reflection

I've been taking a brief look through some of my earliest LiveJournal entries. I acquired well over half of my LJ friends in the first year and not so many in the 3 years after that. I wonder why that is. In terms of actual posts, the main difference between then and now is that I used to write much shorter updates. The content, though less verbose, is roughly equivalent; one page of entries from 2003 includes posts on politics, work, complaints about human behaviour, computer games, and personal issues, one of which I managed to upset my girlfriend with. Nice to see I'm consistent, at least.
