I read "A Requiem for Livejournal" and found a lot of emotional overlap there... I started my first account at the end of 2002, left for Dreamwidth in 09 and blogged there for a while, and came back to LJ only last year. It is a ghost town in a way, but a few of my closest friends remain here, and I haven't found a stronger sense of community on any other site.

It seems like we have a few interests in common, too (vegan food, ESL, KiTH, crusty leftism). I don't know if you're currently adding people here, but I'd be interested in reading, if that's OK.
