Cooking with Lani on LJ

Question. Why do I feel more comfortable talking with Lani on LJ than here? Why do I find Thraxil, which is cooler than LJ by a mile, and soemthing I'm dying for as one of my own, more intimidating? Why am I more scared of looking like an idiot here? I can look like an idiot anywhere. It must be me. I'll resolve to be more of an idiot everywhere... and find happiness that way.

yeah, actually i feel more comfortable talking on LJ myself. maybe it's because so far i feel like from my experiences hitting random that LJ is populated by girls in high school going to proms and having sleep overs.
i'm also having a hard time figuring out what to put in my thraxil journal. but i shall resolve to try harder myself. sigh i wish we could all meet in some virtual room for a heart-warming session of cabaret dancing and "i'm an ahole" singing.

I have a womb of one's own on BayMOO and on LambdaMOO. Be happy to meet on either... but i don't sing well, and don't know the words.

hmm... for some reason livejournal just seems really slow. i just pulled up lani's livejournal page and i had to wait over two minutes.
i can understand some of the reasoning behind having multiple places to post things (i added the diary feature to thraxil because i wanted somewhere to put things that i felt were more specific to me and wouldn't be as interesting to a general audience). personally, i can't see much reason for more than about two but... Do What Thou Wilt...

LJ is very different. It is the ability to join thematic groups... poetry, poetry girls, beachware; and to set up friends lists. The sense of community is both liquid and fecund. The rest of it sucks... techwize

my favorite place to look like an idiot is in front of my friends. it's a good source for generating comic relief. fear not our scorn, brave christian soldier.
