Me, In Real Life

It’s not too complicated. My name, plus In Real Life, because this is a personal blog and I’m trying to chronicle things that happen in my real life.

The creation is mostly because I pay for web hosting my boyfriend’s car forum so I decided to install a WordPress blog on the account just so I could get back to journaling, which I had been doing for about 15 years on LiveJournal before a Russian company bought it and I left. It’s still hard going because I had been in a much better headspace when i was younger so i was a lot more introspective (I think?) but now I find it hard to focus on writing. It’s a shame, but taht’s why I’m trying to get back into it.

It’s hard for me to just pinpoint one piece of entertainment media that will be my absolute favorite. I think I just liked a lot of TV. As an only child I didn’t have many playmates as a kid, so I ended up watching a lot of television. My overprotective parents were fine with this, all the better to keep tabs on me, but i just grew up on a very steady diet of ’70s and ’80s TV.

But I suppose I could get into some of my favorite media right now. Doctor Who, both classic and modern. Anime. Superhero stuff, both Marvel and DC, Star Wars, Star Trek (what’s left of it, anyway). I mostly like hopeful pieces of media that remind me of the good in the world and that people can and should be kind to one another, that bravery is standing up for those less fortunate. That struggles are lessened when shared, that you can find your soul mate somewhere out in the universe, or you could just as well go at it alone and be just as fulfilled. Just…the amazing journey of life, reflected on the TV screen.
