livejournals....anyone?

freakydeadgirl

'twas wandering around livejournal the other day and stumbled across a small enclave of fellow ctyiers. anybody else got one?

mentalimplosion

yup.

Piste

No, what are these 'Livejournals' you speak of?

halenger

Not sure if I have one. I'm useless at keeping those things anyhow. Best I did is my journal on DeviantArt but that's only about an entry a month, at most.

Diaries never really were my "thing".

Online Diary sorta journaly sorta thing.

PurpleFistMixer

*picks 2 cents back up and walks off*

Aoibheann

I don't but it sounds cool.

*goes to check site*

mentalimplosion

everyone here with a livejournal should joing the livejournal CTYI community. because i said so.
yes i said joing.

Aoibheann

the account creating thing isn't going all that well for me, but I'll join as soon as it lets me.

Urrrrrrrrrgh. Tbh.

Why bother with an online diary? am i just being cynical or is there even a point in it... surely it would be less hassle (if you were to keep a diary) to do it with a pen and paper?

PurpleFistMixer

Well, I don't know about you, but I type waaay faster than I write.

So ranting is a lot easier.

And it doesn't necessarily have to be a "diary", you dont have to write down your feelings or what you did that day or anything, it's basically a space for you to... write whatever, ranting or whatnot. And it's nice to be able to get feedback about things, now and again.

Aoibheann

yeah, it seems like a good idea, I've joined anyways.

edibility

It's just that most online journals (blogs, btw) are generally full of either angst or sh1te.

PurpleFistMixer

Usually both.
But you just ignore them.


Or slag them repeatedly in your own one, whatever you want.

Aoibheann

I've seen some very funny blogs written by friends of mine.

my own are usually crap, but meh.

Chowburger

My Livejournal

Lots of 'em are full of angsty teenage crap, but I know some really great people there, too

Set one up last night. I'll probably forget about it in a month though.

Yeah, I'm more interested to find out if anyone has put their CTYI photos on the net. Twas surfing le net in IT and found a whole pile from Session 2. Twas really nice.

So does anyone have Sess2 2004 on the net??

It wasn't me!

There's a big thread full of them if you look through the board from about four months back.

Raphael

But don't post on it...or else!

It wasn't me!

Yeah, I originally typed, "there's a big thread full of them if you drag up the archives from about four months back" I spotted it quickly and rephrased it though. I have no idea why but I've actually used this livejournal dohickey. Go figure.

smiley_knees

Thank you very much, twas very helpful!!! But Christ, the amount of posts I had to wade through by people whining that there *was* too many posts and not enough photos was head wrecking...

Don't worry, I didn't post!!!

Thanks guys!

BTW, I know it's the wrong thread but happy one year, 6 months and whatever days with Cat to Aonghus. That is some feat given the distance. Congrats dear!!!

online diaries - would you tell your inner feelings and emotions to a roomful of strangers?

It wasn't me!

Only to take the piss and annoy them. But no one reads mine anyway so I'm safe enough.

no, but you can set entries to private if you want. then nobody can read them.

My inner feelings often consist simply of "FOAD" and that really doesn't work well unless it's expressed AT people.

but isn't the whole point of livejournal putting yourself on display? i mean, that's what it comes down to, or you'd just write it down where no one will read it, isn't it? dunno, just my opinion.

mentalimplosion

i agree with the above statement

Well yes, if you just want to write it down where no one will read it, you set it to private. That way you can just use livejournal as a kind of fancy txt file where you store your journal entries.
