I am a day late, but happy five years to akeyoftime! May you continue to house my inane, sometimes amusing blatherings for many more years.

Also.

I went out to lunch with my grandmother and father about a week ago and on a whim, ordered a Shirley Temple. I used to drink them all the time as a kid and it was one of my favourites. So here I am, sitting at the table eagerly awaiting the drink of my childhood... and when it arrives, three quarters of the glass is filled with orange juice. While I applaud the Vitamin C and other health benefits, I am baffled. I have never, in my long history of Shirley Temples, seen on with orange juice in it before. Are my memories wrong? Is this a regional thing?

I had a span where I stopped updating, between fall 2001 and something like February 2003, but the journal has existed under this name for five years. It's kind of awesome.

XD Ohh. I used to play on chibimae a lot, but then I lost interest in the name and started this one. :D And I sort of fell out of LJ interest. It was hard to keep updating when I first started (I came here due to a friend), but after joining a few comms, it became more fun. XD

And your waitress is on crack. I have no idea why she put orange juice in your ST. XD Maybe she heard "orange" temple? XDD

I don't get where they sound alike, but I suppose... XD

I think that was part of the reason I left LJ for a time as well. I had a very small flist and it was full of acquaintances. I forget how I happened on the site in early 2003, but the fact that it had gone invite-only made me want *in*, so I dug arournd and managed to re-open this account :P It stayed small for a long time (I did not start including RL friends for another year and that was largely by accident), but I stayed with it this time. I think that the distance from my stroke helped with things like attention span and even having energy to sit up at the computer.

... excuse the babble.

XD; You should have seen my LJ when I resurrected it (chibimae, I mean -- I had deleted it and gone and un-deleted it at one point). It was FILLED to the brim with memes. And I don't mean those fun interact-with-the-flist ones. I mean the YOU'RE A [insert picture] MEME WHORE! Haha. I had so many. XD I went through and deleted all the nonsense, and then came out with what I have now. Either way, LJing back then wasn't fun at all. It felt like work.

<-- is not typically the diary-keeping type. ^^;

It wasn't until I became more interactive that I had fun. Now the internet's more like the mall, to me. It's a place to hang out. >>; I hate it when my friends are like: you're such a frigging hermit. I'm like: HOW SO? -_-

Anyway, excuse my babble, too. XD

akeyoftime reminds me of Kingdom Hearts. *g*
