I noticed that all but 3 of my livejournal friends post anymore, and only two comment on rare occasion. I know I don't post often, but it seems people aren't so interested in thorough reading and writing anymore, in lieu of links and commentary a la facebook and twitter. Maybe it's time to give this thing up?

I know what you mean, I've dropped off some. When I look back too this, I feel moved to more or less live my life. I am, and I'm always thinking I should come back here. Post more, let my life come out anymore. I just don't have the passion anymore. And what more, It feels difficult too talk to old friends anymore. Feels as If i'm not on the same plane that you're on. Feelings of being inadequate. You and Grant are the last ones I really seem to see posting anymore, and I love the two of you. The two of you, you're always in the back of my head, you're always the ones Keeping me Connected with myself.
I'm not sure with where I"m going with this anymore, nor am I sure that I want to keep going. Out of fear of sounding like a Creep.

Wow...I saw you posted right after I wrote this. I know what you mean about it being difficult to talk to old friends. i would apply the same lovely sentiment to you and grant that you wrote. it's like, i don't want to give up the link to my past, but no one else is really participating, and i feel so narcissistic writing about my life anymore. like anyone wants to hear about what i bought at the farmers' market or the drink i had with someone. i don't know what to say anymore. we (americans, humans, us) interchange words and information and metadata at all times, but we don't really communicate. there's something strange about all the happy exclamation marks in emails from old friends...like the extra ones are there to make up for lost time or apologize or something...
i like hearing from you, tom :)

Bah, giving up livejournal would be an act of craven cowardice. I am against it. Also fuck facebook, shit is lame.

But if you were on facebook then i would know whenever you gave your girlfriend a virtual teddy bear, or became a fan of the young ones. this is stuff i need to know!

alright then. onward.

The whole application of Facebook, just, the thing in whole, scares me.

I get creeped out when people I barely knew from Highschool find me and want to be friends.

I don't think you should. I dropped you by accident. As i said, that's been rectified ( ... )

i'd like to be on here more. honestly. i wish i had more to say from day to day. wish my friends did too. i hate facebook. i ditched myspace. twitter's interesting because i'm following people like neil gaiman and trent and jemaine from flight of the conchords and john hodgman and michael ian black - and they're all pretty fucking funny.

livejournal gonna go the way of ninchat and ninternet? maybe the things that bind us end up just driving a wedge down between us when we change.

nevermind me. ridiculous musings.

i've been wondering the same thing.

feels like i have nothing interesting to say anymore. and i get real sick of nothing but jonas bros posts from certain parties.

snowpea March 2 2009, 17:11:24 UTC

jonas brothers? who the hell do you know that posts about jonas bothers? please tell me it's a niece or someone of appropriate age. i hate those boys. they're all over the crap teevee programs i have to promote at work. i feel sorry for the them and all the cocaine they're gonna waste when they find out they suck. unless they've found jesus, the ultimate sycophant.
