i've decided (more like i've always known), that livejournal was good for my sanity. more than anything, it gave me some quiet time just for myself where i could sit and reflect and organize my thoughts. kind of like the internet's version of yoga (i should start doing yoga again too). livejournal is pretty much a social media wasteland now, but

Yeah, LJ does seem like a forgotten site these days. It makes me kind of sad, this place was such a different sort of journal site. I'll always have a soft spot for it, though. I don't know who owns it these days (the Russians?), but I hope it's going to be around for a long while.

I like that you're so open about everything and willing to put it all out there in regards to linking your LJ to your FB. I'm not sure that I could ever do that. I try to keep my FB and Instagram and Pinterest so that anyone can find me on those, but I like to think of this as my little hideaway. Well, I guess I do use my middle name as my last name, but that's more to throw off potential/ hopefully-someday-current employers, etc; they can fuck right off about knowing every single solitary aspect of my life. Also, I don't really care for my last name.

I was wondering why you didn't pin things hardly ever! I kind of figured it was because you were so busy lately. I've got all the time in the world, almost, so I tend to pin quite a lot. Ha. Loser. But yeah

thanks. i'll try the whole "public" entry thing (for some entries) for a while and see how it goes. honestly, i doubt anyone that is on facebook reads my entries anyhow. ...i haven't been so bold as to have the fact that i've written an lj entry show up as a facebook post. all it is right now is if you go on to my facebook profile, there is a link to livejournal. and even that i have blocked from some people. and i believe i have it set up so it is difficult to search for me on facebook....

and well, yes, i am completely aware that my pinterest "fear" is completely irrational. again, i have no idea what spawned it or why i felt that way. right now i try to avoid pinterest, but mostly because i am busy and that site can easily suck you in for an hour (at least). and really, the last thing i need right now is more "inspiration" - i have so many projects that aren't done/haven't even been started it is unreal.

Yeah, Pinterest seems like a dream/hope board sometimes. You know how people used to have "hope chests" or whatever? It reminds me of that at times. I quit asking if people are engaged, thinking I must've missed the announcement, because the answer is always no. Awkward.
