MY HEAD IS BURSTING

Feb 03, 2010 11:41

My friends page is MASSIVE, it's impossible to keep up with. It's nothing personal, I'm uncurably nosy about other people's lives and I like reading, but I've hardly got time to talk to people because there's so much to scroll through so I need to cut some journals. BUT I've got no idea who's lurking and wants to stay and who just scrolls past... ( Read more... )

I know I am terrible at commenting and I contribute too much to the spammage, but I would like to stay!

This is not related to your post, but I have been feeling irritated and frustrated with lj lately, like so many people have quit posting as they migrate to twitter or facebook or offline altogether. Those sites are fine, but neither is a replacement to me for lj and it's sad to see it being outgrown. I have over 200 journals friended but only a dozen or so post anymore (and even less comment), and I find so little of it interesting or relatable. I'm not sure if it's them, or me changing. Sometimes I am like, I should just do a giant friends cut and get rid of the inactives, but then I am like, whatever.

However, the handful of people (like you) who still update regularly and have interesting things to say, even if it's just posting about day to day life, keeps me checking in and scrolling past all the feeds, communities, fucking loudtwitter, clutter etc. So I appreciate that. :)

Haha, I don't reeaally get the loudtwitter thing... don't the people who are interested see it all on Twitter anyway?? Maybe I'm totally wrong and loads of people like reading the collected posts, who knows.

Anyway, I like your spam! Even if I don't comment a lot. This is as close to a NYR as I ever get: Must Try Harder. :)

We've been lj friends basically as long as I've HAD an LJ and I know we don't ever actually... talk... but I'd still feel a bit sad if I couldn't read about your Doings.

That's cool! It's the lurkers I was wondering about because I know a ton of people friended me from HP but I don't really talk to them any more. x
