Whoa. Revelations.
September 4th, 2003 10:00 pm*WHAT* happened to LJ?? I swear, it's only been a couple of days since I last looked in, and... whoa. Have to figure out how to navigate this new look. *Sigh*
But no, that's not the revelation I had in mind, startling though it may be. What's really been an eye-opener of late is how much I've missed and overlooked and just plain not been a part of, in this corner of LJ lately. Okay, not just lately -- for a long time now. I'm fair disgusted with myself because my friends here have been having crises and shake-ups and all sorts of nasty bad things happening, and I've not been present enough to offer comfort, condolences, or anything. This dipping in twice a month isn't working. I'm not liking this, this being on the fringes and out of the loop. I sort of start thinking, what's the point of having a live journal in such a great corner of the internet, if I don't participate? I mean, yes, it's still my journal, it's still my place to record whatever of my life and views and observations I choose, as frequently or infrequently as I choose, and that's valuable too -- but really, truly, it's... oh god, cue The Sentinel soundtrack... it's about friendship. (Sorry, little senfen in-joke that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
white_trillium will get...) But it's TRUE, dammit! The friends I've made here are just... just... just wonderful, and fantastic, and endearing and delightful and lots and lots of good adjectives, and I love them! And really, I can't handle the guilt. "Bad Sally, no cookie" doesn't *quite* cover it. So... time to recharge the batteries and get that LJ energy going again. Sallying forth, and all that.
