You saw my tumblr posts?

I only went there now because of trolleys and most my obsession and wasted time comes from not being able to customise the dashboard that -i- see. The themes you even pay for are just for -others- to see; that finally explained the explanation that tumblr is about showing your glammed up side, what you want to be. Seriously - I would never have guessed that customising and tweaking is only for other eyes only. All the damn add-ons no longer work with FF. I never understood how that could be different to all the other sites I don't use. Then there are racism and sexism and spoilers that nobody objects to.

I do it now, ages after yall got into it, because LJ feels dead or I'm too inhibited esp. with so many eclectic things that will only interest people subscribing to the tags. It's telling that only a single LJ person wanted to tell me their tumblr name!

I use it like Flickr, but it is quickr. I track art ceramics assemblage mixed media craft lino cut and other stuff. This I can't do anywhere else and I don't see it as dumbing down.

I get hooked into trying to manage the technology and understand weird ways of "liking" and end up reblogging rasmizar in order to have a fucking conversation with her.

Nope I haven't, I got into tumblr because of NCIS LA and got out of it pretty quick. I still follow some tumblr accounts but not many like I used to. I was mainly looking at tumblr sites for TV shows and didn't really like what I saw.

I was just asking because I had just struggled with it for the first time, and replied

And the killmoffat hate blogs were the first thing I saw re. TV.

I just wanted a little bit of nice Doctor Who :( but it was worse than what I already avoid on LJ. They kill Whedon and Kripke, too, but poor Steven gets the blind brunt of it).
