I woke up this morning, i smelled an awful scent that surely would make me be on bad terms. I looked over, and saw dog shit on my floor. Wonderful. I then went on livejournal, posted in my communities that I would delay on making icons because of excessive dog shit in my room. I pressed 'post new entry' and then clicked the minimize button on my window. I slowly pushed my chair back, stood up and sighed, going to clean.. the dog shit in my room. When I get back online, I'll tell everyone how long it took, approximately what I was wearing, and when I would have sex and my period. The End.
Some people actually do that stuff that I just wrote above. It's amusing but scary.
I don't think people realize what so ever. I mean if you're going to tell us your life story, just say 'I have certain issues,' or the plain ol' 'I was delayed by my personal life' would do. don't tell us what time you when to the John please.
'please tell me more about your life story, I'm really interested :|' I got woken up by my cat this morning. I had some coffee and Coco Wheats for breakfast....
Seriously though, why do people do that? An icon post is NOT a blog.
So today I had the audacity to post a mildly rambling story about my life on my blog, because that's what blogs are for sometimes, since I'm not a celebrity or a journalist paid to include articles of substance. And I thought I'd include some icons, since making graphics for use on a blogging site is my hobby, and I like to share them with other people who I've come to know through the online community, and who might care to read what I have to say. I know there will be people who don't care, but I'm pretty sure they can be trusted to skip over the personal stuff and click directly on the link to get to what they want, which is the pretty pictures. It's not like I'm including TMI details about my personal hygiene or medical history, like those annoying people talking on their cell phones on the bus. But be sure to check out where I've moved my icons, because that could be relevant to your interests.

I don't know about everyone else, but I have separate journals. One for my fanfic, one for my icons, and one for my personal blathering. Rarely do I cross over into the other journals. If I'm posting to a community, I keep on topic. If I'm posting icons, I don't post my life story. If people want to read about what's going on in my life, they can add my personal journal. If they want icons, then they can add my icon journal. But I know that, regardless of LJ being a blogging site, people that want to read my fanfic or view my icons don't necessarily care what I ate for breakfast.
Now it's one thing if this occurred in someone's journal that is meant for both personal blogging and icons, but I presume that it was in an icon community which is not meant for that stuff and is pretty off topic and unnecessary.
I also have separate journals for separate aspects of my fandom life, but I don't think it's unreasonable to have a small digression on an icon post if it's in your own icon journal. If that were posted to a fandom community or contest, then the rant makes more sense. But it seems that it was posted on the person's normal journal ("Don't ask my why I didn't post this at my community cause I don't know").
Also, I missed where mild rambling about where icons can be found = LIFE STORY OMG. It's not like the person posted about their colonoscopy. The person posted about the graphics journal, ffs.
EDIT: Sorry; I read this comment over and it seemed unnecessarily harsh. I'm not attacking you. D:
like elessar assumed, this was at an icon community, not the person's personal community/journal :/
and my main problem is that it reads like a train of thought ("Hmm... I'm thinking of having this as both personal/graphics journal. We'll see."). Like this person is just typing for typings sake, which is completely unnecessary in an icon community.
IDK, I do it all the time. Well, kind of. I sometimes ramble on (and on and on and on) when I post icons. Not always, but sometimes. Esp. when I'm too lazy to create a separate post for the icons and just tack them on at the end. Also, am too lazy to actually use my icon journal and post all my icons to my personal journal (which I hardly update anymore due to lack of time).
To the community? Oh no. Just on my journal - I may x-post to some comms from there, but I only include icon-related stuff at the community itself and I link directly to the icons so unsuspecting person can skip over uninteresting materials.
Ahd cheers for driving! Did you hit anything? Much more interesting than my day. I just took care of Lucie all day and watched reruns of BSG.
:P no, but I almost did. My instructor was telling me to move out into traffic, but I was cautious because I didn't think that the car moving towards where we were going to be was paying any attention. So I didn't move forwards, which was a good thing because if I had moved forwards we would have definitely crashed :|
BSG is totally rocking my world at the moment, I just caught up with this season (see: default icon :D) and how is Lucie stuff going? Last I heard, the birthing process was a lot breezier than expected :P

It's the asking permission to post celebrity icons in the same post as fashion icons that really gets me XD
