Hell Freezes Over
Dec. 15th, 2004 09:28 amIce is forming on Sisphysus's rock. (Not to mention his protruding entrails.) Beatrice has put a white lambswool hat on her head. (For purity, you know?) Lillith is wrapping up in a biker jacket and pashmina scarf. Lucifer is dressed head-to-toe in the fur of small, cute, intelligent animals.
Yes, bois and grrls, I have given in and gotten a livejournal.
Why, you might ask? Well, there are several reasons.
1) Five years ago, when I first took my hard anti-live-journal stance, it seems that livejournal's main use was in creating and expanding drama. It has been demonstrated to me that this is no longer the case. To wit, all of my friends seem to have lj accounts these days, and many, even most of them, are not drama queens.
2) Speaking of which, more and more events that I care about are posted on livejournal, not to mention discussions of things that interest me.
3) I am about to lose my job, which will mean I will have even more gobs of free time on my hands, and I really don't want to join any more mailing lists.
4) Where else could I post about crocheting projects and kinky sex in the same place?
I am still concerned about drama avoidance, and will do my best to be careful about that, probably by not posting anything about my relationships (except for the bits that have to do with kinky sex).
What I do intend to post is stuff about the yarn projects I have finished or am working on, books I am reading, DVDs I'm watching, parties I'm attending, and food I'm making. Could be monumentally boring, could be interesting. You be the judge.
Now, all you many many people I know on livejournal, give me love so I feel less insane for doing this!
