so... hi
here we are.
i don't know for how long.
we are longing for the intimacy of long-form social-media.
having a very-broken phone encourages this, but that will be fixed in a few days.
i'm not really sure what to say.
made a rather long post over on multiplicity comm about the nature of digital communication and what sets formats like livejournal apart, while simultaneously making it harder to use, especially while living a busy adult-life.
but maybe it's just that adult life makes you lazy and makes everything seem less urgent and less intimate.
sometimes i think that's a serious problem with humanity, yet, being pretty significantly human, we are not exactly immune.
at least we don't use facebook much anymore. god what a superficial waste of time. just enough connection to alleviate the guilt of not interacting with anyone you care about without actually... you know... really connecting.
somehow twitter works much better for us, which is strange given the character limit.
maybe because it's so spontaneous due to the ease-of-access on cellphones. i dunno.
problem with that is that almost none of the people i know from LJ or analogue life are on there.
if you are, hit us up @Puzzleclocks.
we're on there a lot. probably even without our phone.
anyway: NEWS
graduated from college like some kind of motivated adult person.
officially feel like a sellout because of simply moving on to search for a resume builder to become part of the great machine of "work force" that makes over half of society miserable.
plotting ways to overcome this situation, while simultaneously going along with it.
whatever happens, we need to move soon. at least out of this fucking awful house that's falling down around our ears and the landlord won't fix because he's a slumlordish asshole.
wanting to write again now that we have time, and writing isn't a thing that we have to do for school, psychologically.
i think if we can stop wasting time doing other things that actually seem less useful, we might get back into LJ.
it's a much more intimate format and seems more "real" than most other social media.
i'm probably repeating myself at this point, as is obvious from the previous
it's just been on my mind.
so off to bed, and maybe i'll be back on in less than 8 months this time...
i think it would be good for us, but we always say that. bleh.
