shadowFirst post joy! ^o^
I am *so* lost at the moment but am seriously looking forward to poking around and seeing how everything works in here. I've especially been looking forward to seeing how the friends function works ever since reading about the different levels. I'm still not sure if I want to import my LJ (let alone which one(s)) though. Hopefully, it'll be possible to import journal(s) in later. Likewise, I haven't made myself an appropriate icon for this journal. >.<;;
Looking around, it's *so* different yet familiar, and there's no question about construction dust everywhere. Everything feels so shiny and *new*! (Can I abuse the poor asterisk any more? :P ) I especially need to look around and see what features are available to free accounts vs paid. One of the things I noticed right away when setting this journal up was the kanji mood theme; I didn't agree with (or know... ^^;) some of the kanji used, and would probably want to change some of them if I were to use said theme. (Call me contrary.) :P When I was reading about all the development going on in those sorts of areas, I didn't realise that there'd be so little available yet. ^^; It seriously makes me want to try and figure out how to do things like layouts (something I've never tried before), making mood themes (something I've been pondering lately but was thinking more along the lines of screen cap from fave series and make up a set), ...and how do I make a cut on here?! *laughs*
(Ahah!) In many ways, I really like the idea of starting with a new journal and new slate. In others, I want to keep the old stuff since there's so much I'd created. ^^; But! Coming here and having the invite code allowed me to pick the user name I was unable to nab on LJ and which is the handle I've been using for... around 14 years now?? O_O;; I may eventually grab my old LJ handle as well, but for now, I'm really looking forward to creating and using this for something in and of itself. Related to my LJ blog, most likely, yes. But something that also wants to stand on its own and not be a mirror or mere continuation as it were. If anything, I suspect this blog will be more akin to a combination of and take over my two minor blogs on LJ... or maybe not. We'll see. ^^; One of the things I'm really happy about is that I'm extremely unlike to have the bots friending this journal as they've been on LJ. The past week or two were pretty silly on that front. >.>
Whoops. Past 3AM is not when I should be posting. :P Next post will most likely be in Japanese as I finish off that silly fic I've been sitting on for the past month or more and try posting it. Really I should be posting it to my J blog, but... :P I want to see how this place handles other language posting. (Come to think of it, I haven't looked to see if there's other language support for the layouts yet either. There's so much poking around and everything else that I want to do in here! ^^; )
