It's just such an amazing time capsule...that's what forces me to blog on. Even when I'm bored of myself I write because I want to be able to re-read it again in 3-5-8 years...and see how far I've come or how I resolved issues or how I'd made goals and dreams realities....that's why. :) It won't die, and unlike paper it is just a bonus when someone comments. Or likes what you have to say! And I feel much virtually closer to my LJ friends than I have with MySpace or now fb. In fact those sites annoy me, but for some reason I haven't abandoned fb...yet!
