I don't even want to know how long it's been since I've posted here...

It's at least three months though, because it's before Wales (and London)

And Newfoundland.

(I may have gone on all the trips this spring/summer.)

The trips were fun. I saw puffins. And Stephen Fry. And many other things besides.

I feel like I'm falling out of fandom/internet things. Except for GoodReads. GoodReads and I are likethisWell,

O HAI.

I was thinking about you not posting on here anymore a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering about that, but then, everyone seems to have disappeared from here this year (and I never post myself, so I'm not one to talk). I'm glad you're all still around GoodReads, or I would miss all of you. That book club sounds like fun though. I may take a look around.

Did you enjoy London/Wales?

And yes, speaking of people disappearing, I'm pretty sure everyone just moved to Tumblr and we didn't get the memo. I'm so glad you mentioned you don't understand it, BECAUSE I DON'T EITHER. It confuses me tremendously. My plan at one point was also to set up an account and to badger Grace into explaining it all to me, because I am no good on my own. Maybe I should follow your example and set up an account. But idk, I don't get the first thing about Tumblr. I just go over occasionally to stare at all the pretty gifs. Because they ARE pretty.

Summer has been a bit crazy/exhausting. I meant to post.

I like the book club because it at least gives me the illusion of making progress on the stack of unread books on my bookshelf. I do better at achieving goals when I have a semblance of structure.

I sort of get parts of Tumblr. Sort of, but probably not really. Hee. Perhaps we should both set up accounts and then jointly badger Grace about it. To minimize repetition for her, obviously.

Le sigh. I just feel badly about my general incompetence, and subsequent imposition on people who understand things. Plus there are my general social media shyness issues. Blah. Stupid Tumblr. I understand LJ....

I joined that group. I will see about maybe signing up in September, because I've been stuck in a bit of a rut lately. I'm reading three or four books at the moment but then I don't want to read on in any of them. Even though they're not bad books, not at all. So yes. Plus, the idea of someone else just telling you "read this" is fun.

Hahaha, I will think about an account (because you know I'd need at least a whole week to even come up with a username). I understand LJ too. It's easy. I'm sure Tumblr is easy too, and I get the basic "start-a-blog-and-then-you-can-reblog-pretty-things". But I don't get everything else. What are the tags? If you click on them, you get EVERYTHING with that tag and it's sort of chaotic. Where do you find blogs that post stuff that interests you? etc.

I do like that I can't procrastinate with books on my shelf thanks to the group.

My tumblr username is essentially the same as my FFN, but with a dash in between words.

The tags are somewhat unhelpful. And what is the following etiquette? Is there any? Such confusion.

Oh, London and Wales were lovely, btw. Wales is beautiful (though the driving is crazy, no thanks to our GPS) and London was just amazing. I wasn't there long enough. I need to go back.

I have no idea. You seem to be able to follow any blog you'd like, from what I've seen. I am more curious about the purpose. Are you only meant to reblog things (as obviously I can't make gifs myself), or is it also like LJ where you post written entries? Someone needs to enlighten me.

Good! I am glad you liked London :)

You can make text posts. Some people post fic and other meta, but I have heard it is not super-handy for text-based stuff. I am still not sure how useful I'll find it. I think you can follow any blog. It just seems weird to do it without any kinds of heads up...
