Speaking Of Living On The Internet ...

kadharonon linked to this here post by yuki_onna on the LJ Fatigue that seems to be going around, and the possible reasons for it. I think in my case, it was simply that I’ve added too many feeds and whatnot to my friends’ page, so now I get so overwhelmed trying to keep up with everyone that I wind up keeping up with no one. The reasons she gives are also surprisingly painful—having people leave for another site is more of a wrench than I’d have ever thought. (No, seriously, it was a blow when Ursula Vernon started her own blog, even if every post does get mirrored here.)

I probably still won’t be very timely with my comments, but I’ve been trying to keep up, especially with my core group of friends on here, because quite a lot of you are FRIENDS, and not just in the online Hey-We-Both-Like-Cake-And-Have-Blogs-We-Are-Now-Friends sense. I’d rather not lose that, so unless I get hit by a truck or something, I assure you I’ll definitely be sticking around.

The journal done for commenting purposes is fair enough, I'd say--you're still quite active on here, so it's the same principle. (Plus, your many icons are always a source of entertainment, with the possible exception of that one right up there, which gives me the creeps. ;) )

*coincidentally, a forum I eventually drifted away from
