Ah Livejournal, how I miss the simple days. There was a bit of anonimity around LJ. You could add people but it was all avatars and nicknames. You never really had to fess up to the fact that it was you that was posting these things. You didn't need to attach names to pictures or link to other people. Friends of friends could read your entries, but they weren't set-up to be news casts of the goings-on of other people's lives. It just felt like people were posting what they wanted to post and it wasn't pandering to getting a thumbs-up from others. I look at Facebook as immediate social gratification, whereas LJ was a place to post things and to just let them be and float there until someone happened upon them. I had a bit of a purging and erased all of my entries which sort of makes me sad now. I think I was worried when I was reading how revealing my entries were, but they weren't really. I put a lot of thought into the things I wrote on here, whereas I never felt the urge to WRITE something and post it on facebook. Just like you'd never stick a poem you wrote on the cork board at work with your name on it, but wouldn't worry at all about taping one to a board in a subway station anonymously. The people I associated with (or understood were reading my stuff) on LJ were people I cared to share my thoughts with. Facebook still feels like the highschool cafeteria and it's really worn it's stay out in my head. Google +, sorry. Everyone who needs to get in touch with me has my e-mail or can msg me through FB. I think I'll start writing here again because it just feels better. I'm actually really surprised it's still up and running, but I guess that's what you get when outlets like these are not run for profit and just require people to keep coming back for fun. speaking of bearbangsdrum, man it's been a while and man do i miss playing the drums.
