for my reluctance to completely be done with LJ, but in the end, I have everything here. Yes, LJ will always have a good place in my heart because of all the friendships that began there, very much including ours, and even the ones that have ended...plus all the wonderful muses I got to 'meet'. :)
