So I did it. I have joined the cult, and it is time for me to come out of the LJ closet. I know that there is a lot of animosity against LJ out there, and in fact, I have in the past made fun of it myself, but as of now, the boredom got to me, and I have too many friends that regularly use it to ignore it any longer. That’s right ladies and gents, I am actively using LiveJournal. And believe it or not, it is actually quite fulfilling.
See, I haven’t been feeling like blogging much lately. Just nonsensical things, or happenings. Nothing is really going on that I am giving that much thought to, and is, in my opinion not worth a whole blog post on its own. But, on LJ, I can post anything I want, because that is what it is designed for. So, it fulfills that void that the blog never did. I can make plans, say hi, see how everyone is doing (on LJ that is), even say a simple line about how I am feeling, and I feel good about it. It isn’t going to change the blogging; I am in this for the long haul, so don’t worry. But, I will be posting there when I am bored, or have some nonsensical statement to make about whatever, because, well, that’s what it is for, really.
I also have it set up to have my flickr pictures I post from my mobile go directly there, which is something I thought about doing here, but have long since talked myself out of. I hope that I will not be strung up as a traitor, but I do realize that I have joined, and drank the kool-aid, so I am sure I will get some statements about it. But, I don’t really care, I just feel bad for making fun of it before. Ain’t nothing wrong with taking part in something that cures your boredom in my opinion… And there aren’t many things that can cure my boredom like LJ does! Here’s the link if you care to check on it from time to time. I am still unsure if I will add it to the link 80×15s to the right. If I do, you will see it, if not, you won’t.
Happy day, to all of you. I will have something fun and important to say one of these days. The nonsensical stuff is over at my LJ. All is right in the world.
You can never make fun of me for typepad after this.
It’s all good. And, if you are so inclined (and have a paid account) you can syndicate this blog to LJ. I did that for the first year I blogged so that my LJ friends could read InsideThePerimeter (insidetheperime on LJ).
Lori… I never will. Ever.
Paulie, it is! Thanks!
I love LJ for one simple reason: I met my husband on it in 2000 (we hold the honor of being the first couple to meet up on there and actually get married). I still crosspost to my LJ (username: chicky) via my Wordpress.
I keep an LJ for the same reason. Originally started to vent about my abusive, lazy, asshole of a boyfriend then it just because a place to post random things.
I don’t use LJ, but my BLOG has always been a place for… “…just nonsensical things, or happenings…”
You mean to tell me I’ve been blogging wrong all this time? Now I’m confused
I can’t believe you’re using Livejournal. And I thought I knew you! ::sob::
Anyway. Your LJ doesn’t look as atrocious as most, so there’s that. (You and Alyssa are among the few.) I read that you saw Shortbus and I am very excited that it’s playing here. So see? Your LJ has been good for something!
