HELP ME OUT PLEASE

Nov 21, 2004 22:53

Hello.... anybody,
I am thinking about writing a paper about livejournals and what draws people to have them to write in. So I was just curious if anyone was willing to comment on this entry about just why they personally have a live journal? I'd really appreciate anything... thanks....

from your friendly neighborhood spidermonkey,(ROBERT)

From a random girl that doesn't know you and that you don't know... livejournal might just be the largest tool of procrastination ever invented. (For example, I'm replying to your journal to keep from doing my homework)
I think a lot of people (girls especially) have always kept some form of a journal to write down silly things like "Oh, I <3 Bobby SOOOOOOOO much" *gag* or maybe real things, watershed moments and what not, and for me personally it is far easier and quicker to type than hand write.
People use it as a way to channel their "deep" thoughts, To try and understand what they are thinking in a more concrete manner. Or perhaps to get others to think more intensely. Raise questions, get answers. A way to feel loved: if a person posts "man, i hate my life; i'm such a failure!" there will immediately be friends who respond with "i love you, you're amazing!" More or less like a girl saying "i'm fat." so that her boyfriend will tell her how beautiful she is... fishing for compliments.
Inspiration.

hello Robert is Ryan your brother ya I was just gunna tell you that I feel that a live journal is like a vent for people to get out their stress and their anger to sertain people that they are too scared to face in person.THat is the main reason as too why I don't have one, and I also look at them as a big waste of time, but that is just me!
