How did I get to Husi?
I am a fairly big Anime fan, have been since the mid-90s when I was first introduced to “Ah! My Goddess,” which is where my nick derives from. After “Ah! My Goddess”, I had moved onto Kenshin, and at the time I was fairly active on Slashdot. I don't remember exactly how it happened, but I ran across Kuro5hin and thought it was going to be a great place to get info on all things related to my newest anime infatuation. Boy was I surprised, and I found it be nicely so. The format of Kuro5hin, the way that stories were promoted based off of user recommendation intrigued me, and so did the contents of the stories and commentaries that got promoted to the front page. I started to follow Carnage4Life and iGrrrl's posts; I found the slices of life they both presented to be very engaging.
So there I was, a light contributor to Kuro5hin, and my ultimate favorite blogger Carnage4Life, decided to move here, and then iGrrrl. So I created an account before my account name from Kuro5hin was taken (because it's just so original I know :). And I started to see cross-references from these two bloggers to some super interesting folks: ana, toxicfur, misslake, 256, CBB, Littlestar. Please don't take offense if I haven't listed you, though, I do read most all of the diaries posted on the site :). I drew so many correlations between these people and their daily lives and my own; I’ve taken some of their best coping mechanisms for life, and been applying them to my own.

Why do I lurk on Husi?
Being since I have so little give and take on the site, it’s kind of surprising that I do stay, that I continue to read everyone’s diaries; that I care about what happens. As corny as that sounds, it’s not just for an injection of daily drama either; even though Zippy stories and REC’s stuff have always been fun to read. It’s more like I see a group of folks that I could get along with; that I would be honored to name part of my social circle. I’ve been eaves-dropping on a good group of folks for quite some time, but never gotten past being a wall-flower enough to engage; so hopefully this diary can start me on the path of engagement.

Cheers to you, Husi!
P.S. That being said: what is this about “the other site” that I’ve seen mention (with clock in the know and stacky not). If the community is moving again, to get away from the more frequent fly-by-night diaries that have been showing up; I’d like to be in the know. I'd be left much poorer to lose track of ya'll.
