LJ=old friend

Truly, LJ is like an old friend to me. An old friend who you don't see regularly anymore because you are doing different things in life than when you were hanging out more often, but still a friend just the same. A friend u keep in touch with because the memories of good times come to you in boring times:) A friend u can go back to when u get older and think about the "good ole days", a friend who is able to show you how you have changed over the years.

I come back every now and then to read a couple of journals of people who still post after all these years. My sis in law mentioned on FB today starting a blog about her move to Japan with Jeremy, so of course I immediately thought of my old friend LJ.

In the world of FB and twitter, I forget how cathartic LJ can be. FB and twitter are for "happy" posts, or short ones if you are sad or mad. LJ is therapy. You can vent. You can say whatever u want with out worrying what others will think because mostly you don't know anyone from LJ in real life.

If i had a beer or some champagne I would totally raise a toast to LJ right now lol.

I really should visit more often:)
