I got a few messages recently telling me that people were following my DreamWidth account. Which surprised me, because I hadn't used it in years. I see that it's been 6 years, in fact, since my last post. It's been a busy few years--is too much, I sum up.

1. I got married, on April 24 2014. We're coming up on our third anniversary, 7 years together.
2. On Feb. 23 2016 I started a new job at Google, in NYC.
3. Now we have an apartment in Manhattan and a house in Medford. I'm practically a mogul.
4. The US elected the worst president in modern history.
5. My husband and I have been to Cologne, Berlin, Paris, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Seattle, Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, San Francisco, Barcelona, Andorra, Madrid, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Rome, Paris (again), Panama City, Mumbai, Chennai (and I've been to Bangalore and Hyderabad), Provincetown, Saratoga Springs, Providence and New York.  I have not, however, been to me.

I kind of gave up on DW because Facebook seems to have taken over, although I still don't think facebook meets my needs well. DW is much better for long-form essays, and I find that I rarely want to share anything tersely. This is perhaps a character flaw.  Also the complications of keeping DW and LJ in sync were awkward. But I've solved that problem now! I just deleted my LJ completely, even though I had a lifetime account. A lifetime account with a user agreement that says I have to protect delicate Russian children from my homosexual self is not worth much.  Now that I don't have to worry about synchronizing anything, maybe I'll actually write something once in a while.
