I noticed a migration to dreamwidth a while back and made an account but never did anything with it. I vaguely wonder if dreamwidth is more active than I realize. For me personally, I've stopped writing posts about the bummers in my life because I get depressed writing them and I don't think people really want to read them. The bulk of non-bummer, happy stuff in my life is currently larp related, which sounds kind of obsessive, but for one thing... I am kind of obsessive (let's call it enthusiastic) and for another, larp is an outlet for my other hobbies, too. Larp inspired me to take dance classes, costuming for Larp inspires me to work on sewing and other art hobbies (like calligraphy, sketching, and other prop building crafts) and my current main sport is boffer fighting. And all of that stuff ends up on my larp-focused blog, leaving... mostly tv and movie reviews for my lj. Some of which get so long and rambly that I just leave them as private. It's kind of a drag for me to see lj dwindle. I much prefer the content her than the content on twitter, fb, and tumblr. As bad as lj is for holding conversations, tumblr is that much worse, and the noise to signal ratio on tumblr is so very high. I should make an effort to post more here just to encourage more lj use, but I don't know what to say here. Maybe I should be cross posting stuff from the larp blog here, but I've never gotten into the habit of cross posting. I dunno.
