Sporadic Updating

Mar 22, 2012 18:14

I think it is fair to say I update here rather sporadically. In a way, I have sort of moved to tumblr but I also have not. Tumblr is where I get my history geek on. Facebook is where I play silly games. LJ is where I update about my life yet...I don't ( Read more... )

sick, work, school

Ow. Hope you get better soon.
I also got my first (and so far last!) case of shingles when I was 27. It's a dangerous year. XD

Thanks to the valacyclovir it is getting better. The blisters are starting to scab over so they itch so I have to resist scratching at them.

Interesting! Did you get yours because of stress too? Really the nerve pain is the worse.

Glad that it's getting better. I got mine from stress, too. Hellish weeks.

Slowly but surely. I am almost out of the antiviral medicine though...so I wonder if once I am out if it's all just pain management. The blisters have already scabbed over.

Hope you will get well soon.
I think it happened to me the same. :< I dont have anything exciting or spectacular to say. All is kinda the same, job searching, stress blah blah.

Thanks!

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's not that I don't wan to tell everyone here what I do but when the end of the day comes and I ask myself "what did I do today?" and it's "Nothing out of the ordinary" then I don't feel like sharing my boring routines.

I know what you mean.
It's like...you're so busy, but when you sit down and think about what you're actually doing, it's the same old stuff, so it doesn't really seem worth writing about.
I hope that you feel better soon!

Pretty much yeah! Plus a lot of people who used to update their LJs a lot have stopped posting frequently or just up and disappeared. I come here to read as much as I write and as much as I enjoy fan fiction, it's not the reason I joined LJ in the first place. (There is always lots of fan fiction to be found here it seems.)

Thanks. It is a crappy disease to get.

Yeah man, I still find myself thinking that I'm going to need HOURS to read my friends list every day just because that actually was what it was like for the longest time (especially if you could only check it once a day), and now it's not like that at all. Really sad, actually, especially since being the old fashioned person I am, I'm not ready to go and try to make a move elsewhere.

hideincarnate March 23 2012, 17:03:22 UTC

I know right?! That's how it used to be! Granted I do skim read but a lot of posts lately are...fan fiction. And I keep very few communities on my default friends view. It takes me maybe an hour to go through 120 - 140 posts.

I don't really want to move since dreamwidth and insanejournal or deadjournal or whatever they're called are basically the same as here, just smaller numbers. If my friends aren't there, why would I go there ?

It's hard to tell who has moved on to different platforms, or who has just blogging all together. I think...I think people our age have gotten very busy with real life and thus sites like LJ no longer have space in their lives, not on the grand scale it used to have. I've noticed my shift away from LJ before I even became more active on say facebook or tumblr. It's just...I don't know.

It seems to be the year for people (okay, people on my flist!) not to post very much. Even folk I've known for 10 years and who used to post every day are no longer doing it. Getting older and having different priorities... But I hope you will still swing by LJ occasionally, I like knowing how you're getting on!

Ugh, shingles, poor you :/ I hope you feel better soon!

hideincarnate March 23 2012, 14:27:28 UTC

Of course! I like LJ! If I didn't like the place I'd up and leave. I think I use it less because I have nothing I feel that is quality to post. When my external died, a lot of unposted pictures and videos went with it. I wanted to share those with you guys but now I can't - not until I have 1000 extra bucks or something to really spend on trying to get the data back ( ... )
