1 Year and 4 Odd Months Later...
... I'm trying again. That's apparently how long ago I wrote my last post here.
Like the last time, I don't know if this will last. But the truth is, even when I'm not doing it, I miss LiveJournal. It's more of a "meal" compared to the "snack" one gets with FaceBook or the others like it. That said, I've found a place in Goggle+ I enjoy even though it's mostly just pics of guys I think are cute and "soundbite" posts. There's a part of me that wants to declare I'm going to make a commitment to write something everyday. It's inspiring to see others who are able to do that (I'm looking at you cuboz ) but know it's just not a reality for me at this point in my life. While there is no denying the social-media aspects of LiveJ, I'd also like to treat it like a regular Journal - a place for me to get some thoughts out of my head.
The biggest downside to this is, LiveJ was something I did mostly on the side during a work day. Something to fill those in between moments. That's how I'm writing this post. But it's not just writing - I'd read my friends stuff too... which apparently I can't do now. There's been some kind of upgrade on the computer system here at work, and there are a handful of features I can't do on the few websites I might visit during a work day. I may find that I can't even post what I'm writing now, until I try - I'm no longer able to post anything on the art site where I share my art. And I can't see my friends posts for some reason, unless I go into my profile and look at each journal individually - it's very frustrating.
So I suppose I'll leave it at that for now. I'd hate to write more and then loose it all when I tried to post, which would just deflate my even want to try and utilize LiveJ any more. I guess we'll see what happens.
