"LJ history" meme :)

Snagged from all over my flist:

How did you come to start your LJ?

I was introduced to LJ through the VC fandom. I had joined a mailing list for Anne Rice fans a few months before, and some people on that list had links to LJ accounts in their emails. So I checked them out, and became intrigued with the idea of an online journal. At first it seemed outrageously exhibitionistic somehow - to post about your personal life online - but I felt very lonely and confused at that point in my life, and needed some sort of outlet for the emotional chaos I was going through... so I got over my inhibitions pretty quickly.:P
