me @ my fellow millennials having visceral existential crises in the quote retweets!!!!!!

(for real though, if you enjoy YA rom-coms & musical theater and wanna preorder WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE or add it to goodreads, that is a thing you can do! https://t.co/yMbKMhbXMo) https://t.co/6LaPv6h3bL pic.twitter.com/3Qs3keg9Au

I think I only got a LiveJournal so I could join ONTD and lurked for a few years.

Same, but I also joined other ontd communities, like one about harry potter.

It sounds cute but I have a very low tolerance for cute books so I try to keep it to maybe one every two months. The premise doesn't interest me in the least so I'll wait till fellow ONTDers read it and share their impressions (since we all know goodreads reviews are worth shit).

I said this in the other post but this storyline of her dad writing about her mother on livejournal is very unrealistic because no teenage boys who were on livejournal in the 2000s has sex lives

I have had LJ since 2005 and as much as it was cringy when I was looking through some old entries recently lol, it is like having a diary of that time, so it’s fun at the same time.

I used to check out a bunch of communities like bookfails, bookish, sf_drama, etc. and various fandom communities, but I never really commented in any of them except the ontd offshoots (ONTD-political, ONTD-skating, etc.).
