Date: 6 July 2005 11:36 pm (UTC)I suppose being territorial helps me escape any feelings of obligation towards my f-list, beyond the basic courtesy of lj-cutting memes and hugely long entries. My journal, my posts, mixed up between RL and various fandoms and just general rambling. And as much as I admit to considering "Is this LJ post annoying?" or "Will anyone care about this?" the notion of censorship in my own space irks me so much that I have a hard time quite understanding why other people would worry about such a thing, or feel obligated to perform. I am stubborn and more inclined to just say whatever the hell I want after hearing about how someone feels that he or she can't speak anymore--maybe to prove that they're wrong if only they can cast off what's holding them back, I dunno. But my method of resisting any so-called "need" for conformity won't work for most people, I guess. *G*
I know what you mean about people you are personally interested in even though you've gone in separate fandom directions. I know many people like that, and sometimes I am concerned about losing contact, but I find if the friendship is concrete enough, than everything will work out in the end unless there is some gross neglect on either (or both) sides. I'm pretty good at finding kindred spirits and if the connection fades... then it just wasn't meant to be. Which isn't to say I abandon people as soon as we no longer gush about Subaru or whatever. ^^;
I dunno, I just have the impression that if people friend my journal, they enjoy reading most of the content if not all of it, which means they like reading what I, not a persona, write. After all, if they only like my fanfiction, that's what my ficlog is for. If they only like my icons, that's what my icon LJ is for. There are the occasional weirdoes who crop up with "I love your icons SO MUCH LET'S BE FRIENDS" but they're few and far between. Or I'm just living in my own little bubble that hasn't yet burst.
I know it's not always a case of taking LJ too seriously, but a lot of the time it seems like that to me. When it gets to the point where you're writing posts only for other people rather than yourself (regardless of whether or not you wrote a post designed to be replied to, if you wanted to write it it's still your post), it's either time to drop LJ or rebel against your perceived restrictions. Guess what I do! *G*
(I enjoy rambly sentences, let us hope they make sense.)
