OK, my first post ever here…Well, where to start? I ended up applying for a journal here after reading echotrash”s entry yesterday. The previous day I had sent her a link to one of ophelia”s entries that I thought would help her, plus I mentioned that she should check out this community in general and heroinegirl”s in particular cause I knew that she would love it. We “met” only about a week ago thru our livejournals when I asked her if she wanted to “friend” me. Even though I hardly know her, I could tell by her writings and interests that we would have much in common. It seems as if I was very correct. So echotrash, I owe you a big thank you for finally getting me out of the shadows….You getting a journal gave me the courage to set one up of my own.

You see, I have been lurking here ever since heroinegirl”s blogger journal was transferred over here. I discovered her journal shortly after Christmas and I have been absolutely rivetted since. I remember when I originally found heroinegirl”s blogger I ended up reading everything that she had posted in one sitting. Something like six or seven months of posts. Nothing could get me to leave my computer until I was current. I remember thinking that I had been sitting so long I was afraid that I may have actually lost the ability to use my legs!!!
 

Anyway, once her journal was here, I followed her new links and started reading all of the other journals at junkylife.com Ever since discovering junkylife.com, I feel as if I have found kindred spirits. It feels as if I have found some form of home out there in the vast wasteland that is the internet. These series of sites have empowered me over the past few months and now, hopefully, I too can have a similar effect on someone else.
