Three years of Livejournaling
It's been three years of active Livejournaling. I have never changed my layout and neither do I intend to change my mood theme anytime soon. They express myself so very well. But there are other things that did need revamping, like my userinfo. There, simple and clear.
I am also organising my memories thoroughly. I'll tell you when I am done. There are just too many posts. Way too many. And if it weren't for them, a good chunk of my life would be missing, like many previous periods, which are happily lost forever lalala not remembering. What I DO remember is 6 years ago, me riding on a bus home, and thinking how cool it would be if I had the means to share with the world my silly thoughts on whatever subject I happened to be interested at the moment. I could have never imagined this would prove such a wondrous tool. And I think I have kept here three of the best years of my life.
And now, for the spontaneous interview...
Why did you start Livejournaling?
Well, first my friend M gave me a code to create an account so that I could read her filtered entries. And some months later I started writing myself. Harry Potter gave way to Hikaru no Go, and then came Prince of Tennis to stay. Hunter x Hunter was a fast and deep crush, with Initial D running close, and Eyeshield21 one long-lasting touch-down.
What do you like best of Livejournal?
Absolute freedom of posting. Making friends and being kept updated about their lives, joys, woes and worries. Having lots of fun with the things I love, again, and again, and again. And bless the f-locks. Although I wonder how safe we really are behind them. We can never be too trusting.
What do you dislike in Livejournal?
Self-conscious posts of the "my life is so boring" "nobody reads this after all" "skip it, it's just my life" "I wonder if I should delete my journal" "this was such a pointless entry" kind. Extremely cryptic posts (just make it private and to hell with the intrigue!). Overpowered (by others or just themselves) people. Memes, goes without saying. And above all, people who spoil the fun in any way.
Of course, freedom of posting rules, and you have all the rights to post whatever you want in your journal, as long as you are not really hurting someone in some mean way (I know, memes don't yet classify as friends torture). Because of that, you. just.do.NOT.worry so much.
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Time together with time to spare
time to learn, time to care
some day, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
somewhere
