The primary reason why I do not use this thing much any more is essentially due to the overwhelming popularity of other internet social networks. Facebook primarily. I did not want to get a Facebook, I was content with MySpace before it, and this before MySpace. In fact, I miss when LiveJournal was the thing to have - simply because in order to have an interesting LiveJournal, you actually had to have things like literary coherency, and deep analytical thought.
But the advantage of using an outdated medium is that not so many people are going to read it, and as I am reluctant to place things under a privacy lock, I get to speak my mind knowing that some people might find this, but most people won't, because they aren't paying attention.
So if you do read this, I'm impressed that you give enough of a shit to notice things I don't advertize. Also, you forfeit your right to be offended by anything I'm about to say, so if that worries you, stop reading.
And no, I'm not going to LJ cut, I forgot the fucking code again.
I am getting immensely frustrated by reading my feed on Facebook lately. It's becoming an endless cacophonic parade of stupid. I don't want to simply un-friend all of these people, and I don't want to filter my feed to the point that I don't see what anyone says any more, but Jesus FUCK am I getting reasons to. Every single thing I read is "OMG LADY GAGA" "LOL DUBSTEP" "SPORTS TEAM IS SPORTS" "I CAN HAZ MEME OF THE WEEK" and so on and so forth. Nothing quite reminds me that I feel like I'm sitting at the singularity of a vortex of STUPID like Facebook has been. It's everything I can do to keep from saying vicious shit to people I'm normally pleasant with, and in some cases I have.
I'm not exactly pleased that I've become an internet social addict. Especially since I'm not so good at the whole social thing beyond the sort of casual conversations that occur on club nights.
What's more annoying is that I know this is a symptom of worse shit that I've got repressed deep down in my head somewhere to the point that I can't accurately describe it to people any more.
Maybe I should start using this thing for that, since it gives an illusion of social transaction while being derelict enough to afford some privacy.
So if you're reading this, and I continue using it, I'm not holding back. If something I say offends you, then fuck off. Go back to where you're safe.
PS: Looks like this thing actually connects with Facebook now. This one will not auto post to it.
