My Gather site

I've decided to revive my Gather site which never really got off the ground. There are so many awesome new sites out there that I feel like are more modern in their look and feel than Livejournal, like Gather and Multiply. I like the concept of writing articles. I think it would be good writing practice, and a good incentive to develop new theories and interests.

She's a "Flocke" sculpt. Willow is sitting with my headphones. She's made by the Chinese company Angel of Dream. I got her in 2013. She's a "Qing" sculpt.
