Sometimes I feel bad that I don't update this very often. Some of my f-list update every day, telling people how their day went, and I really like reading those. It's fun to get a peek into a friend's life. But then I realize that I don't actually *do* anything worth writing about. Not most of the time, at least. I work all night, go home and spend ( Read more... )

Greetings from another who doesn't post all that regularly. Maybe sometime I'll post one week worth of "what happened today"s. (Great, now "One Week" is playing in my head.)

It's the "not-real" factor. In general, we as people have a limited ability to disassociate empathy. A picture of a human boy will raise empathy, even though it's a manga-style picture in a fictional manga story.

My two cents.

getting all caught up.

i guess it really depends on my mood and what's going on my life. i know there are times i post many times a day and other times i go several days, but i guess for the most part i'm pretty prolific.

and then there's the summer when i don't have internet access... *shrugs* life is odd.
