Lovely entry. Seriously. I often wonder when I'll move on from LJ too. I think it's a question of 'when' not 'if' but it seems so strange right now to think that one day I'll close this chapter of my life without any regrets.
Thanks, every once in a while I get into a decent writing rhythm. It's rare.
I think the only regret I have is how much this whole thing consumes my mind throughout the day. Like I'll sit in class and instead of paying attention, I'll try to come up with ideas to write about. Something interesting will happen, or I'll witness something out of the ordinary and instead of enjoying the moment, I'll think about how I'm gonna word it later on that night. Maybe it's a sign that I should be a writer or something - even though I don't think I'm very talented.
Well if starbucks is around when you are 50 you might just be there right? LJ might or might not be there. I can relate...for me too it was part of an experiment. My devil encouraged me to start one because he was using it as part of his research paper on internet communities. I was a total newbie in re to this sort of format. I still remember who my first lj friend was and surprisingly she still has remained my friend thru thick and thin. Odd how that is. I never think too deeply anymore about how long I will have my lj for. I guess as long as its fun and interesting for me I will invest a bit of time in it. LJ like other communities does have a transient sort of mannerism about it yet I think its a good medium to contact ppl and maintain a friendship with them. shrugs... I like you tho dont go away any tyme soon :)
I'll definitely be at Starbucks when I'm 50. I just hope that I'm like the other old people I always see there - drinking my coffee and reading the newspaper in peace.
LJ does provide a really cool environment though. I mean screw my journal, there's plenty of other really talented, interesting, and humorous people I've found across the way, (you included). So I'm not sure that the moment I decide to quit updating will be the moment I quit assoiciating myself with all things LJ, but I'm sure over time everything will just kind of fade away...
well mine isnt exactly talented rofl i cant really write all that well but I think what happened for me was I friended a whole lot of people that I thought had nothing in common and the more I read the more I learned we all have lots of things in common and its the differences that keep it interesting.
LOL - Well I'm not saying my friends list is flooded with the future Hemingway's of the world, it's just that everyone is unique. Everyone has their own style. When I go through everyone's entries, it's not like I'm reading the same thing over and over again.
