I barely update here... ever. but I found a site that seems to fit my tastes more than livejournal. You can't put massive posts in it but its fun for during the day quick updates, things you might otherwise forget to put into your LJ or really just aren't that important. Its the kind of social networking that doesn't have so much dang drama (i think so anyways)! I wouldnt say this is something to use _instead_ of an LJ but if you are like me then you'll probably enjoy it too.
