erg. I'm being a bad LJ friend again, not talking to folks, not commenting. At this point, I'm barely reading, I keep opening stuff and wandering away from it. I'm kind of bored, and I'm not sure if it's fandom, or this whole thing in general. Also, it's way too easy to see how this addiction is kind of screwing up my life--not in a big dramatic way, but little tiny stumbling blocks way. Well, next week I'm at work a lot so I'm going to take it as a journaling vacation.

It's so weird, though--hand in hand with my growing dissatisfaction with This Thing Of Ours, comes this incredible upswing in writing, and the desire to write. I've finished quite a few things that have been sort of hanging on, and I'm slowly pulling together the idea for a very nasty story. It should be fun to write. And some funny stuff. I miss funny stuff.

Went out in the crowded public today and did fairly well, until the end of our little excursion when it just got to be a little too much and I ended up snapping at, of course, the safest person to snap at, my beloved. He took it fairly well, much better than I would have. We came home with cinnamon cider donuts, so any day you score those is worth the crap to get them--*G*

I read this earlier, felt a bit overwhelmed by all my own thoughts in a similar vein, and didn't comment. But I keep thinking about it, about commenting in general, about our journal community and my own sense that things are undergoing a tectonic shift, and wanted to make a point of coming back and trying to say something.

I don't know if it's the schism-y feeling that's arising from the rise of Dreamwidth as the first really viable alternative to LJ. Maybe for some of us, it's the demise of our primary fandom (whether SV or SPN--two major canons are closing). Possible This Whole Fandom Thing has nearly run its course, become too mainstream, lost the feeling of being a Sekrit Klub Hous.

Those are just some of my thoughts and feelings about it. Possibly I'm completely off base from what you're talking about here, but I wanted to check in and let you know that I read and thought about your post.

:(

I hope this feeling is a fleeting one. I don't want to lose you. I'm being selfish, I know, but I can't help it. sigh. At least your writing inspiration is back, yeah? xoxo (Beth)
