Thank you

I just wanted to thank the people who still read and comment on my blog. I think there are about 6 folks left who read it, and I'm not being at all facetious - I really appreciate each one of you for doing so.

For whatever reason, lately LJ's demise in popularity has really been bothering me even though LJ has been dwindling for quite some time. But even has recently as 2011 when I was really into X-men First Class, the X-men comms on LJ were buzzing; it was still a very active place.

I miss LJ being active. For my fandom now, there's good activity on FB, Tumblr, and Reddit and I've learned to appreciate those mediums for what they are and be glad they exist. But LJ was/is special. None of the above places let you combine fangirling with personal blogging and you can't get as in-depth anywhere else either. LJ has its flaws but I've also had so many good interactions and discussions here over the years.

Definitely I plan to stick with LJ as long as one or two others who I like are posting and one or two others are reading my LJ. I do seriously mourn its loss of popularity, and that's why I want to thank anyone who is reading this or even glancing at it.

And sorry for doing a lot of lurking lately. I am buried in writing just now with the 365 Challenge, a fanfic gift exchange, a book collection, and trying to get back on the pony of updating fanfics like "Son o' de Guild." Maketh me a major lurker everywhere.

You have nothing to apologize for. I was an idiot to take you off my f-list way back when. My apologies!

[scribblemyname]

No problem! :hugs:

So you're not mad? Thank you.

[scribblemyname]

No, I'm not mad. I was worried when it happened because you just so happened to coincide with my mentioning how conservative I was and my frustrations communicating with liberals who read everything I said as disagreement when I was actually agreeing with them at the time. So I was worried, but then you said that wasn't why and it was mostly my lurkerliness and I breathed relief because I try not to let political or sensitive issues come between me and people I'm friends with.

I was frenetically cleaning out my f-list at that time and removing anyone who I thought hadn't commented for a while....but as I am in every aspect of my life, I often go too fast and make errors.

In any case, thank you for your patience. :)
