now there has been a book written about Livejournal. Too bad it's not a serious sociological survey. Instead, it's a novel that takes place mostly in New York City, about a guy who reads a girl's Livejournal, becomes fascinated, ( Read more... )

i don't know, i think th "th" lingo [and yr whole dialect] is really different from other forms of internet speak, and it's really not that freakin hard to get with. in fact, it's really friendly in my mind. but i suppose that's what separates the flexible from the inflexible.
every comm has a different vibe. like many of the crews were funny anytime i popped in there, but this one sounded like a bunch of career academics who would be told of an exam, and then, say, ask the teacher what opinion she was looking for on it.
is it passé already to say JFGI [just fucking google it]? because that one guy did, and he found it really easily and basically if they didn't know what you were talking about, then THEY DIDN'T READ IT. but i didn't see you asking them to accept your opinion, or [my favorite oat] "you refuse to allow others to form their own opinion of the project, but prefer that we accept yours..." from bradwhatever. YOU OPINION REFUSER, MARIO! if that dude is in publishing, he's way off his game by not knowing about livejournal novels, just sayin.

@ some point I may have to face up to th fact that my departures from conventional spelling are hindering fluid communication w/ a certain segment of th population ... but that point has not arrived yet. What if ah tried 2 publish a book 4 real, 4 instance. No editor would allow me 2 truncate th definite article, w/o some sort of justification, and there is no justification.
In th meanwhile, I've got enough people to talk to, I don't need to court th conservatives of spelling, th str8wads of spelling.

about a year or so ago, my friend kore put up one of her poems on a poetry forum. it had "yr" in it, which she contends is for mental phonetic use, like a quick your/re/'re. of course it turned into what i felt was an unnecessarily heated argument about how she couldn't possibly be taken seriously with crap like yr in her poem and go back to livejournal. woah. she's been published before too, and we all know eachother through an experimental writing program [jason went & worked for it but i didn't go] where stuff like alt vernacular is normal and expected. nevermind that it's POETRY and pretty much anything goes.
i remember andy's journal in your entry from, was it 2 years ago? about? i seem to remember it around the heyday of 33O.
anyway, you can publish yourself with booksurge. get an isbn and everything, $500 setup fee and then they print on demand and ship them to you. jason wants to make all kinds of "books that shouldn't exist" with it, but so far we are just putting out a literary journal from the aforementioned writing program.
