Still trying to decide what LJ is FOR for me

It used to be whine blog, but now I have a private twitter that condenses that shit down to one or two forgotten sentences ( Read more... )

I just like it when people post to LJ at all. I just -can't- get very interactive with people on Tumblr or Facebook. I don't like how those seem to push everyone to share everything all the time to everyone else via vague settings. Okay, so maybe that's more Facebook but even with Tumblr, the comment system is weird. If I comment to someone I don't understand why everyone who follows me needs to see it. I'm not a super secret private person or anything but I do like to be selectively open. LJ hugs me best.

All I ever do on FB is attempt to read what people actually write themselves and post photos. Feels too strange with so many different friend-sets to bother talking about anything. And all I do is post art and heart shit on Tumblr.

Yes. Just post anything, I don't know. When LJ is finally a fossil I'll be all out of social networks. Facebook is overwhelmed by my crazy conservative-ass family, and I don't know anything about tumblr. I wish to be vicariously amused here!

LJ is for posting whatever the fuck you want whenever you want it

I use it for venting

but really there are so few people left on LJ that those of us still here arent looking at LJ blogs to be "good" or consistent

IDK

I won't lie I still love LJ as a more direct means of communication and such through journals. I guess it feels more intimate? Like your not projecting out to the world on mass, you're just projecting out to a select audience, and that in of itself feels more comfortable and enjoyable to me.

Either way do what you prefer, but I def enjoy seeing you active here :o
