LJ is becoming a "well, back in my day.." type of entity.
About a week ago, I jokingly mentioned that "Livejournal's dinosaursing the fuck out" in a bulletin. I have three thoughts on that:
1. I'm pretty sure some people didn't get what I meant by "dinosaursing".
2. Of those who did understand, most of them were not amused.
3. I'm not joking. I'm pretty sure LJ's in a freefall.
I guess I'm sad about it- I've always had a strange relationship with LJ. It started light-heartedly in the West Laville dorms as a way to keep in touch with buddies back home and as a place to write after that 4th beer- back when my 4th beer meant I was craaaazy tipsy. Then it became a place for my deep thoughts and saddened rants on love loss. In the grad school times, it was my visual reminder of my unhappiness, and lately has become an outlet for little quips and MySpace bulletins. Over the years of writing, you'd think I would have gotten more personal with my posts, but I've actually become less emotionally invested in them.. on here, anyways.
So, now we're here. I keep erasing things I write after this, so I'm just giving up and calling it an entry.
