fast forward
to... november 13th 2006. holy shit i've come a long way. i remember how my group of livejournal friends used to be so important to me... how i would be so excited to see what everyone had to say in thier latest entry. i loved finding parts in the entries which i thought were about me. i think i loved being able to cryptically cry for help in all honesty. the whole appeal to this "online diary" was that you could type what you truly felt needed to be said... however once the whole lj friends thing came into play i was like... well. but that ruins the whole secrecy element... let's manipulate.
however, i see now, almost two years later, that this site simply played on everyone's deep down craving to be able to read a close friend's diary. the site basically facilitates this cirle of friends reading each other's diaries and commenting on them and starting gossip and using the line... well it's a diary, i'm entitled to think whatever i want. i don't know. i loved this thing... and it's so crazy to be re reading my s4 year as i saw it. i'm not sure if i could successfully restart this blog though... part of me doesn't want to reopen that pandora's box of sleepless nights and too much information posted too publicly. also, the whole network has fallen apart. half the fun to livejournal was reading all your friends entries and all the people in your extended network that you stalked. wishing you had thier hilarious sense of style in writing.. wishing you had thier hilarious friends and badass university life. rebecca would know who i was talking about. anyway... i'm pretty sure emily still has one of these. maybe not. i kinda hope so? i think facebook has stolen any of the clientele that livejournal still had left...
i'm going to leave it at that. i could start to post here regularly. or i could search for it excitedly again in another 2 years... peaaaace out
