Laundry blogging

kitchen_kinkI've figured out that most folks have moved on from Livejournal at this point, and everyone's scattered across the four winds - Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Dreamwidth. What this does for me, though, is interesting; it begins to restore this space to a place where not so many people are watching. I feel it frees me up again to write what I feel, and also to write things I know will probably be dull to others. It makes this space feel more like a journal and less like a blog - the latter being a place where I feel some responsibility to write well and with my audience in mind.
It's been too long since I've simply written whatever's in my head or whatever's going on just as a way to keep a record, and I think I just figured out that the reason for that is less that I don't have time or that other, shorter-attention-span services have taken over, nor even that I'm happier and so I write less. I think I've gotten out of the laundry-blogging habit because I've held myself to too high a standard.
Well, this little journal is probably about to go from quiet to loud but dull, so if you're still reading, thanks, and I do love comments. But I think I'll be making a shift from that being its primary purpose.
