A Return to LJ

[holyfant]

It's been very, very quiet around here. I didn't think my move to tumblr would end up being so all-encompassing, but it has been - not because I prefer tumblr as a fannish platform to LJ (I still don't!) but because some of the people I interact with on tumblr have also become real-life, close friends

Oh good.

When I go onto tumblr, I feel like I'm at the laundromat or the grocery store -- I should, and it's not entirely unpleasant, but I don't like to do it if I can avoid it, and I'm glad when it's over.

Words. I like words. With the occasional picture.

[holyfant]

Hee, I kind of understand what you mean. :-)

And I like words too. It's what I've always liked most about fandom, and I miss it on tumblr.

Glad to be back!

Hi :D I know what you mean! I don't really do on my tumblr what I used to do on LJ: writing in an actually structured way about fandom or real life happenings. I miss it! So I should start doing it again.

oh man, rant meme, i haven't been in ages

how are youuuuuu, kat, how's life post-teacherly anxieties treating you

[holyfant]

I'm there too often, tbh. I've got better at leaving when I'm not feeling too good, though, so that's better. :p

SO MUCH BETTER. Suppose that'll be part of the life update post I'll be doing at some point, but MY GOD. Now that I'm free of it I can hardly comprehend that I lasted even two years. I mean, I'm unemployed now, so it's not ideal, but I'm so much happier, I can't tell you.

and how are youuuuuu

Glad to see you back! I have a tumblr, but I don't post anything just do a bit of reblogging.

Yay, it's good to be back! How've you been?

[geekslave]

I've been good, thanks. Married life has been nice. :)

Yeah, that latest update really illustrates that Tumblr isn't intended for conversation. I miss LJ-style meta and comments SO MUCH, gah.

[holyfant]

Me too! I'm glad to see I'm not shouting into a void here :-)
