Facebook killed the LJ Star......

Four years ago, when I had my old journal LJ seemed very much alive and full of people who wanted to interact. Three years later I came back to my old journal and I would say 98% of my friends list was defunct. I wrote in it for about 6 months and decided to ditch it because it was full of enteries I was ready to move on from. Last week I had

I do think Facebook has become the new LJ. I know I don't update as much and lately when I do I receive less comments. Part of that is that my journal is a "broken record" of the same old, same old.

Don't really know what to tell ya except that I am happy you're back. :)

Yup yup, you know I think we'll get on marvellously - instinctually I think you know when you are going to gel with someone on LJ and when you aren't.

I came across most of my friends through add me communities, frenzies or friends of friends that I had struck up comment ocnversations. I had my journal for a long time and had a great bunch of people but when I left and came back again hmm 18 months to 2 years most of them had all fallen by the wayside so I took it upon myself to see if any of the ones that I had gotten on with were still active and if they were to see if they would refriend.. which is pretty much what you are doing.

LJ is pretty much a hit and miss community for every awesome friend that you get on with you will have 5 that aren't such awesome friends, but they are still lovely to know. And sometimes, when you put the time in and you get to interact they actually become awesome friends.

Lets disregard for the purpose of science how many we defriend in the whole thing ;)

Exactly, just based on reading a few of your enteries I knew you would be someone I could click with

I'm pretty much anti FB.. while I have one I dont' actually use it and pop on there sporadically to see what the family is upto.. Im not really up there with posting all on sundry on FB even if family are.

Yeah Ive noticed that people can be very sensitive when you don't actively reply or email within a specific time, I read all comments both posted and replied to in my entries, but sometimes I take a while in getting back to them. Ive had a few brushes with some wierdos' nothing major as you've had, but enough to make think shit, don't take things so personally.

Lovely, I added you back on GR. :D

Now onwards with catching up on whats being going on with everyone (yourself included) over the weekend, now that Ive a moment to actually sit down and read :D
