Of Course You Won't See This
Did an LJ tracker today for the first time in months and found that about 12 folks who had been following me had all deleted their journals. Couple of 'em are folks I really hate to see leave LJ. Also had a couple of folks remove me from their friends list and in both cases, well, I'm not surprised. One of 'em gets bored with folks if they don't post often (that'd be me) and one of 'em - well, we have reached an area in our relationship where interacting and talking don't really happen anymore... so yeah, that wasn't too surprising either.
On the plus side, I re-upped with a couple of folks who had gone to Friends Only and who I had missed the change so now I can get back to keeping up with them.
There's a strange feeling in the LJ air - at first I thought it was sadness at the passing of so many blogs... but perhaps it's more like The Stand - where we have all survived the Facebook plague (or been exposed to it and lived) and now we'll choose up sides and carry on.
It's Saturday, it's 12:24pm, and I really do think I should go outside today. Between WoW and work I've been doing some sincere hermit'ing and in doing so I've noticed I'm more inclined to be a drive-by asshole on the internet. I think that comes from being unhappy in my own backyard. And since the unhappyness is coming from being sedintary I think it's time to introduce more moderation into certain aspects of what has become my daily routine (i.e. - internet, WoW or DVDs, work, Internet, DVDs, sleep) repeat. Notice, I'm not blaming this on World of Warcraft - I had other things to keep me indoors before getting back into WoW. I blame this on my own lack of motivation and general interest in, well, just about everything.
So - I am going to go outside... and live... or something...
Wish me luck!
