Lest anyone say I didn't warn enough in advance, I'm pretty sure I'm deleting my journal for Lent next year. A few of my friends did it last year, and I'm curious what effect the absence of LJ from my life would have on my writing, my enjoyment of fandoms, my relationships with friends, and the way I experienced events in real life

Sounds like a great idea. Good luck.

Of course I'm now filled with trepidation centered on "OMG I WILL RETURN AND ALL MY FRIENDS WILL HAVE LEFT MEEEEE!"

*grin*

Seriously, though, I'm sort of excited.

[darkseaglass]

Yeah but then they weren't your friends. Better to know than not. I did that "idiot puts counter on post" thing and then had to go lick my wounds in a corner for a fortnight but you know what, I don't regret it, after the fact. And I really don't think you need to worry about it, honestly. You're pretty well loved around these here parts.

Counter on post? Like, to see how many people were really reading? Hee! Dude, I suspect fifty or fewer people have me on a "view every day" filter, and of those, twenty skim or skip. I wouldn't blame 'em a bit.

*clings to your leg* AWW I LOVE YOU ALL TOO. I'll have to resist just asking everyone to email me the whole time, because I do really dig my friends and LJ is how I talk to many of them. :(

"Like, to see how many people were really reading?"

That was not my intention, though if I'd been brainful, which I wasn't... but my point still holds.

I've been trying to remember your AIM address and keep forgetting to ask you. I want to bug you. ;-)

Yay bugging! I am very creative and call myself "xoverau" in the AIM and MSN world. I'm not always on, and when I'm running on only a couple hours' sleep I'm sometimes blocked to all but a few people so I don't go bug-eyed. But most times I'd be happy to talk to anybody who said hey.
