[April 2009 edit]

Well here is my LJ, which has known me so well over the years but hasn't quite been able to keep up with all the recent changes. This past year saw me married, pregnant, and finally the mother of a child, which is not something my past self ever saw coming. I haven't changed anything on my LJ because it still reflects who I used to be quite accurately, but the person I was for so many years on here has faded away. Childbirth will do that to you.

I try to make an effort to not monopolize my LJ talking about my baby, but it is hard, because he is such a consuming thing in my life. I love pop culture, so that gets brought up a lot. Politics and the news, when I bother to pay attention to them, make me irate and can cause long rants on here, but for the most part I think my posts are pretty superfluous and egocentric. I have no problem with that.

And for all my pregnancy and childbirth and kid thoughts, I started a Kidmondo journal:
