(really, i'm just noodling around here)

[synecdochic]

A couple of conversations I've had tonight have solidified some more of my thinking about how I've been thinking about Dreamwidth-the-business (as opposed to Dreamwidth-the-project), and a couple of things connected in my head about why, precisely, things felt familiar, and I guess it's time for some drugged-up rambling through my own personal life

That would be very awesome. Going to be keeping an eye on DW as things develop! :)

OMG, you're on Mars? Pavonis Mons here, you?

That's what I was going to say! That that kind of permanence seems like it might be possible on the internet - maybe the internet alone - these days. But it does seem possible. And appealing.

I'm still boggled that there are people I started reading on Diaryland when I was sixteen and here I am, twenty-three years old and I still know them.

You just compared internetting to going to one's favorite diner.

This. Exactly this. Is what I want to be part of.

I want a usual booth and a plate of the daily special, in a place where everyone knows your name.

I grew up with the same sort of parental work ethic, but without the entrepreneurial flavor. I dream of working somewhere that feels like the sort of place you envision.

Sufficiency and continuity -- wonderful, wonderful concepts.

Rocking like a rocking thing!
