Facebook

Now everyone has Facebook, and everyone is friends on Facebook, and there's a ton more drama on Facebook than there ever was on LJ. There was a LOT of drama on LJ. The novelty of Facebook has worn off. One of the things I liked about FB was that people commented, so you know someone at least read your thoughts. Now it's kind of nice to fly under

And it is so nice to see you posting here again too! There is something totally un-fulfilling about FB. I have not been able to journal over there. I keep more bottled up there than I ever did here. I was going slightly insane. I think it is because so many "normal" everyday people were a part of FB. Complaints about work were shared on LJ, not FB. FB could be found by anyone, whereas my journal, is still slightly more hidden - or at least locked depending on the settings of the post.

I started coming back here regularly in February. I'm starting to see more and more people coming back. We are all saying the same thing. I still have my FB and I still post to it (cindy williams hipps if I don't have you friended there, but I think I do). However, LJ has my soul within it's pages. blood, sweat, tears, etc have gone into my LJ. FB has too many people that I went to school with that I wouldn't have talked about that stuff with anyway.

i agree. i'm much more diligent about reading posts here than on FB. and i'm finding that i don't really get too personal on FB either. glad to see you BOTH back and posting!

*hugs* I'm loving posting more. I even found games here on LJ and have made a few new friends from adding game people, but I'm not going overboard on adding people. Just enough for the max presents. I have about 27 playing the one game...so that is good. Some of them I am starting to keep up with and get to know, others they are just gonna be game people.

I am much more diligent here as well. I think it is because this is where half of us met, and we truly have gotten to know each other through meetings/parties/journals. It isn't just random pictures. Yeah, those are fun, but here we have poured ourselves into it. I'm just too personal for a lot of what I have posted here to be so public on FB.

I'm on FB but don't really read or post regularly. Ok, so I don't post terribly often here either, but I do at least read LJ on a regular basis. :p

How've you been?
