Oh yes, LJ
Has it really been a year? And is it really October already??
That's disingenuous of me, I think regularly about making an entry, but when you get out of a habit it is difficult to get back into it again.
I was going to make an entry with a list of all the net-related projects I have started and then abandoned - but I abandoned that idea.
I was going to use this as a book blog, but it's October now and I have read about 70 books (which is amateur level compared to some on my friends list, but still more than I thought I read) and I couldn't be bothered to try and write something about all of them.
I was going to do an update on all the things that have happened since my last entry, so that everybody is up to date and I can start regular entries again, but that would be a huge entry, and I might slip out of the habit before I could finish the entry.
I was going to start making quick entries with just a couple of lines about amusing / interesting /strange things that have happened, but the problem with that is as soon as I start writing about them they seem a lot less amusing / interesting / strange, and the entry gets abandoned.
I have never and will never make this is a meme-result only journal - even I'm not very interested in what precious metal / Sopranos character / etc I am, and I know that nobody else is either. Own up, as soon as you see a meme result, the only thing you think about is what your own results would be.
So given that all those plans are off, does that mean I'm giving up on this journal entirely?
I hope not. I don't want to, but I can't promise anything regular, unless and until the LJ habit comes back. One factor making my return more difficult is that I no longer have the time at work to do anything other than work, or rather I am motivated enough at work to not seek distraction on the net. The reason I'm here today is that I have some work to do this morning, and I'm waiting for some tests to finish running.
But let's see! Is this entry my swan song, or the herald of a glorious comeback?
