Swords or Pistols?

I don't know what's killing LJ for me. Was it getting bought out by another country/culture or is it that Twitter has changed the paradigm so much that LJ posts are either shorter or outright displaced by Tweets ( Read more... )

I dunno. Is it just me or has the furor of FehtLife cooled down some also in the past year?

I feel the same way about LJ. So much so that I really did not want to say that much in this comment.

Sad really...

And you didn't even use up all 140 characters to not say that much. Very funny!

You can find me on twitter under this name. Come to the dark side.

Oh, I so do appreciate being seduced by the dark side, especially by someone as deliciously evil as yourself.

Let's one day dance, you and I, in a Gypsy Knife Fight. Barefoot. Me in a jock, you in a thong. Eight foot long red sash, grasped at the ends only by our teeth. Sharp switchblades. One per. First one to get in 3 cuts wins. No cuts above the shoulders. No deep punctures.

First aid is vodka or bourbon, administered externally and/or internally. Gauze. And cheers from the crowd.

My friends page is pretty quiet these days, too, though there are people on LJ who do post, that I will NEVER stop reading.

I'm writing tons of mostly very personal stuff almost every single day, and I'd invite you back to read again, but that didn't seem to work out very well last time around. Hmmmm. Things have changed for me and I hope there will be even more changes soon.

Twitter, Facebook and the like have created UBERNetworking that doesn't really require much thought. I actually try to make writing here of some substance but sometimes I find I don't have much to say. That will change I am sure. I like LJ because it hasn't been co-opted into the bottomless chasm we call micro-blogging.

Titties and Beer Voodoo Daddy. :)

But on some level it has. I see Twitter digests on LJ a lot now. You do it too. The Week On Twitter. I think Twitter helps scratch the itch to reach out and stay in some kind of network contact. But the content has dwindled down to banal, inconsequential and trivial posts for the most part. But what can you really expect in 140 characters? Except maybe really brilliant haiku?
