Dreamwidth account!

[merimask]

Thanks to the wonderful kelkyag  , I now have a dreamwidth account!  Yay! 

It's all shiny and new in there.  I'm still figuring things out.  I did manage to import all my LJ entries though, so that's good because I definitely wanted a backup for all this WORK I've done here over the years.  Holy cow...hours and countless hours of writing, it's incredible really when you think about it.

So I made a new icon just for the occasion.   Change is good.

In other news; Charlotte had another rugby game on Sunday and this time I was there to document!  With the camera!  And they won!  All good things.  I warned her that it would all be in my LJ, and so it shall...but I still have to upload the photos into my photobucket account.  That's going to take time 'cause I want to crop everything & make it pretty, and I got distracted by the Dreamwidth Shiny.

Speaking of which; if you have a dreamwidth account too, go ahead & add me as a friend!  & let me know so's I can add you back.  I'm a little clueless in there.   As ever, I am "merimask".  I came up with that name on a whim, SO many years ago.  It was my very first e-mail address, created the first time I ever used a computer, and it's served me well.  I remember I created it with an eye towards picking something that not only characterized who I was but also what I did, and at the time I know I had it in the back of my head; "this will be a great name for my business, if I ever have a business". 

And now I do!  And so it is.

I don't really know why there's this sudden Dreamwidth trend...three of my flist opened accounts there within the past 2-3 days. For me, it would just be another place to be ignored. -_- I used to have so much fun on LJ, but basically now I might as well just email you once a week and have done, since you're basically the ONLY person reading/commenting. (People always say 'I know I don't comment, but I always read!' but I actually *hate* that. I don't care if you read, if you don't comment. What good does it do me? It's like talking and talking and talking and having the person you're talking to just stare at you blankly the whole time and then get up and walk away at the end as if they hadn't heard a word, or simply didn't care enough to respond.) In the past month I've made about 10 entries. How many people have commented? Let's see...1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0.

Bleah. So...Dreamwidth holds no interest for me. I'm finding it hard to come up with a reason to continue posting on LJ when it's basically come down to me and one person (you) with no back-and-forth going on at all.

I guess after all these years we just don't have anything to say to each other any more because our entries always contain the same general stuff. I can think of each person on my flist and name about half a dozen topics that make up all they ever post about, myself included...and after a while you run out of things to say. I guess I can't complain since I have to same problem too, but...it leaves me totally uninterested in dreamwidth, since the journal I already have friends at is totally dead.

I take my internet life about as seriously as my real life, so it's actually rather upsetting. But I know most people don't feel that way. As Rumi once said, "It's just LJ." (Except it isn't, to me. LJ is the same as real life.)
