It's been a while...

Tonight in a moment of absolute randomness, my roommate walks into my room and asks me what a livejournal is. It absolutely blew my mind. I mean, even before I had one I knew what one was. Back then it was always more a question of "would I want one?" rather than "what IS one." So i opened mine up to show her, and realized how long it had been. Then I got sad, because I like my livejournal and I like having a place to write my thoughts out, and I want to get back into it. So I hunted out my password and updated my profile (seeing as I moved and developed new interests in the last year) and now here I am once more. So now that I'm here, what do I say? Do I spill out all my inner most thoughts about my various obsessions and life changes? I suppose that would be the logical thing to do except that it would take forever, and as much as I want to spill everything out onto the written page, it is much too late at night and I am much too tired to tell the story of a year of my life. And what a year it was, filled with angst and drama, friends and crushes and falling in love...and falling out of love. Everything changed this past year and I love that. But I already know that and this journal is about ME, not about whoever might be stumbling across it. So what's consuming MY thoughts at the moment besides this rambling? Hmmm. I started a one-shot smutty Harry Potter fic today. I haven't written smut in about 2 years now, nor have I had the desire to in that time. Strange how suddenly it can come out. I suppose it's from all the fanfic I've been reading lately. Reading it makes me want to write it I suppose. But anyway, I'm excited about it, though it feels really odd to be doing that again after so long. I'm out of touch, I guess. lol. I did decide for sure that I need to come up with a new posting name for the HP realm. Not that my typical Cookie2697 isn't completely usable there, but I suppose I want a new identity in that realm, just in case any Rosfans that I've abandoned this past year stumble across me there. Plus there's the whole embarrassed about writing smut thing. Oh dear. SO I've been toying with posting names today. I was thinking about either something Phoenix related or something Potter related. Maybe Phoenix Potter. lol. But I don't know. That sounds a bit too grand for me. Anyway, I suppose I will not finish and post my new fic until I come up with a good name. At least I have a distraction, right? Something to consume my mind with. I like that.
