I started my first blog in Diaryland run by Andrew as
http://oneko.diaryland.com, branching off to
http://exegesis.diaryland.com and also
http://briarsacia.diaryland.com He was nice enough to give me my passwords after the first unplanned stint at a mental health hospital (cruelly called Institute for the Mentally Diseased) (I prefer "diagnosed mentally besieged" myself) (or: those in mental health, which believe me is an industry),
and then, that was about the new year in 2001.
By summer's end? I had
http://oneko_briar.livejournal.com and had many offshoots that Russians very kindly streamlined into
http://brandysniffer.livejournal.com and even kindly "my" "portal"
http://chapparalsage.livejournal.comI had
http://newredshoes.livejournal.com and
http://makiling.livejournal.com and
http://briargoeth.livejournal.com and maybe fifteen others, claiming names,
planning to do things, * different * things, with each one, and not to make sockpuppets, neither. :)
I dunno, I have lost so many passwords. meisje@chickmail.com was my first email, and then a couple at hotmail, and then o0briar0o@yahoo.com (a nod to my raver lifestyle, a joke, too) then hartlaffinloudly@yahoo.com where I became, now, Jill Briary Wilder, and then briargoeth@yahoo.com (pronounced GUHH-THHEI, like Goethe) and then...
kissmesoundly@gmail.com then kissmesoundly1@gmail.com and maaybe less than a dozen other emails, not to hide behind anonymity, but because each new email name was so exciting to get!
I really loved owning"" or running the community
http://iconsensual.livejournal.com, which was fairly popular back in the day, lots of really raw talent, and I again thank Lithium Picnic for all the sexy pictures of seeming nudes which were never nudes to turn those lovelies into worksafe icons.
My last haul of icons, probably 30 of them, were only Lithium Picnic shots, that unfortunately I never got to send, that batch, to the world wide wilde web of the internats.
Thankyou to Napster, Audiogalaxy, Livejournal, (I didn't want to get stuck at bittorrents'ses) for all the music. Thankyou for the music.
Pandora, and even MySpace, really changed my life, too.
Thankyou to Friendster, also, and Facebook, also, and Twitter, and Tumblr.
Photobucket, Flicker, etc.
Melo...
I love the internets. I love the internet. Because the internet loves me, I love you, just like God.
I got on board 96 to 99 with La Femme Nikita, and Yahoo!, Netscape, AOL chat, ICQ, Altavista, etc.

http://www.envy.nu (before they fell"" to pr0n sites) Thank you! All the people who gave me awards, starting with Kat Thorn of Australia, thank you. Everybody who hosted a site of mine, or hosted my stories, honestly especially Lanie if she's reading, and even the indomitable Kate Bolin (who was my roomate in Escapade, with Jenfr of Viggo) Thank you. If I am giving you access, and subscribe to you, especially the people whom I've met, most more than once, thank you.
Thanks also to YouTube, and Instagram. And then, of course! Thank you again to Livejournal, and JournalFen, and even greatest journal, insanejournal just because they looked so freaky, but also Dreamwidth, through the ups and downs, and figuring out that I'm not bipolar or mentally ill to me, hahaha THANK YOU!!!!!!
It's time for me to begin again. It's time for me to leave the internet, but I cherish the lights I've glimpsed and caught to see, and I hope you'll always cherish those lights in me.
For those who are in my families, my church families, my martial arts families, my bestest bestest honest to goodness type cousins, thankyou.
I hope your journey also exceeds your greatest expectations, Namaste may the light in me find the light in you, Xie Xie many thanks, and may God hold you in the palm of his hand. :D
Happy New Year's :)
