Hi.
I miss Livejournal. I need to come back. Would that be okay?
I really don't like Facebook all that much. I find that with all my relatives, work colleagues, gaming friends, assorted old grad school or high school buddies on ... well, even with "groups" controlling who sees what, I am not apt to really voice my inner thoughts. I've become a person who posts blandly and does not express real feelings, because even if I lock the thing down, the venue is just somehow not "right" for all that. Summary: FB has dumbed me down.
Moreover, it has isolated me. I feel more alone online than ever I did with fewer pals here on LJ. I feel I know you guys better because of the things we've shared. With FB, the necessary, polite (and, yes, self-imposed) restrictions on how I post mean that I am more than ever an arm's length from everybody else. Which is becoming important to me as I get older and feel more removed from everything.
