Hi, livejournal
....last night I was looking for something here and I couldn't find it, but I was reminded of so many reasons why I preferred this to Facebook, or to random blogging (which, I am working on a random crafts blog). Livejournal was where you could actually rant and rave about how shitty things are or what's pissing you off. It's like your true self. Everything on FB frequently is fake and happy. If everyones lives were just like they posted on FB, our lives would be perfect. I never post anything negative on Facebook because I'm too conscious of how many people I'm only marginally acquainted with are reading it and because it just seems too goddamn shallow for true emotions.
*FB doesn't know that I was diagnosed with something scary last month.
*FB doesn't know I hate my boss
*FB doesn't know I'm afraid I might have cancer, yet partially hoping I do because there needs to be a reason why I feel this way
*FB doesn't know that I worry about how my inability to get knocked up will affect my relationship
*FB doesn't know that the compulsion to create things isn't necessarily a good thing, it's just something I really fucking need to do.
*FB doesn't know that I'm afraid of the way right wing conservative christianity has co-opted my country and declared war on women.
In short, FB doesn't really know me at all, does it?
