Do people even give a shit about livejournal anymore? Why should they when we, as a species, have evolved to the point where even people who aren't horrifically awkward socially are posting what they're up to at any given moment all up in the internet? These people probably LIKED high school and work out regularly.
Whatever happened to just being a creepy nerd who felt understood when they discussed, via IM, how misunderstood they felt? Well. Ells and gees, I say we gotta take this shit back.
Over ten years ago I started writing on here about shit that doesn't really matter. I mean, sure, my thoughts and feelings? Totally valid. Just saying I never managed to cure cancer. And yet I have livejournal to thank for some of my best, worst and most forevery connections to actual fellow humans.
I'm not angry - just dissapointed in us as a creepy anti-social community. Oh, so you grew up, got a job and are in some stable relationship now? KUDOS. Maybe I did or didn't or unsuccessfully did that too, but damnit, I'm still as terrified of everything as you and damnit, just because you can afford to see a shrink now does not mean you can deny us your rants. So I challenge and pitifully beg of you, livejournal family. Make me feel like I'm not the only lonely, startled and baffled "grownup" who still needs this. Bring it.
