Goodbye
Livejournal tells me I haven't updated in 15 weeks. To anyone who was worried, I am both alive and safe. I haven't updated because I no longer trust LiveJournal, or it's parent company Six Apart for much of anything. I began feeling uneasy even before the buyout with the announcement of plus accounts -- I'm not comfortable with someone profiting off my journal, and even then I had a sense of how slippery the slope we were starting down was. What feels like hundreds of betrayals of my trust later, though I know it's only about a dozen, I decided I was no longer going to keep a LiveJournal, but I've been experiencing some major separation anxiety -- I've got five years of history on LJ, which I'm going to be downloading and saving soon in preparation for the final deletion of my account.
This feels like an appropriate time to close this journal anyhow. I'm sad for the entries I didn't write this summer because I didn't feel safe posting them, but I arrived at college on Friday and it was time to close the wanderingdavi chapter anyhow, but the next chapter won't be on LiveJournal. It might be a much sparser journal, kept in my slingshot day planner, but if I decide to continue blogging, I'll probably open a journal on FUUSE (http://www.fuuse.com/) for no reason other than if I feel like I'm being sold out I can go to Jonny Fire's house and beat him up. Not that I imagine it would come to that.
I was going to write a long "this is your fault 6A" last entry enumerating the many transgressions of trust the company has committed, but that's been done and I don't see any reason to rehash everything that's transpired.
Goodbye, old friend.
