you will notice mine not longer goes to my livejournal. rejoice!

[madcaptenor]

I've been unfriending people whose twitter goes to their livejournal. If I wanted to read their twitter, I'd read it.

The primary usefulness of LJ is that it's got a pretty-good privacy locking mechanism combined with the friends page... there simply isn't a better way to say "argh, I hate my boss!" to all of your friends and only your friends.

[madcaptenor]

yeah, but only if all your friends use Twitter.

[swirl_girlx]

EXACTLY. you are one of the last sane people on this earth.

I like content. I dont care about "arg i hate my boss" or "wow a cute dog!" fuck your boss, and the dog. I only want to fucking here from anyone when there's actual content. At least a full sentence.

[madcaptenor]

I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad about being one of the last sane people on earth.

On the one hand, I'm happy because I'm still sane.

On the other hand, it's kind of depressing to live in a world where I'm one of the very few sane people.

[swirl_girlx]

oh my god, I used the wrong verson of "hear". The shame I feel is deep.

[madcaptenor]

I totally didn't notice.

Or maybe I did notice and I read it as sometrhing like "I only want to fucking be here when there's actual content."

Ooh, that's an excellent way to think of what I said. I mean, I check LJ pretty much to see what you and four other people are doing, and to look at pictures of sexy people with dreadlocks. (mmm...sexy people with dreadlocks...)
I haven't been enamoured with any social aspect of the internet for a couple years now. As far as I'm concerned, the internet's a big library where we should all shush and read our books.

[madcaptenor]

so, um, where does one find pictures of sexy people with dreadlocks?

and LJ is kind of dying, anyway. the People That Make The Rules have declared it uncool. I can't figure out why, except that they seem to have a rule that nothing can be cool for a long period of time. who the fuck makes these rules?

[agent139]

Kind of ironic, given the sentiment of the rest. ;)

[swirl_girlx]

oh, thanki god . I missed content on your journal most of all.

now write something incomprehensible with lots of wordplay. extra points for obscure popculture referals!

[nicholasreed]

I promise nothing!

Though I DID write an entry in my fancy shmancy writin' blog... http://nicholasdanger.blogspot.com/2008/12/in-which-beginnings-of-things-are.html
