So …
I used to write on OD, like so many of you. I just discovered this site, and am excited to try it, but rather apprehensive, too. Losing years of my life – not just words, but truly, feels like losing my life – to OD’s ultimate fall hurt in a way that I can’t explain. But such is life. It’ll all, in the end, be a loss.
I’ve tried Livejournal (in fact, my OD and LJ time overlapped), as well as other sites. I’ve tried paper journals from time to time, with various degrees of success. In fact, just two days ago, I wrote a paper entry in a brand new journal, during an incredibly sad night, during which I didn’t drink, didn’t take valium, didn’t transform into someone else in bed with my spouse, didn’t hit on a total stranger.
A successful night, despite wanting to die, all throughout it.
I’m not sure how soon, if at all, I’ll be revealing my old OD/LJ name(s). For now, let’s just go with this.
I’m injudicious. You can call me Judi, though I confess already that it’s not my real name (would it even be anyone’s?). I am a parent. I am a spouse. I am polyamorous. I am atheist. I vote liberally. I give freely of myself and of my possessions to anyone who needs an ear, a shoulder, a toaster, whatever.
That’s that, for now.
I look forward to meeting you all.
