this is a rant
Fri, Nov. 20th, 2009 11:00 pmAll you people who have multiple journal-like things: you're WEIRD.
Ditto for having multiple IM programs, though that's more understandable because some people just Don't Do a particular program. (On that note, I've ditched MSN, but since I talked to all of two people on it, one of whom is also on AIM and the other of whom I catch up with on a weekly-at-least basis in the flesh, I figure nobody's really going to give a stuff o/)
ALSO. Changing usernames is weird (unless you've had stalkers and you're trying to get away from them, that makes sense.)
And don't get me started on cryptic posts, especially the ones with no comments. If you don't want me to know about it, then flock it away from me, seriously. I don't LIKE cryptic posts. Unless you're dead-set certain that I know what the cryptic is about, or you plan on talking to me about it before I see it? DON'T post it where I can see it =/
I'm not getting a Twitter. I don't use Facebook (wtf why do people keep trying to contact me through it...). I don't use Dreamwidth. I don't use Inksome. LiveJournal and AIM, that's it. Don't expect me to keep up with every new online communication thing because I see it as a serious waste of time, especially when everyone I know is on LJ anyway. It's just stupid, you guys =/

Date: Fri, Nov. 20th, 2009 01:00 pm (UTC)I used to have like a dozen journals but I chopped it down to three. I have a blog for video game related things over on blogspot but I've been neglecting it lately. Isn't there some kind of thing you can do to change your name on your current journal? I would maybe go for that if I knew how it could be done, I wouldn't go through the hassle of switching journals entirely D;

FRIEND THEM AND I'LL FRIEND YOU BACK" but usually it's a case of "Oh hi, I've had this journal for 3 years! what do you mean it's the first you've heard of it?" and then I just want to toss people in a blender. ¬_¬
