now there has been a book written about Livejournal. Too bad it's not a serious sociological survey. Instead, it's a novel that takes place mostly in New York City, about a guy who reads a girl's Livejournal, becomes fascinated, ( Read more... )

his LJ book is in stores now.

he wants to meet people who have read his book, or like to watch him sign his book. his LJ book.

I don't think internet shoutouts count as plugs unless you actually link them. The currency might be attention but hyperlinks/lj tags are like credit cards, whereas physically typing out trembyle's lj url in this case would be like going down the road to the cashpoint then back to the shop, and I don't think most people can be arsed these days. Hope you understand this!

i understand you perfectly, because you are perfectly understandable, annakey.--mza.

I can't think of anything more totally pointless than a book about Livejournal. its very existence probably ripped a giant wormhole (read: RIPPED A NEW ONE) in the continuity of time and space.

also i am a comment machine disorganization February 24 2006, 02:02:43 UTC

oh oh oh I just realized that if you're glancing over that comment, "wormhole" kinda looks like "woomble" ... anyway. back to paper-writin'.

i know, I skipped a bunch of pages, just so in my heart I have not read it. Which makes me wonder: does th author say to himself, "In my heart I have not written this"?

More important: in th paragraph above, should I have put a period inside that final quotation mark?

sociology indeed disorganization February 24 2006, 18:56:11 UTC

nope, you're right. I know you're admin, but would you like to freelance as my copyeditor? I have to write four papers next week. alksdjf;kahs;dkfhak
