It´s a pretty good post, you got a way to get to truths you know :)

It´s you I am interested in, and ocasionally book and comics recs. We met in a fandom, sort of fandom, though it took me years to adjust that word to it. I just don´t get a lot of the LJ things, I am not into fanfiction ( famous last words right?), or much as I like something I do not get dragged into looking other fans of it frequently. Iconage sort of baffles me though I can admire other people´s icons. Meme´s, ahem, I am picky about those as well.

Mostly I use LJ as a sort of open letter to friends, spread a bit around the world. It´s not particularly interesting to those who do not know me, not sure I can set out to be interesting all of a sudden, or of course suceed. And of course to check on some of those friends, of whom you are a pretty important one, and one of those I can relate so easily. Sometimes you just lose that chit chat fluency, and up to a point you are feeling self conscious of instigating contact, specially when you are no longer sure you have much in common anyway.

You know a lot of my local gang ( no fandom at all) just went through a trend of ditching livejournal and installing blogs at blogspot. I whined, it was so much more convenient FOR ME everything on the same page, but I can figure out the reasoning - plus it does look better they were right ;)
Isn´t it strange and sort of expected? The strength of livejournal is making social ties easy, but we are human, those social ties are never that easy are they? Your anthropological way was right on it ;)
