I joined the very day that free, non-invited accounts were re-opened to the public. No invitation code, no nothing.
That was in 2003.
It's 9 years later. 9 years.
Maybe I really should've gone for a permanent account somewhere down the line... but I'm happy with my free one.
Adds have come in, those are annoying.
Livejournal became more corporate -- first by it being bought out, then ads coming in (and plus accounts), then Brad left, then it became Russian?
And let's not forget strikethrough and boldthrough and downtime (oh my).
But it's still my little nook. I've been on here as myself and as various characters for so long. And it does feel like home.
...and now I realize I misread that question as "what major changes in Livejournal have you witnessed" rather than "what major life changes has livejournal witnessed". Well.
To answer the proper question, my grandma died, and I've graduated thrice. Yes, thrice. And next year will make four. Good for me? We'll see. ^_~
...and I've been single the entire time. ...except for a week right after getting my lj. That is, within a month of that.
Heh. Go figure. I forgot it worked out that clearly, but it was while ROTK was still in theatres, and that apparently was also /03. So.
Yeah. XD
