THE REVOLUTION!!!
Testing... testing... 1. 2. 3.
Is anybody out there?
I just want to check. The environment of the social internet has changed. Livejournal went from being a legitimate blog site to a simple online presence checker for people around nerdy communities to then cater specifically to Russians and tight-knit fandoms and communities.
I'm not Russian or of any strong fandom or community. Most of my online presence lets itself out on Facebook which is currently deactivated.
I think my attention span and way of thinking and expressing myself has changed as a result. I look at some of the shit I posted back in the day and I cannot believe how tore I was nor do I know how the fuck I got into that state.
I think I was all the better for it.
To whomever else is out there... let me know that you're there. Tell me what you're doing on LJ and if it's still got a place for me. I sort of miss the LJ heydey. People's thoughts and reflections built up over time and weren't dispensed in the incremental bursts of Facebook and Twitter. It was more dishonest in a way... but lies are more fun. The feedback and comments were also more engaging. The multi-threaded comments made for much more fun and sprawling circlejerks.
