popped in to say hello
I'm on Facebook a lot these days, but you know what? I can't really write anything serious there. Facebook feels like those peripheral friends at school you can joke all day with, but then you can't wait to get home to the neighborhood kids who really know you, can see you walking to your house and can see something's wrong, and they ask "What's going on?" and you sit on the stoop and tell them about your day. And they listen.
No one is very serious on FB. It's a non-stop party sometimes. Nauseating, really. It's nice to keep in touch, but, jeeze, aren't there clouds in anyone's skies?
It's not a forum for soul-letting or soul searching, for that matter. It's LOL or ROFL or OMG... Life's just not that fucking funny every day, you know?
I've met some nice people on there, but it's very polite company. I got it. It's not LJ. Here, it's much more intense, personal, intimate, if that's possible. SUre, it's possible, because t the writing dictates the atmosphere. SUre, we laugh it up and goof off here all the time! But... it's different. There seems to be an element of confidence and trust here I have grown to like. I hope I offer that to the friends on my list as well. Sure, not all friendships are that way here, and that is fine. But Facebook is just that - the surface, the facade of the building, and not so much anything deeper that that.
So, I think I'm missing my LJ forum more than I first realized. I miss my LJ friends.
