journaling????
Apr. 11th, 2025 01:04 pmBeen seeing some talk on tumblr about moving back to dreamwidth, and damn, it did motivate me to dust off this account I never really used. I really miss the LJ heyday and I've lamented that sometimes but I gotta stop acting like that type of site is dead. It's still here and I can use it.
I even was keeping up a dw account for personal use for a while (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
grubdog , where I was keeping track of what recipes I used and how I modified them every time I tried a new recipe. I don't think it's really of interest to other people, but hey, you can look at it if for some reason you want to know what I am cooking.) Honestly it was very helpful. Ever since I lost the login to it for a while and couldn't be assed to reset the password I've been going "wait, what was that recipe I used again?" like I always did before I made that blog. And Google is getting worse and worse and making it WAAAAY harder to just find the blog you got the recipe from last time so, yeah, I really need to be using that blog again because I have been FEELING the need for that little organizational tool again.
But that's not a very social use for this site. I want to be here just to chat it up too. Which is where this account comes in. Idk. I should have been here all along. It took twitter falling apart, I guess. There's nothing wrong with the twitter-likes bluesky et al. but going on them, trying to start from scratch, really brought into perspective how much I never STRUCTURALLY enjoyed the fast and bite-sized social media, I liked the whole "my friends are there" aspect of it and that was it.
