so live journal may go away. i just want all of you to know that i will really miss you. i already miss a few who have left or severely curtailed their journalling. e-mail just isn't the same. i'm sure i would keep up with a few people that way, and some friendships would last, but i don't do e-mail well, and it doesn't lend itself to actual conversation or banter the way LJ does. and instant messaging is too quick. there is a tendency to be flip, to get more than one thread going at once, only occasionally do i have a really deep AIM conversation. plus, there is a past to LJ. if someone intrigues you, you can go back and learn a bit more about them, follow their journal to the present. i have taken a quick look over at blogger. it isn't the same. there seems to be a lot less give and take on entries. i really hope someone finds a way to preserve this place or something like it.

There are some other sites running the LJ code. The only one I can name is deadjournal.

but do they have the capacity to handle the flood of withdrawl-stricken LJers who would descend on them if LJ actually went bellyup?

I'm hoping this is just an over-reaction.

Forever fatally optimistic,

action vs reaction....

I sense all of us saying goodbye
when we could pool our ideas...
possibly together as paid members
come up with a feasible solution.
I don't want to give up on lj,
it's the best the net has to offer
for a forum such as this.

...and watching my friends here,
I've learned the basics of html,
this is something I never thought
possible with my brain blip problem,
a small step to you all, but a
giant step for me.)
I've seen art at its best, writing
that has moved me beyond belief.
For me, lj isn't simply a journal,
it is the creative process
in process.

We're just all panicked that Brad will sell to a big corporation. That's all.
