What about other family members, or face-space friends - do they get free (or more) access to lj/forums/fic/whatever? I mean, parents are quite different, in the level of sharing with them, than other friends, and even other family members, right? Is there an online difference, too?
Please don't be too Mondayed, OK?
When I left the house, the cats were already beginning to slump into melted little sacks of furry protoplasm... and it's only going to get hotter.
Ditto. But I'm told today or tomorrow on the new ac. Hmm. Do I dare dream?
I can imagine my mom blogging, and it would probably be a lot like the lovely emails she sends me which are very old fashioned letter-like, BUT there's this big hurdle known as
new computer things.
So not holding my breath. Dad just...wouldn't. It's not his style at all. Now my brother, I'd love it if he blogged. He's got such an odd perspective on things, and really seems to find the absurd with alarming regularity. He's one of those people who fits into a lot of very different worlds easily, but at the same time can't really be set into any particular mode. I mean, he's a car racing amateur auto mechanic, a father, a cancer researcher grad student, ex-Army, living in the thick of southern as it gets football NASCAR country of which he is a fan of neither and yet he finds himself being given primo tickets to both and ...it's just the stories he finds when supposedly minding his own business (ha!) are surreal.
Only a few old friends have my LJ link. Most of my realspace friends are work aquaintances, or insufficiently geeky to get into fannish squee. And my LJ is really really fannish--more so than my involvement here on B.org. There's other stuff on it too, but I post a lot of fic and fic recs there, and that's just a whole place I don't want to go to with a lot of people. Especially my family.
I was an idiot once and gave my crush access to lj.
Luckily, he's a busy man, but...no.
Rather be read by strangers.
Gosh, I'm sure glad we won the war against dictatorships with weapons of mass destruction, or else we'd be in more trouble than when Bush took office....
Theodosia has my brain this morning. Good think I'm not really using it.
I woke up into a migraine this morning.
So I emailed the boss to tell her I'm working from home, and went back to bed. Almost two hours later, still pain. Hmmph.
Bah. Monday is ON THE LIST.
I don't really share my online life with my other friends, to the great consternation of at least one of them. She's fascinated!!
I have a big important meeting at 10, so I'd better be clearheaded enough to call in then. Things are not looking great. I may have to reschedule it.
I've told three friends, I think, about b.org. Two of them got not much further than the front page. The third did read a bit, but I'm pretty sure it was a one shot thing.
Wow, ita, you're seriously Mondayed. Sorry.
don't really share my online life with my other friends
I guess that this is what I find interesting - it seems fairly easy for (some, certain, obviously not all) online-freinds to become face-space-friends, but it seems quite difficult to go the other way around, in a way.
Oh, and each face-space person who heard about b.org and actually got on the front page, at least, returned to me with questions about "what's that town with your name on it? What's the deal?". They never got far enough inside (other than the 3 specific friends, on the specific threads on my USA trip), so I never had to explain the whole verb thing. I have no idea how I would have done that.
