Oof! I've arrived!
Apr. 25th, 2009 01:27 pmWell I asked for some dreamwidth and dreamwidth complied.
This is a bit of an experiment for me. I dropped away from livejournal in the past several years. Life for me has changed radically. I have a job that takes up most of my time and energy, so while I still spend lots of time online, I do it mostly still in my chunk of work-related universe, which is pretty large.
I'd like to bring this place into my work-related universe.
I work in emerging technologies, and honestly, everything I ever knew about emerging technologies almost entirely arose from my experiences as Ivy Blossom. So the nickname sticks around, but my real life comes with it.
I don't really care anymore about the connection between my real life and my (now ancient) fandom activities. I have tenure. I've written about fandom professionally. I know lots of people who research fandom professionally and don't shy away from the fact that they also participate. I'm tired of pretending this didn't happen for me.
Also: I miss a lot of the people.
In the meantime: I bought a condo, got a cat, I got cancer, recovered, got married (recovered hahaha! no really, still married).
Ready to read and comment and participate again. Excited!
