From:

I always used to blog because of the community feel that grew up around our corner of LJ, back when it was all Harry Potter all the time, and that community feels like it's being replicated here, maybe not yet to the same degree but I hope that might come in time.

Yes, this exactly. :) I'm feeling all 'just moved in to the new place' happy and pleasantly comfortable and excited to watch things grow and thicken and settle in a bit.

I read your earlier post (well, posts, really) and saw that you started fresh here, without importing your LJ. I did import mine--I had two, and was feeling splinched (to borrow an HP term), but I have had the same experience that you have described of reading old posts and doing a lot of eyerolling at how stupid I was. I'm hoping I've gotten better (or at least a little smarter) since then. In any event, it is lovely to be here.

I am feeling all nostalgic at the moment about the one time I met up with you and a few other HP fen in Boston all those years ago. If Lowell remembers me, please pass along my 'hello' and happy greetings. :)

Also. Eighties tunes? Heaven. :D
