I nuked my old LiveJournal today and started fresh.

A good few years of posts, hidden behind a white screen and gone completely in 30 days.

Why? Primarily because I was sick to death of the dramafest it had become. I'm pretty sure that I'm surrounded by toddlers disguised as adults, and for some reason nobody seems to get that when I plaster a post with completely silly terminology and smiley faces, I'm bloody well JOKING.

So I decided, forget it. It's time for serious writing time, and that's it.

Most of my writing will be here from here on in. I'm not entirely sure who will read it - the nice thing about LJ is that it's all conglomerated in a pretty little RSS feed so they don't have to leave the comfort of their LJ environment. Or blogspot, as relates to family. But I restarted an LJ which will be friends-only, for the purpose of reconnecting with the slight few who act their age as well as for connecting with some of the communities that can only be found there.

I will likely copy entries from here over there, actually. Who knows, maybe I'll be spotlighted someday.

I also want to take more pictures and showcase them. I want to make my journal(s) an actual piece worthy of viewing by the intelligent public, as if it/they were being submitted for grading in a Comm/English/Design/etc. class. I've decided what time I spent in front of the comp should be quality time.

I'll be minimizing the info from others that I read; I'll look at some photo comms and some "journals with a purpose" (like recipe communities) but it became so easy to make LJ a giant time-waster that I wasn't getting nearly enough sleep.

Speaking of... it's 1:15 in the morning. I have a photo contest to shoot for in the morning. Night, loveys :)
