State of the LJ: I've decided that since I have a permanent account (and lots of great perks) anyway, I'll tentatively keep my LJ unless I start hearing of some concrete heinous stuff going on through its pages. Only I HAVE MOVED myself mostly over to DW at this point. That's probably not fair to my lj friends who are still reading and commenting, ( Read more... )

I'm loath to quit my LJ since I shelled out like $300 for a permanent account long ago. Plus, I don't think dreamwidth cross-posts to FB, and I still sometimes hope people might be following along. I've kind of lost track of friends after quitting FB, and that upsets me ( Read more... )

Apparently LJ has stopped giving me notifications when someone friends me. As I have recently made posts/comments encouraging friends, that's poor timing. If you've added me and did not receive an add back, please comment and let me know!

Hello, friends!

Well, I have imported/backed up my livejournal to dreamwidth. I also have friends on dreamwidth now. *waves* I'll try to do an intro post soon.

Right now I'm testing to see if I managed to set up my crossposting settings correctly. Hopefully I did.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and to making new friends!

I've mostly-completed my massive LJ update, now that I'm committed to fully participating here again! By that I mean getting active in commenting and in my groups again, because I've been pretty good about posting. I've been doing the rest as time allows.

This update includes:

• Streamlined tags. I merged where I could, deleted several barely-used ( Read more... )

Time for my yearly social media cull! I've already done my Goodreads, & next up is LJ. May even do facebook despite the fact that I quit months ago.

Mostly, I'll be deleting anyone whom I don't recall talking/typing to for a year or more. I have tons of friends kept because I desperately wish we were friends like we used to be a decade or more ago ( Read more... )

Hello, friends! Long time no see. I'm throwing my hat back into the LJ ring. I allowed FB to take over, and I've really come to dislike the entire FB culture. The 'like'-clicking, meme-sharing, troll-fighting environment is not good for me. I miss having a safe place to bare my heart and soul. I missing meaningful connections with my friends. I ( Read more... )

A couple of friends and I have resolved to do our parts to breathe some life back into livejournal. LJ is too awesome to give up on. Care to join us in our pledge to resume real, quality activity here? I'll add you to our pledge list if you like, and we can all help & support each other! (If you don't want new friends or just don't want on this ( Read more... )

Man, lj is like a sinking ship lately. NOOOOO! I still love it here. I love interaction, real discussion, and the absence of a like button or hashtags.

I've been trying to revive one of the communities I mod, energy_healers, for a couple of weeks now. It's still mostly dead in there. But as we all know, there's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead ( Read more... )

Apparently we are half way done! NOOO! I've only read for a couple of hours, we were so busy this morning. I am catching up pretty well though. Since my last post, I finished the Walking Dead book and have started on Where Are The Children?1) How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired ( Read more... )
