Date: Sep. 24th, 2006 12:24 am (UTC)Being #6 is disappointing, but not really unexpected. Which leads into my thoughts on lj, and posting.
Here's some basic facts:
Joined: 2001-06-07 06:59:44 (I was working for the summer at the career development center -- long days w/ little to do, in an area rather far from all of my friends, with few people around in general. If I hadn't joined lj. I might have gone crazy.) Eilonwy was my first friend : )
Journal entries: 736 (divides to 147 or so a year, which surprised me.) I started by posting on a regular basis, b/c as mentioned, I would have gone crazy otherwise. Slowly, I realized I didn't really have anything to say. You know this, but my posting is based on my mood. When I'm happy I tend to post short tidbits about what's going on or things I find funny. When I'm stressed or angry I vent about it. When I'm depressed I tend to not post. usually. What's changed... well, several people friended me after 1:1, which is great, but since I figure they're probably interested in fandom or my fic, and not aimless ramblings about my rather dull life, I've started locking any non-fandom posts. That's about it.
I've tried reviews, and I've tried meta, but I'm really not good at either of those, and I can't ever seem to get through the post b4 deleting it.

I'm terrible at responding to comments, so these numbers surprised me too. I expected a much greater discrepancy. um.
Comments are like akward social situations for me... you know when you hold a door for a stranger and they say 'no, you first' and it goes back and forth and no-one knows how to take it? it's like that. I never know when the comment conversation should end, and always feel as if I'm just rambling on to someone who's sitting at the other side thinking 'omg, do I have to answer this girl?'
And others I just don't have anything to say. For instance, I wanted to participate in every day of your memoryfest, but couldn't think of anything for most of the days, partially b/c I just didn't like most of the stuff I remembered, and partially b/c I have a terrible memory.
I don't know how many stories I've posted... somewhere between two and 6 or so, and three drabbles. Lately I've been trying to comment a bit more, but that's still really difficult. I've also been trying to write more. I'm working on a longer story, but am attempting to do drabbles in between just as little one-scene practice shots that make me feel like at least I've done something.
what else... I don't make promises to myself anymore, b/c I never keep them.
Have I gone on long enough?
