Internet Anthropology
It's interesting to look at my list of 50 friends and 100 friends of and realize that, basically, Livejournal is now a slice in time that ended several years ago. I wonder what privacy laws will look like 30 years from now, as people start dying off. Will accounts be closed? Will posts be unlocked, or simply deleted? How many of my generation will ( Read more... ) -
Having almost nobody read me anymore gives me carte blanche to be emo
Almost three months ago, we were discussing math almost nightly, as she prepped for the GREs. She never really found how I explained stuff useful, but it was fun, and I liked to hope that my support helped make the process of remedial math a little less painful ( Read more... ) -
The Whispers

The Past?
I come by LJ somewhere between once a month and once a season, I suspect. Sometimes I just look at my friend's page. Sometimes I look at my profile, just to make sure there aren't any new people I don't recognize who've friended me in the hopes that I produce content. Today was what is probably more of an annual activity: looking at the journals of ( Read more... ) -
Question of the Day
I was having a conversation with someone recently about the cliches people devolve to when faced with a romantic interest from another person that they don't return. One popular one, of course, is for the desired person to tell the desiring person how they're really great, and how the desired person is *sure* that somebody (implied: somebody *else ( Read more... ) -
