Yeah, I almost wish there could be an automatic rolling edit for that, ha. "Automatically privatise everything older than 4-6 years! Follow the sliding scale of mortification!"
♥ Although not that you can't potter over to the IJ and creep on my nigh-daily posts anytime, ha. I could still post more RL-focused things here because I don't want to burden the writing crowd with it -- but I don't like the thought of writing into a void, and most of my friendslist seems to be gone. Fact: I once actually hit a point of just checking your journal instead of my flist, since you're the most consistent updater. :>
If only! Fortunately it just takes like two clicks, so it's still easy to do it every year.
I go check IJ about once a week, usually for your posts. Speaking of which, I'm gonna go add your tumblr RSS feed to my LJ now. ...Dude, how is "lobsterquadrill" already taken? WTF? Fine, you'll be "riddledtumblr". I am too tired and lazy to be creative right now. :P
I completely understand about not wanting to post into the void, though. Half my friends are gone, and even though the other half are still on here, they don't comment as enthusiastically as you guys did. I miss it!
Is there anywhere you post RL snippets? Emily's Twitter posts about your joint adventures (and photos of your pancakes, for instance) make me really happy, and if there's someplace where you post that kind of stuff, I want to read it! ♥
Oh my god, I get so distressed whenever ~lobsterquadrille is taken as a username elsewhere. I'm like, really? That one-off Lewis Carroll poem? WHO IS OUT THERE USING MY CUTE LITERARY REFERENCES AS THEIR USERNAME AND CAN I EITHER MURDER THEM OR MARRY THEM.
And yeah re: the void. I can use different voices / levels of intimacy or detail depending on if I'm writing privately or for a wider audience -- but I have difficulty reconciling what sort of voice I should affect for an in-between, esp. when I don't know who's even listening anymore? Figuring out audience & an appropriate venue for the RL snippets has been so hard, since Livejournal was always the place for daily RL updates, deeper emotional analysis, etc, but if no one's listening anyway, then I might as well just write about it privately and therefore go into more detail. Whilst IJ became the place I post the most often (& is the best place to suss out my RL, probably) but I try to clamp down on the RL there because some of my followers are just random acquaintances I met in a
( ... )
Looking back, my last real post was literally at the end of November -- 6 months and 29 days ago! -- before I graduated, before I finished my workterm, before I took my 10-week vacation, before I moved. So I'm pretty much 'not here anymore'. Though like you, I agree with RL fitting better on LJ and I do miss having this outlet. I'm just not sure how well it fits as an outlet (vs. a private little diary behind lock and key) if there's no one reading? -- buuuut if I know who's still around & paying attention, then I could maybe find a way to make it work. :>
I am still here-ish. I actually mostly crosspost from DW these days, but I do check my LJ flist fairly regularly. Plurk gets the most updates though because microblogging is easy.

It's nice to hear from you again, though!
