Livejournal: The Revival

Aug 21, 2019 04:19

I haven't posted regularly on LJ since 2011. Returned for a couple months in 2015, but other than that, I've treated this site like it doesn't exist.

Why?

Because everyone else has.

That's the real reason, as much as it pains me to admit it. I didn't want to stop posting. I sure as hell didn't want to replace LJ with Facebook or any other ( Read more... )

Yeah, I've always liked this place too. But when can one really say about people in today's society, we are thrown in very fickle situations as social creatures always made to move on to the next thing and desperately try to fit in with it.

Not sure who you are, but it's nice to see folks still around! :)

As for fickle situations… yes, we're all prey to that on some level. Sometimes we have to rebel against it to find the things that work for us.

*blink blink* Boss Lady? That you? Huzzah and hooray! Hi!

I still log in every day, though I haven't posted since mid-2015. Just feels like everything is go-go-go-sound-bytes-through-12-different-platforms and I just can't keep up. It's weird...as I get older, I can't tell if the world's speeding up or I'm just slowing down. Hah! I'm going to make the best Grumpy Old Lady because I've been practicing for a long time already.

It's great to see you, though...and yeah, I think we'd all benefit from a slower paced form of social media, and I'd like to hang out more here, if there were just some more people to talk to. Well, this is a start, eh?

HI! It's great to see you, too! How the hell have you been? XD

I love that you still login every day, regardless of how long it's been since you've posted. That said, I'd love to hear all about what you're up to these days… I hope you'll consider updating in the near future.

LOLLERSKATES COME JOIN MY RATING COMMUNITY FOR PANDAS WITH CONGENITAL DEFECTS!

Yeah okay, I'll come back to LJ. Twist my arm.

Oh hell, I forgot about the rating communities. Funny thing is, they don't seem so bad after years upon years of lame ass memes, Russian trolls, and other Facebook garbage.

OMG, I used to love making icons for people! I'm glad you're still using yours. :)

Other than that, I feel the exact same way as you. The ONLY thing that keeps me on Facebook is people I care about… people who won't use other sites. :/ If it weren't for them, I'd be THRILLED to delete my FB account and do all my socializing over here/on my own sites.

It's not one or the other, though. With a little extra effort, there's no reason we can't have both. <3

Fuck yeah. Remember the phone posts? ;)

surfocrates August 22 2019, 08:54:37 UTC

I most certainly do. I remember everything. It was lj days we started singing to each other pretty much every night.
