So much for updating this more

[cheshire_monkey]

I honestly thought I'd get used to using this blog and just cross-posting to my LJ, but it hasn't been the case. I think it's hard to break the LJ habit, and if I'm being honest with myself, it's not like I really want to all that much. It occurred to me recently that I'll have had my LJ for four years come February and that amazes me quite a bit. I've talked about so much that has happened to me over that time that it's possible for me to know exactly when I did something or how excited I was about something. Yes, sometimes that's embarrassing, but it's there.

I've also met some of the most amazing people through LJ that I can't even imagine my life without them. As an example, I'm sitting here in the woods of North Carolina with one of my dearest friends, nomdeploom, in a cabin that is so relaxing I can't even think straight. I'd have never met her without LJ. And there are so many others who I would gladly travel the globe for in order to see them (you know, if money wasn't an issue).

I've been able to find people on LJ because I don't hold anything back. I don't worry about people stumbling upon the posts unless I want them to and it somehow makes it easier to just blather on about anything. Not the case here since I've told myself I'm going to keep it public.

I'm not abandoning this blog because I do intend to try and post more often. What's even funnier is that most things I post are so inconsequential that it wouldn't matter if they were here out in the open. I just can't seem to allow myself to do it too often. Weird, that.

The theater here in West Jefferson shows movies for $5. Tonight it's movie time - after our trek to the Ashe County Cheese Store. It's silly how happy I am about this.

I know what you mean! I tend to use LJ and occasionally upload to here. I'm really only using this blog for the Big Bang and like you all my friends are on LJ.

Have a lovely time with nomdeploom and give her a big hug from me - and she has to give you a big hug from me too! :D

*hugs*

srsly. I haven't posted any blog entry in months. just a bunch of meaningless twitter crap. My problem is just that I can't find within me the motivation to care enough about anything to post a lengthy essay on the topic. Plenty of thoughts come and go, but I'm just not sufficiently invested in them to actually sit down and *write* about any of it.
