I wish I updated my LJ more often.
looking back on the days when LJ was my NUMBER ONE site makes me chuckle.
it all stems from the 'hermit' of my username; when I moved to Calgary I really didn't have a great time making friends, or once I did meet people I didn't feel as though I could be myself. if you will.
so yay LJ, I found people who were awesome and vented a lot about life.
and then things changed again when I moved back to Toronto.
I got so immersed in my social life, catching up on the badass activities that my friends had been getting up to in the time I'd been gone. making a lot of new friends, gettin' in on the SCENES, ahahkillme.
there is a point to this- in the summer my loyalty changed to the evil ways of PURERAVE.
don't worry, I hadn't heard of it either. its own description:
Purerave is an online community of ravers, clubbers and party-goers. It allows for the unintrusive interaction of its members via instant messaging, galleries, journals, reviews, event listings, poetry and much more.
PR is sort of like facebook for ravers, as I like to think of it (I'm not a raver though, let's clarify), where a lot of people who are friends in REAL LIFE interact (in that way it's most like facebook). journal posts are generally short, lots of memes are involved, people complain about random shit and it's pretty low-key.
WHEREAS on LJ I always feel as though I need to impress someone. I know this makes no sense.
in conclusion:
I miss the LJ days, but I acknowledge things aren't the same anymore-- maybe I need a new username?
instead of maddethehermit i can be maddethebatshitcrazysleepdeprivedtool
