(no subject)
I think you have to be a very interesting person to have a livejournal that I am dying to read. You have to be pretty confident about your allure to others to have a public livejournal, otherwise you would always post private. If you just post to friends, you're probably scared about who can read your shit. If you post to certain friends, you are probably more comfortable writing in a generally-speaking kind of way rather than sending e-mails. Or maybe you, too, are scared that the certain people you post to don't really care. I like to mix it up. Sometimes I'm feeling pretty good about myself and how interesting I am and I post public and hope that someone I don't like reads it and realizes that I'm so cool and interesting. Then I hope they get addicted to me like I do them and find ways to read my more private posts. I like the thought of driving people crazy with intrigue even if it rarely happens. When I post friends-only, I know there's no such thing. If it's on the internet, it's for everyone to see (a lil thing called ctril a+ ctrl x & ctrl v. And no one is afraid to use it.) Anyway, I post like that for friends to have a glimpse into what I am doing, what I am feeling and how I feel about what I'm doing and what I'm doing about how I'm feeling. Sometimes it gets a bit too ambiguous and boring and long and tedious and difficult to read (I was once html savvy, now I am cpu n00b) and everything that deafens my cool, interesting, mysterious nature. I am deeply offended when people skim through my posts. How can you skim through a glimpse?
I can only midly accept this type of skimming from the people who don't write. I don't accept those people though. I feel like I'm in a movie and I'm the four year old saying "if you show me yours, I'll show you mine" (I say movie because we all know that nobody has such luck. I was a very curious child and no one was willing to trade. wtf, boys.) Like I said earlier, though, if it is not the internet, it is for everyone to read. Still, I have a trust in this type of community that each of us has created. There are many times where there are lj references in real life and anyone who is not part of the team is completely out of the loop. But most of all, I love reading and feeding my curiousity. People say they love to read and they read a lot and their library is filled with Gossip Girl and Twilight (the former being incredibly great, but not exactly "reading" and the latter being kind of out of my league since I've only read [and quoted] the back cover). But I really love to read. My library is less than impressive and some of them were huge misses. Sometimes I like stories and sometimes I like facts but I always like analyzing how someone said something and why they chose to say it like that. Sometimes I read entries and I don't care about what they're doing and how they're feeling and soooooo on but how they decided the best way to say it was. Sometimes people get loco and use phrases they don't know how to and sometimes they confuse they're there and their and some of them don't even know how to use their words so they just put pictures and sometimes they can't organize their thoughts but they really want to write so they number the post and sometimes they are so fed up with being scared that they take a risk and write that type of post you write to x amount of people and say what you think you've always wanted to say and all the classics that make me pull my hair. I used to be weirded out by some of the subject matter that people deemed appropriate for their journals, like talking about their family life and what sux, SCHOOL, sad about friends, adventures and misadventures and other everyday thoughts. I used to be really really weirded out by posts that could be posted anytime. Those are definitely my favourite to read. The thoughts and ideas that come to you guys and you finally find the right to time write about them. They are always thoroughly thought-out, or completely open-ended because you needed to write it down to figure it out anyway. They are not date-dependent and [hopefully] they could be read anytime in the future or have been read anytime in the past and would still be completely relevent. Timelessness is just so intriguing.
