LJ seems to be dying down in the last couple of years now that people are getting more into short-form stuff like FB and Twitter. Which probably means there aren't a lot of people actually reading this journal anymore, even if they still have it friended. Fair enough

What's NPC's and MMO's? Actually your blog entertains me greatly but I didn't want to seem like this weird internet stalker and comment on everything. I'm personally not good at connecting with people in muggle space just cause the nerds/readers population around me is low and my twisted sense of humor is generally misunderstood. The internet allows me to find people the same kinda weird I am. Not that I'm calling you weird. Shutting up now.

MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online. Usually an RPG (role-playing game.) World of Warcraft, for instance, is an MMORPG.

NPC = Non-player characters. In a game, these are AIs/bots rather than other real-world people in the game. These are usually vendors, quest givers, etc.

And I am weird. And proud of it. ;)

Ah. I've never dared play a MMO. I can get so sucked into a relatively low-tech game like civilization 3 that if I ever let myself play WOW then I would be completely useless. Forever. Gutsing up enough to actually post the fic I write is already setting me well on my way to useless. I've given up caring if people think I'm weird.

I read this. I don't have words right now because work has fried my brain to a crisp.

Definitely something to think about

I guess it's this - technology has long been the domain of introverts - so its methods of communication have been geared towards the introvert as well. Extroverts are finally jumping in the sandbox*, and now there are more methods available that suit their wants and needs.

Excellent point.

I'm into the random blabbing, and sometimes get personal about it, even on FB and Twitter, but I still really, really need the long-form stuff for venting space. Writing's been my outlet since I got my first diary at 10, and without a journal-type space for it, I get really antsy.
