In which Sam can't social network
It is no secret that I love the internet. Like, really really love it. I made my best friends here. Being online is the first thing I do in the morning, and the last thing I do at night. I would be interested to add up how many hours my laptop is on in an average week, but I fear the results would terrify me. The concept of not being online daily makes me wonder what on Earth other people do with their lives.
So yeah. I'm a fan of all the social networking, all the time. But LiveJournal, LiveJournal is my home. It's where I belong. Facebook is tolerated mostly because I have to. Twitter I adore but I'm failing at spectacularly at the moment, as I appear to have run out of interesting/sarcastic things to say about my everyday life. And tumblr...well, tumblr probably zaps most of my time sheer quantity wise, but I pretty much don't understand it. I mostly joined for the reblogging of the pretty pictures, but apparently other stuff happens there, some of it actual, serious blogging. But I have no idea how to find this or make it work or how to separate it from the OMG JENSEN ACKLES AND HIS FACE mainstream. It's all highly confusing.
I belong to lj. I appreciate I haven't been doing it justice lately (and that lately = well over a year), and I appreciate that everything has it's heyday, and that LiveJournal's has probably passed. But this is where I want to be. I understand how to communicate properly here. I learn stuff on a daily basis. It's fun, and it's serious, and I get to understand my friends here in a way I never could elsewhere. LJ is personal in a way that a bunch of gifs or 140 characters can never be. So I will proudly do my bit in taking part in the 100 Things challenge, in the hope that we can all keep this little corner of internet heaven alive. My chosen subject is 100 Memories. I'm sure even my absent mind can pull 100 of those out of the recesses of my brain.
{Take the 100 Things challenge!}
