funny you mention getting nervous when reading and wanting to go and do something. I came across this post while looking up a business' phone number, and after a couple of paragraphs felt i needed a break to go and call said business. but i powered through :p
I know what you mean though, our thoughts are becoming more and more condensed. It's like long posts are uncool and boring. People now think about witty status updates rather than creative blogs. Most people anyway.
I like twitter, and my intention was to leave the longer posts to livejournal. But honestly, the kind of things I prefer to rant about on lj leave me so tired, at least partially because every single time I seem to end up spending 3 days clarifying that no, I didn't mean whatever shitty thing someone has managed to magically spin out of what I said, so I start posts, and then I just...delete it. So instead my livejournal gets emptier and emptier. But I still like it, because I get to stare creepily into everyone else's lives o__________o

That last bit is pretty much my posting structure, too. Facebook was meant to be entirely for work (since we have Public Outreach and fun science press stuff), but I'm finding myself using it to blab medium-sized updates, if still filtered for work. I don't know if I like it. I'm trying to stay here. For now, that's navel-gazing ranting, punctuated with photos; they count as a thousand words at a time, right?

3 days of LJ now is probably 1 page max!

Hey by the way fiendy, I think LiveJournal is dead now.
You know why I think that? Because the lovely Amaya is moving all her blogs across to Blogger.
I'm pretty that means the party's over. Come on now, come and get a Blogger, and then I can "follow" you.
What if I PROMISED to rant at you? *flutters eyelashes*
Nat.
