an entry where i ramble on for a while and then completely run out of steam

There’s something very special and sort of forgiving about livejournal. You can make mistakes here, say the wrong thing, use it as a confessional, document your day, reflect on events long past, reveal the secret shining desires and dreams of your heart, be a goof, be serious, be angry, fill it with squee, unload your worries and troubles, vent ( Read more... )

things that make me go arrgh, brain sludge, it's all about me, want, you, possible crotch scaldings, fast-forward, rewind, sweeping generalisations, insightful observations about life, mmm food

I couldn't agree with you more. I left LJ for awhile. I explored MySpace and Facebook, but I didn't like the character limits. I love wordy thoughts being expressed. I still use Facebook, but only to keep up with a few friends who simply don't have the time to be on LJ.

I explored Facebook as well and still have it, but became extremely annoyed with some of the dumb things people would post every 5 minutes it seemed. I mean who cares what you're eating for dinner every night or saying good night every day. I only keep it around now for material for my LJ, such as jokes, weird news stories, etc. I love LJ and have been on here since 2003 and can't imagine ever leaving. :)

I've been on LJ since 2001. I think it's insane the things people will post on Facebook. Who cares that you're going to work...just like everyone else? Attempts at being funny. I prefer getting to know people on LJ.

LJ for life.

Oh wow, I didn't even know LJ was around back in 2001. You're definitely a fellow LJ 4 lifer :)

Oh I couldn't agree more. So damn annoying what people post on there, the stupidest things. And there's no privacy either which annoys me. I don't like being tagged of where I was. I don't need people knowing I'm not home at a certain time.

Yeah, I find LJ much more intimate and the people more engaging and enjoyable to engage in conversations. I love seeing people interact as well on my LJ and become friends with one another. Truly brings a smile to my face.

I'm glad you agree with me, J. It's good training for your sidekickishness - you'll always have to agree with me when you take on that role, no matter what stupid things I say or do!
