Add me, in whatever configuration you wish, and let me know who/where you are. I am struck suddenly by the overwhelming choices ahead of me: what is this for? do I import this LJ over there? isn't it silly to, say, start mirroring communities and things over there that I run here? what should my default icon be? was my_daroga the right choice? how is this different (for my use of it) from LJ and how is it the same and how do I know? isn't this an opportunity to redefine myself in terms of name, 100x100 picture, and interest list? and isn't that terrifying?

Those of you with accounts, or who plan on getting them: what's your plan, as far as the above (or similar) questions go? and does anyone have any donuts? I'm hungry.

ETA: If I'm any example, it looks like more people are getting invites through OpenID, etc. I don't have any codes yet, but I'll start a list in case people have trouble getting them.

You was wrong. Utterly.

Yeah... I have LJ angst anyway, because I actually think this journal is pretty boring and don't know why/if anyone reads it, and it's not because I don't have Things to Say, I think, it's because I am either busy, lazy, or both. So that makes me sad. And makes me post very little, because I think, "perhaps when I am older I will post this better" and then don't ever do it and then I get all depressed or angsty and spill my guts here and feel stupid. Argh.

As to comms it's like... Well, none of the things I'm into are very healthy (I mean vigorous, not morally fulfilling or whatever) so is there a point in a POTO comm over there? I dunno.

We can totally talk about forums and sites and prettifying and stuff. My journal is not that customy. There's really just a background image and a color scheme that is really just one color because I fear change. Not the same sort of change as you, but still. Point is--we can easily do over your journal with that image/color scheme and I'll even drive if you want.

As for GGK and reading in general... I don't know. I mean, I don't know what my taste is, so I don't suppose I can blame you. Also... I feel weird about books and reading in general. Because it is clear that I like to read very much. But I'm not sure what I like to read, or why, or how I feel about it, or why I find it impossible to really talk about books the way I can talk about movies, because I've liked books a lot longer. This upsets me. It is part of that thing from before about me not feeling smart.

But see, here I am getting all antsy when you just told me you're afraid I'm going to think your taste is shlock. When I'm pretty sure part of my problem is that I love DWJ and MZB and Tanith Lee and Susan Kay and PKD and Lolita and YA novels and feel somehow guilty about that. I also feel guilty about the fact that that list does not really accurately reflect me and as usual my memory is such crap I can't even remember "stuff I like to list in casual conversation."

I have so many problems, you don't even know!

Also I note, upon looking at GGK's site, that he is kind of cute. And I'm glad you stayed home. But you should watch something other than Christy, because you already watched that.

It strikes me that the stuff about my weird "talking about books" anxiety might actually be a good post, both in the sense of "that's an interesting take on social culture-sharing" and "good for me" as a person. If that makes sense. Why don't I do stuff like that?
