I miss LJ sometimes. A lot of times. or, at least, I miss parts of it. I'm on tumblr, but it's a crap platform for interacting with people. I get so ANNOYED when people have 'conversations' back and forth showing up on my dash, and the reply function for posts isn't ideal, either. and I only follow a handful of people anyways because - as noted earlier - I'm particular about what I see on my dash. yes, Tumblr Savior, which I use and love, but I don't want a dash full of hidden posts.

sigh sigh, not as though I'm all that fannish nowadays.I mainlined Hemlock Grove the other weekend, and am watching some other TV (Arrow, Vikings, Parks and Rec, Mindy Project) but am not feeling particularly *fannish* about them. Getting excited about the new Star Trek movie, though. Going back and reading some old faves - or, trying to, because I never re-bookmarked after the Delicious shenanigans. stupid me.

and there's always - always - hockey, which will hopefully not be ending for me tonight (please please PLEASE WIN TONIGHT, YOU JERKFACES.) Went to the Rangers' game yesterday and it was so glorious. Also the only I've gone to for the playoffs so far because I'm still jeerleading and we had rehearsals their other two home games (and also tonight, which will be torturous.)

Anyways, I have a new job. Started last week. I have my own office, which is pretty fucking sweet. Look at this view! Also an upgrade in pay - now when I take surveys, I get to tick off a whole bracket higher under 'Annual Income'. YAY!

Thank you! Now they just need to get their shit together against Boston. bah! I don't think I can make it through this series.

I am totally with you on Tumblr. All the kids on there are all, 'OMG, LJ was so stupid and awkward I have so many friends here and we talk all the time!' and I wave my cane at them and tell them they're wrong and stupid. Congrats on the new job. :)

aahahaha, EXACTLY. I guess that makes LJ the old folks' home?

Awesome news on the new job and the view. I'm not all that fannish nowdays either. I watch but don't participate, if that makes sense. I don't do tumblr or much of anything else. Wincon is my one fannish thing that I do for myself.

*hugs*

yah yah, that's pretty much where I'm at. like, sometimes I'll seek out fic, but I usually just watch and enjoy. I get the itch to do art every now and then...but I'm lazy. :\

yaaay new job. and check out that super fancy view. that is awesome.

also omg Rangers. please win. pleeeease. (I saw the score a little while ago but don't want to jinx it.)

also tumblr is dumb for conversations. it feels super invasive to try and comment on a conversation that it never did when butting into a comment thread on lj. damn kids.

also I just started Hemlock Grove and yaaaaay!

Job yay job! (I meant to say that earlier. It is going to be awesome, and also I am very jealous that you don't have to share your office.)

I want to be more fannishly active on tumblr? (I mean, sorta? I lack focus.) But I can't make myself participate in conversations on it the way they have it set up. Just. No. Nobody needs to be be spammed like that. Also, how do you keep track of everything?!

YAY new job! Miss you too Cathy. ♥

I miss LJ too. I tried the tumblr thing and occasionally still read it but for me, it's not really an environment I feel like I can interact with people in. More of a consume and move on environment.

Re: new job, congrats! :)

Congrats on the job! That view is ridic.

Yeah, Tumblr is so disappointing on the interaction side of things. It's really annoying.

Hemlock Grove was so bad and so good.

I miss LJ too. I kinda decided to make a go at coming back to LJ. Tumblr stresses me out. i think I'm too old for it or something. IDK. Also HI. I'VE MISSED YOU.

Tumblr is AWESOME for pictures and gifsets and that's about it.
