I wish I'd come back to LJ sooner. But I'm so glad I'm back now.
Yeah, I'm avoiding facebook. Partly because like you say, there's a real life issue there. I have my online life and I don't want people from work or old people from school finding me and it getting all awkward. Which is would. Here, with our LJs, it's like our own little corner of the online world. I like it here. It's warm and cosy and it's ours.
A friend is someone you actually talk to, keep in touch with, know something about etc., right?... Well, you can't possibly keep up with hundreds of people on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. You just can't.
Exactly. That actually became part of my problem with niennas_dreams. I had too many people on my flist and I didn't know them and it wasn't nice anymore. I want to be involved with my friends, and I want my online home to be mine, to not feel like lots of strangers are being given a window into my personal life. With my real online friends, I don't care what fandom they're following, I don't care if they're writing fic, I just want to be able to talk to them and know how they're doing, and like you say, get to know them better.
