Well, I kind of went past the end date of Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, and in fact haven't been crossposting my entries to LJ for an entire month now. I've found this to be an interesting exercise...and in fact, I've decided that it was much easier than I thought it'd be for me to not post my entries on LJ.
So, I expect this to be my last entry posted to my personal journal on LiveJournal. Maybe there will be certain LJ PSAs that I will want to crosspost, but those will be few and far between. If anyone on the LJ side wants to continue reading my entries, you're more than welcome on the Dreamwidth side. I have a whole bunch of invite codes (just let me know if you'd like one), or you can use OpenID--I should have the OpenID account of everyone I'm friends with on LJ also friended on DW. Or you're welcome to create a syndicated account on LJ of my DW feed (
http://janinedog.dreamwidth.org/data/rss )--though that will only show public entries. Oh, and you can also
track my posts if you have a DW account.
That said, I totally understand if you don't want to bother with coming over to DW to read my entries. I am okay with this--I've been doing it for a month now and haven't felt like I've been missing too much. Don't feel like you need to justify yourself to me or anything--it's okay, really.
Also, I will continue to read my friends page on LJ (and comment as appropriate, though I don't comment too often). I may cut down on my friends list a little bit (not sure about that yet), but I still do and will continue to read LJ every day, just as I do with DW (and Facebook). So I would like to continue to be friended by those of you who currently friend me, so that I can still read your locked entries. Obviously, if you'd like to defriend me, you can, but I wanted to make sure it was clear that I do still want to be friended because I still want to read everyone's entries.
I haven't yet decided what I'm doing with my current entries on LJ. I'm thinking I'll make everything private at some point. Not yet, though. I'll figure it out later.
As an aside, some of you may or may not have already noticed that I'm not in the LJ IRC channels anymore. I randomly got disconnected one day, and then when I reconnected, I found out that my nick had become unregistered. If I wanted to go back into the (one) private channel I was in, I would have had to re-register and then contact someone about it. In the end, I decided that I wasn't doing much in LJ IRC anyway, besides reading the conversations sometimes. So, I took it as a sign and just logged off for good. I'm still around on various IM services, on DW (and DW IRC), on Facebook, and in email--so feel free to contact me if you need/want to.
Also, I did want to say that this decision has nothing to do with any of you, if that wasn't obvious. It only has to do with where I'm comfortable having my online presence be now. I've slowly grown apart from LJ ever since I was laid off, and I'm okay with that. I don't really want to be on a ton of different sites anyway. :)
Anyway, I suppose that's it. Feel free to contact me privately if you want to.
