It's Getting Busy in Here...

Is it just me or traffic has picked up on Livejournal? Loads of M.I.A. people are posting again. Was away for a few days and came back to epic posts.

I hate Facebook by the way. Shitty design, zero content - no pleasure. If I didn't have so much family, long-lost friends and my mom's guesthouse page there, I'd delete my account.

I like reading long posts, I like in depth coverage of your lives.

There does seem to be growing signs of life around here again; it's good to see. :-)

Good to hear from you Arkady! You've been quiet. :-)
How are things with you?

Not too bad; mostly busy with the start of the new term & Freda going back to school - it's all been a bit chaotic as they found asbestos in the new school site so they're trying to juggle about 120 children more than the old site is really geared up to handle!

Oh dear... I hope they sort that out soon!

So do I! At first they said they'd have it all removed by half-term, but apparently they've found even more and are saying Jan 2013 - or possibly September 2013, which was when the rest of the school was supposed to be transferring to the new site. We're keeping fingers crossed they stick to the earlier date.

I try to post more in lj... but I admit, I tend to stick to my forum, and FB as it is quicker. I noticed same with me, a few MIA people have been posting and I like it too. hell..11 years here... 2 different journals, but the same friends for over a decade, I could never totally leave this place. I love it too much

It's the dark nights creeping in, isn't it? Sitting blogging seems such an indulgance when the sun is shining outside.

I came back recently, and I really really really miss the community. There is none. So if any of your readers wanna come be my friend, YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO DO SO.

Facebook is okay, but it's just a superficial as the outside world.

Agreed!

I don't post very often because I don't have an in-depth life!

[identity profile] myendeavorca.livejournal.com 2012-09-19 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Everyone post away! FB will go the way of MySpace eventually! I stay on there because of friends from the neighborhood & relatives & high school & college connections & some co-workers. A lot of people are inappropriate cussing airing their dirty laundry on fb, I save the juicy stuff for LJ! Fb feels too public for me!

Too right! This is the place to pour your heart out. FB is just for pointless little interactions.
