I don't know why I stopped posting to LJ. Looking back I just kind of....stopped. Cold Turkey. Done. It's funny because this was my LIFE. Looking for new posts was part of my daily routine.

Makes me sad, really. Hope you choose to post once in a while.

I have a twitter but I don't use it. I have FB but honestly I was using it just as much then as ever.

I feel the same way. FB isn't cutting it cause of my terrible family always finding me. this place still feels like home <3
