I pulled out the printouts of my unfinished fantasy novel and read through some of them.

Yeah, I've mostly moved to posting tiny things on facebook rather than here. Most of the posts I make now are about video games....I guess I should post more. I still read LJ several times a day, I just don't post that often.
