LJI topic 7, "where I'm from": I am from the Internet, from a little city called Livejournal.

My country is the internet; my state is the mid-90s to the mid-00s, and my city is Livejournal, though I have lived in other cities for short periods of time, and I visit other cities often.

Okay, this was a different take on the subject. I like it.

I think, in some ways, all of us are from the internet. I remember when people were "embarrassed" to state that they made a friendship online, like that "wasn't natural." Now, there's nothing more natural, is there? You can really learn a lot about a person's likes, hopes, desires, dreams, psychology, humanity by reading what they write, and no place was better than right here at the old El Jay.

Really, LiveJournal is still, for my money, the best social media site. It can be used like twitter, facebook, instagram, tumblr, and has the superior threaded comment function, which allows people to not just comment to the poster, but to other commenters! That makes LJ the most social site of all!

A very revealing and wonderful entry.

That was a good read- thank you. I feel like I too am from the internet in a smaller way. It does feel like home to me.

>. My LJ friends list is like a neighborhood where every single house is owned by a friend of mine

This is a great way of putting it! I've been on LJ since 2000 & have no intention of giving it up.

We both responded to the prompt in the same way :) And I am happy to know you better by reading this body of work. It's very relate-able coz I too have online friends and have met them personally and it turned out to be a great experience.

A great read!
