I swear I'm going to start posting here again.

[alexmegami]

I'm just... tired.

Who still reads here, anyway? roseneko, I know you're still around. A couple of others. Ferrett and Zoethe I don't think follow me, so that's no good unless I'm commenting on their stuff.

I want internets socialization that isn't fucking Facebook.

Maybe I'll just start posting about therapy...

Well, I still read stuff from time to time. I decided to try out accounting this time around for a major so we'll see how that goes.

[alexmegami]

I've been following that! It sounds like you're doing really well there.

Somewhat ironically, I've been more active on LJ the past couple of years than I was during much of its heyday, largely due to friending a few nifty people who still use it regularly. While a lot of folks have jumped ship to Facebook, I think a few are trickling back, especially those of us who are particularly verbose value the nuance that longer-form posts and responses allow.

I would like to hear about your therapy, if you're interested in posting. It's your journal, after all - this is where it's okay to be all about you! But if you're not comfortable doing so (even under friendslock) that's totally fine. I'm also curious about your work situation, love life, goals and hopes. (Basically this.)

I've missed you. :)

It's not that I'm necessarily uncomfortable posting about it, specifically. It's that I feel like FB (for... various reasons, but which are ultimately encapsulated in "my uncle") has really trained me out of wanting to talk about anything deep/meaningful to me, which sucks.

I'll have to do all that as a faux-meme, I think! ;) (Unfortunately, and under see also: therapy, goals and hopes are, basically, "Ummmm I dunno? having goals and hopes seems very... draining." :/)

Oh, ow. I've been there. It's a tough spot, but strangely alluring. (Which I guess makes sense...lowest energy state, requires least amount of effort, etc.)

I can offer advice, if you want. But I suspect tea and sympathy is more the thing. So come on over, I've got all kinds. <3

*tea* *hugs*

Haha, well, Patrick and I still have plans to someday end up in Chicago for a vacation (his car engine recently... exploded, so that's kind of on hold right now), so I will definitely take you up on that in person sometime. :)

Been reading a lot about MBTI types, mostly due to a comment someone else made about their perceptions of me in HS (I consider myself to have been a pretty obvious ENTP; she thought I was much more F and I'm like hahahaha what no?), versus now, where I'm still EN, but equally test as ENTP or ENFJ depending on the test I'm using. So now I've been reading/watching YouTube videos about dominant/auxiliary/tertiary/inferior functions and there was a very interesting post about what an ENTP in the grip of their inferior functions are like? And I was like "yes, that's pretty much exactly what my depression sounds like".

Does Facebook not let you hide all posts to specific people? Kind of like shadow-banning them?

[alexmegami]

It does, but as soon as I post something that I don't actually mind everyone seeing (and thus open it to the world), I have to remember on the next post to re-shadow-ban everyone.

Hi!

[alexmegami]

Hi hi! How are things with you?

[chezmax]

Surprisingly busy! Having a good summer so far.

[sasuran.livejournal.com]
