Damn, how I have missed this format!

Look, I was part of the whole LJ thing and loved the unholy hell out of it before the Russians screwed it up. (Well, there was that one run-in with Archie Comics, but...) Then I went to Facebook like everyone else on the planet.

Facebook sucks for nuanced thoughts though. It's terrific for networking and shitposting and meme, but being out there too long just ups your blood pressure. There's not enough friendly content between the, "Aw, fuck, what did the GOP do now?! You get quick cuts of friends, nice pics, and then it gets swallowed whole by the next thing.

I remember everyone going to Tumblr there for awhile. Tumblr always seemed a little chaotic, not a deep thought kind of place, and very reactionary - like a step down from Twitter. I'm learning to use it now that I'm on this break, but after all that shit with the censorship and Yahoo and all that...nah. It's just not going to be my primary.

I'm also just not into the ads everywhere.

I mean, I wish more friends would come on back here; but I'll enjoy what I have and make some new friends while I'm at it.
