this blog is awesome, it's like livejournal. i used to livejournal. people don't use livejournal anymore that much, but livejournal is like a jewel of the internet. it's like an online journal, where you can add livejournal friends, and go to your livejournal friends page, and read their journal posts, and comment, and they can comment on your journal posts.
it's different than facebook and than twitter, in that facebook is usually meant for shorter posts and less diary-like posts, and twitter is meant for shorter posts and less diary-like posts.
livejournal is meant to be like a journal, like a diary of a sort that you share vs. like a place to social network, like facebook or twitter.
although livejournal can also be social, where you read your friends journal posts, and comment (including with support for your friends, regarding the post they shared) and where they read your journal posts (including with support for you, regarding the post you shared.)
you can talk at length about what you did that day, and/or how you felt that day, and/or who you were with that day (and if you were spending time with someone else who's also on livejournal, you can mention their username, and link to his or her livejournal, when talking about that you spent time with him or her.)
and you can archive your livejournal posts on livejournal in calendars throughout the years, it's like a well-organized diary, including a well-organized diary over years and years.
y'know, sometimes you feel like going deeper than your posts on facebook or on twitter. and there should be a place for that on the internet. facebook and twitter aren't really meant for diary-like posts, they're meant for shorter posts, and for posts where you might not feel like opening up and getting into deeper inner thoughts.
and there's nothing wrong with that, you don't always have to open up and get into deeper inner thoughts.
sometimes you might not feel like sharing your deeper inner thoughts, and sometimes you might want to talk about matters that are easier for you to delve into.
of course, you don't always have to write like you'd write in your own diary. and places like twitter and facebook, allow you to share things that aren't necessarily written like you would write in your own diary.
but i feel like there should be a place online, where, if you want to write like you'd write in your own diary, you're invited to do that, and where that is the main purpose.
i hope that they bring back livejournal.
anyway, you know me, i'll be blogging until kingdom come!
