Okay time to clean up. I think it's time to shut out the lights here, lock the doors, and go home. I miss the old web. The new one is devoid of connection.

I agree. It's all... OMG SHARE THIS IF YOU DON'T HATE PUPPIES and no content or discussion or... meh.

Okay so I visited LJ twice in one week? What is this 2006?

I abandoned Facebook 3 or 4 years ago as I didn't find it fulfilling. Turns out it was bold social suicide. So do you really still haunt the LJ?

First time I've logged in in... hoo boy, a year maybe?

Facebook is handy enough to communicate with some folks, but OMG the ones who message and email through it make me nuts. What grown up can't send an actual email, or text? Bah.

'Sup with you?

truth -- last time i was at my parents' house i actually found a CD that i'm about 95% sure you mailed me (actual mail! an actual CD of actual tracks!) in something like 2005. i like facebook for keeping up with the casual friendships i already have around the world, the type i care about passively but probably wouldn't ever pick up the phone and call, but i miss actually making new and interesting friends on the internets. :/

Well that was certainly an even different social time in computing -- when the computer was only used to find people so that you could (ahem) interact with them in real life. There were really few online friends, just people you discovered on a forum and then met at Garcia's or Showalter Fountain after dark. Someone should write a book about that.

I live with you, and this was still always the best way to find out what was on your mind.

Strangely, there are five substantial posts in the last week from my friends on here. Just as we're going back to canning our own vegetables, maybe there's a very tiny movement toward livejournaling again.
