♪ when daddy sings he's an auctioneer and mother clings to anniversaries.
Today is my 4 year LJ anniversary, yay! But I've been lurking on LJ for much longer than that. I think from since 2003. Then everyone locked their journals and I had to create an account to keep reading some of my favorite blogs and comms. I did nothing with the account, other than adding some people and sometimes chat with some of them. But I was never really a part of a fandom and didn't have real friends. Last year - Adam & Kris - changed all of that. I started making icons of them and I remember being way nervous sharing 'em for the first time. And looking back at the icons I made when I first started about a year ago - I'm kind of facepalming. That stupid black border, way too bright colors, pixelated... Why oh why did I think that looked good? I think I improved a lot over the year. Still not perfect, always like to try out new things, but it's much better than it was. Anyway, I've met a lot of GREAT people the past year and I'm so happy to have you all here on my flist. I may not always reply (I try to, tho) and comment on your entries, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate every single one of you ♥
I also remember why I picked this username. I'm a dreamer. I love dreaming, daydreaming, reading about dreams. I just plain love everything that involves dreams somehow. So 'dream' definitely had to be in my username, because it's a part of who I am. As it was, lots of usernames that had 'dreams' in them were already taken. Then, while I was thinking of a good username (I didn't want to be![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daydreamer10245) my mom asked me if I was high or something, cause I was staring into space like I tend to do sometimes when I'm far away in thought. I even get crosseyed without even noticing that I do that, lol. Anyway, I thanked my mom and registered highdreams. I thought it sounded super cool. 8) :P And I'm still happy with it.
And that is my LJ story. What's yours? How did you get here? And why did you choose this username?

I like the name you chose.
Hmmm guess I've been around for five years, wondered in and couldn't stay away... this isn't my original journal but I'm pretty happy with this one now. I've met a lot of nice people over the years on LJ.
I chose the name because muse = inspiration/thought. So things that I think about or am inspired by - though my LJ is mostly fluff! But hey I have fun and that's the point. :)

I love your journal! <333 And your name, too. I'm really happy to have met you here on LJ. :D
*facepalm* I just saw that I was two days early - tomorrow is my actual anniversary. LOL.
no subject
*aw* Thanks! I am to. :D
Ha! Oh well celebration early, that's alright.

I wanted lmichelle, but there was already another person with that, so I had to add the 599, which is the month and year I graduated from University of Alabama. Not looking to change usernames at this stage in the game.
I picked one of my favorite Adam icons that you made. :)

I've been around for about six years now, I think? I started out with meaningless posts and icons and then to more fannish stuff mixed with real life. My icon skills have improved over time, although I still think they're all rubbish.
My previous name was koyuki-san which in Japanese means light snow. I went for a name change last year with this one. It's sort of like the 'it's a trap!' thing and partially enabled by a friend of mine. She enables very hard. I am so not making any sense with it at all. lol.

Rubbish? Seriously? I love your stuff, bb! ♥
It took me a while to get used to your 'new' name, but I totally love it now. But you'll always be koyuki-san in my head, lol.

It sounds like a trenchcoat-wearing perv trawling LJ. A few people told me that when I did the change. Hee. Mission accomplished.

Oh, I just got your email, bb! ILY! I'll try to respond later this night - I want to take my time reading it all carefully. :P But my friends are coming over in a minute and I just hope I make it through the evening without falling asleep on them - I'm SO exhausted, lol.
