I did it. I finally gave in to the prodding of my friends and started a livejournal. I’m still not sure why, but what the heck. It might be therapeutic, or even fun. Just to think that the random bablings of my deranged mind will be on the internet for all to see :eek: [http://www.livejournal.com/users/thanos563](http://www.livejournal.com/users/thanos563) for anyone interested. ---

I started one too. And wanted to post a thread about it. My own sense of self-worthless stopped me. [Mine](http://www.livejournal.com/users/lobley) ---

Hey, me too! And I was the same as Lobsang. Considered, then ditched, the idea of making a thread about it. [Here it is](http://www.livejournal.com/users/antaresjb/) ---

I thought about not making a thread. Then decided I had to since **Geobabe** was kind enough to be the providor of my code. This is after all, the forum for the Mundane and Pointless which will most likely fit my journal to a T. ---

I’ve had one under the name Utopiaseas for 2 years, but I haven’t updated much lately. It’s an interesting read though, of how one’s life can change completely due to internet friends. ---

Let’s see… Plenty of time wasting things to do while you don’t have a lot on your desk, like quizzes and tests and surveys and the like. Reading about things that people may not feel comfortable posting to the Board in general. Cleavage pics. A chance to get to know people a little better than you can through the board. And best of all, me 😃 ---
