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

The only reason I want to go all the way and delete is because I am addicted. If my journal exists, a big part of me will be thinking, "OMG, what if I'm being friended and not friending back? What if I'm being defriended and people are getting pissed that I'm not taking them off the list? What if people want to join my comms or are asking me important questions about challenges and are thinking I'm just ignoring them? What if bad things are happening to my friends? What if people are feedbacking my stories and thinking I'm some horrible too-good-for-them snob because I'm not responding? Oh, crap, someone just replied with a really thoughtful, long comment and I can't answer! Maybe I could just respond anonymously with my name in the subject line. I'm really bored at work, it's no big deal if I just skim the friendsfriends." and so on. Deleting would force me to spend my time doing something else, and make it much easier to stick to the resolution.

But I don't want to lose my whole journal.

Feh.

*cuddles you*

Which logfiles, dare I ask?

I've been trying not to read them. THere was one where AJ was a stripper and Brian was a bartender and thought that AJ was getting it on with Kevin that was pretty cute, though.

I know what logs are like. I'll start reading and be sucked in for HOURS. :)

Speaking of, I've got a couple of AJs here who are Very Annoyed we haven't talked since the other night.

I KNOW. Tell me about it. I have annoyed Brians.

Also, one of my teeth is killing me.

are you likely to be on tonight? I can't really stay up late late because I have to be up tomorrow lunchtime to sell my fridge to someone.

sure, though cooper is back and will probably be telling us all kinds of fun "i've been gone ten million years and this is everything i did" things, and we'll be filling him in on the last ten million years in fandom, so i'll be multitasking. :)
