While I was out of the country... on 9/30 I passed my five-year anniversary on LJ. Originally, it was an experiment that I didn't expect to last more than a few months. I'd seen more and more alt.poly friends from Usenet go over, at least with their personal daily details, and was curious.

It has clarified how I've viewed myself, and issues... introduced me to friends and a partner I wouldn't have met otherwise, given me an outlet... changed my life in small ways. A worthwhile experiment.

From the statistics, I've averaged between seven and eight comments per post. This number is slowly falling because I've had less drama and fewer flamewars in my LJ in the past year or two. 15-20 comments is a big discussion, nowadays...
