In Which Differences Are Discussed
You know, it's odd about the differences between d-land and lj. Here on Diaryland, I don't expect messages ever. I just mutter on about whatever, whenever I want to and that's it. I don't expect anyone to read this -- particularly not anymore. I don't expect comments or notes or stuff in my guestbook. On Livejournal, though, I find myself constantly checking for replies to my posts, even the stupid, insignificant ones. I feel slighted when my friends -- both near and far -- don't comment. I wonder if they've even bothered to read what I have to say. I see other friends who can't post without having at least one person and usually 4 or 5 comment and I wonder why whatever it is that I have to say is so ... uncomment worthy. It's stupid, but it still manages to hurt. I don't even know why.
That having been said, I'm not sure how often I'm going to be back here. I still have that tendency to keep big things, personal things to myself and d-land isn't set-up for brief, random thoughts like lj is. I think, however, that d-land will continue to be my refuge of public anonymity.
