What the heck am I doing back here?
I've told myself tens of times that I am breaking up with Livejournal and never coming back - except to read my friend journals of course. I document my life in a lot of places. This stems from a narcisistic tendency to think that everyone cares what is happening with me at all times, and because I cannot trust that they will all take the time to come to one place, I document things in all places.
In an effort to simplify my incredibly complicated and busy stay-at-home-mom and housewife life (laughter) I thought to divorce LJ using the excuse of the stupid commercials they make you watch now and start utilizing my actual blog to post EVERYTHING, rather than some things.
And then I realized.
LJ is sort of awesome, even with commercials.
Firstly, my LJ is not saturated with photos like my blog. So when I grab a story for my scrapbook, I can print it out and not have to edit photo content out.
Everyone in LJ friend land knows who Beebs, Munchkee and Doobie are.
Most importantly though, the archive feature in LJ is a priceless feature in my life, one that cannot be duplicated in any sort of acceptable fashion by my blog.
I guess that means I'm back.
For now.
