Pretentious Meta Post of the Day

[alchemi]

To me, it looks like livejournal is going the way of the personal home page. Two years ago, during a day my friends list would have 80 or 100 new posts, many of them interesting. Yesterday I think it was five. This is not an isolated incident - it is a year long trend. On top of that, I get the impression it's true of a lot of other people too

I memoried.

I figured I should comment.

Excellent. One person closer to a cult of personality. How many people do those require?

Oddly enough, I did once post about actual eggplant, and got more responses than I really expected.

I skim, and I try to skim relevantly, if that makes any sense.

I do have one friend who is perpetually astonished to (re-)learn that I have a son.

See the comment below you, FYI.

I tend to miss the little details like children, spouses, etc.

Well it works...

Consider it an experiment.

I mostly post (somewhat) thoughtful posts.

Then I tried what you posted.

It soooooo works.

p.s. I hate eggplant too. It's a compelling post that demands a response.

This is all so very true. I know I need to comment more. And I look back at my old posts, which were generally a couple of lines long and just dumb. Now I feel like I have to be saying something of import. Though more and more I'm realizing the posts I make that generate the most commentary are either about nekkidness or just angry screaming about work. So maybe more of those are in the works!

[alchemi]

I will say this, nekkidness is about 99.9999999999% likely to get a comment from me. Screaming about work is also good. The later because it tends to be simple and easy to relate too.

I will say this: if I had to choose between you commenting more and you posting more, I'd choose the later.

i'm coming back and reading this post again. you and i are SO DIFFERENT in the ways we use LJ
