10 years ago...

... I created a LiveJournal.

Had I only known how much it would change my life, ups and downs, I would have thought twice about it.

I even named my first entry First Entry... It's HERE if you wanna see. I was writing much shorter entries back then. Short and quick. And I remember I shared a TON of memes and tests ( Read more... )

brother, touched, livejournal, work, peting, life, school, dad, interesting, love, vampire-larp, my love, lj-crazyness, mom, unemployment fund, ranting, student union, lj-anniversary, health, mother, job search, kid, family, friends

Thank you. :-) Strange how time flies, eh? *grin*

Yeah, two to three comments per post seems about average these days...everyone's moved on to tumblr and Twitter I think. Only a few people on LJ or DW anymore.

I don't even think it's negativity about the site as much as it is people have moved on to other places. I see them being positive and fannish on Tumblr now, not here. LJ made this space a place that was no longer really fan-safe.

I'm still set up for cross-posting from DW, but I don't think I'll have a paid account here ever again, sadly. And I just don't make the time I used to for posting and interacting here because...there just aren't as many people and conversations as there used to be.

It is sad, but as you say, things change.

It's my home, so years and years ago I got myself a permanent account. I don't regret it for a second.

If fandom's actually took the time to find out facts and stop listening to idiots... They'd know the truth, but alas...

Funny about DW... When it was opened/released or whatever you wanna call it, that site was the "savior" of all those who liked the "real LJ". And to be honest, it's mostly dead there. gajastar said she'd posted fic exclusively there... and no one reads it. *shrug* Savior indeed.

Happy birthday to you LJ! =D

kseenaa December 18 2013, 20:25:34 UTC

Thank you. :-) I can't believe I've been here this long. Mind-blowing. :-)

Happy LJ anniversary!

I think it's not that people are negative about LJ. It's just the fannish stuff has gone elsewhere -principally Tumblr. Sites like that have made people a bit lazy these days, I think. If there isn't a 'like' button they just don't bother saying anything.

Hmm... I think you might be on to something there when saying people are getting lazy. Might be the reason Tumblr is so popular. Don't have to do much work there, do you?

shapinglight January 8 2014, 11:26:16 UTC

You don't. You just press a button. Twitter hasn't helped either. Nobody wants to be bothered to read anything longer than 100 characters.

kseenaa January 11 2014, 22:24:22 UTC

Yeah, that's true... I will admit to being addicted to Twitter, since it is an outlet when I am home alone with Alexandra. Easy to use on the phone... I do get what you are saying though. :-P

"Disgustingly honest person here." - haha i love it! i too, am disgustingly honest. it's to a fault though because i am quite bad at job interviews since they sort of expect you to lie in those ( ... )

I have a few RP-journals at GJ, but since those RP's never ended up anything, I never got into it much. Even have a few RP journals on Insane Journal. :-) I've always prefered LJ as it were, though.

10 years is a very very long time, yeah. I meet peting73 same year I created this LJ. And now we live togethar and have a daughter that's 1 ½ years old... Mind-blowing to say the least...

I will admit I am somewhat addicted to Twitter though. It's my outlet when I am home alone with my kid. Tumblr I've never really... gotten. Or liked. I look at gay porn mostly on that site. X-D

roseraves January 10 2014, 17:26:33 UTC

wow, did you meet him on LJ? i can't imagine!

i only use twitter to "livetweet" two tv shows but that's about it. i feel sorry for the people who havent blocked me yet and who don't care because i tweet about 200 times an episode but it is only once a week so there's that.

haha, i do "get" tumblr but at the same time it's like.. why does it advertise itself as a blogging site because it seems like no one on there blogs? everyone just posts photos. it's basically instagram except without the filters and with more fangirls. haha it is a good place for gay porn though, i'd imagine.

kseenaa January 11 2014, 22:14:00 UTC

No, I didn't meet him on LJ. :-) We were both active in clubs at the Student Union and volunteered at the Student Union Pub doing work there. :-) Was a lot of fun and we became friends first, before we ended up a couple. :-) Best way to do it, if you ask me. ;-)

I KNOW! That's what bothers me with Tumblr to. I mean, sure. I have one. And I reblogg pretty pictures or gif-sets sometimes... But it's definitively not a blogging-site. I mean, there are those that adds this addon Disqus to their Tumblrs so they can get comments going on their posts... And that just makes me LOL, because they basically try to turn it into an LJ (or anything like it) then. Silliness... *shrug*
