What LJ means to me...

[alrescate]

When I first started LJ (a whole 13 days ago) I thought it would be a good way to keep friends up to date on little happenings as well as keep up with them. I also thought I would eventually be able to open up a bit a let out some things out and let them go into the universe. To a certain degree that has happened. I've been keeping up with folks to a certain degree and learning more about some friends that are dear to me even though we have never met. But what is LJ really? Well so far it seems that LJ is a place to go find a ton a little quizzes that I can take to take my mind off work. I suppose that counts as stress relief....

I haven't been here all that long either...

but I've already begun to be rather selective about the quizzes. I prefer reading (not always responding to) my friends journals and using mine to collect my thoughts. The quizzes can be fun, but some of them seem like more time-suck than they're worth. I try to do the ones that might actually make me think about something. (The fashion one has sparked a number of interesting comments, esp. in MM's journal.)

Yeah

I've found I quickly skip over quizzes more already. I've been taking them pretty sparingly. If I find one that reflects how I feel, makes me feel good or causes me to think I'll post it now I know how to 'hide' the thing so it doesn't clog up everyone's page.

I read several journals that I don't always comment on. Sometimes I feel guilty for not commenting on an entry but it would take too long to respond to everything I've read.
