akirluYeah, like I need another time sink. But here I am, late to the Adopter's Ball, as usual. Don't sass me now, ya whippersnappers. I knew Godwin before he was the Law.
I come not to seek community, but to leverage it. I've been lurking LiveJournal, posting comments to friends' LJs, attending live events, and taking flak for not having an LJ myself for sufficiently long that it seems time to knuckle under the inevitable. You've only yourselves to blame if this spells the deathknell of LiveJournal, like parachute pants and eight-track tapes before it. No, okay, I never did buy the parachute pants, actually. But I wouldn't mind that coat made from the pelts of a zillion dismembered Furbees.
I have no idea if I'll actually use this forum to blather into the ether much. As fora go, it seems more than usually prone to become a repository for the most banal observations otherwise interesting writers elect to make. Reading LiveJournal is a good way to appreciate the achievement of journalers who write consistently interesting and insightful entries, but it isn't necessarily inspirational. On the other hand, the repro costs are much cheaper than finally putting out my fanzine, so hey.
My journal, and welcome to it.
