LJ
Since creating my LJ about nine years ago, I haven't really edited my profile or interests list at all. The tag line for it reads "Random whinings of a confused and tormented 20-something." In 8 months that will no longer be accurate.
I can't stand to go back and read my old entries because I am way too embarrassed by them. But I suppose if I had think of theme to attach to the first couple years of my LJ it would be about a guy trying to understand why the world works the way it does and why he doesn't fit in it. After a while I got tired of posting my opinions on things and just got tired of posting in general. My LJ became much more superficial and empty. These days it's rare if I post more than once a month.
I always tell myself I'm gonna get back in to it. That I'll toughen up and be able handle criticism and people disagreeing with me. And I don't see why I shouldn't. I think I will start posting more frequently and candidly now but I think my postings will come from a different point of view than they used to. It makes sense considering that I'm a different person now. A lot of my musings and opinions are now centered around being an adult and what that means. I can see my posts being more about being a grown up rather than growing up. I think it's worth the experiment to see how that goes.
Another reason for my wanting to get back in to LJ is that facebook and twitter suck.
