Well, It HAS been a while, hasn't it?
My last entry was December 23, 2013. That's... let's see... one, two... over 20 months ago. Why so long?
Well, the simple answer is that I saw my journal as something of a chronicle of my life. If I didn't make a post in a week, then I'd have to make a big post to catch people up. But... not to sound self-pitying or depressed or anything, but I am nothing special. Who freaking cares about my life? Judging by the lack of comments to most of my posts, even when I specifically asked for opinions on what I said or did, the answer was, "Nobody, really." And if nobody really cared, why bother posting?
But LJ is good for other things, too. There have been times when I wanted to muse on this or that, when I wanted to get my thoughts down on paper. (Well, in electrons.) Sort of just thinking out loud. Of course, I thought about my LJ, at those times, but dismissed it. Nobody reads it, and probably even less do now that I haven't made a post in a while.
But... heck, who cares? If I want to make a post on current events, or my thoughts on fiction tropes, or, yes, about my life, then I can. Replies would be nice, sure, but I'm going to try not to get discouraged if there aren't any. I'll just post when I feel like it, about whatever it is I feel like posting.
In short, this is now a blog, not a journal.
