I'm kind of disturbed by

joncub's departure, like

low_fat_muffin's earlier in the year. It's hard to imagine investing so much time and energy, then suddenly abandoning it all.

I guess LJ is like a cocktail party. There are people who are open and friendly, there are others who are reserved. There are those that, no matter what you try, just seem to ignore you. There are those who want to make a big impression, and those who do make a big impression. There are those you stop and listen to, and those you pass by.

And those that when you turn around to speak have suddenly split without a word.

Perhaps all of the above should be in the past tense.

Oh well - I still don't think I can do Facebook. I opened it up this weekend to consider. As usual when I reached the privacy settings, I couldn't believe it. It depresses me that something so hacked together has practically conquered the world.

I am still unnerved that people who are obviously intelligent choose Facebook over LJ. It can only be a numbers game because no one could claim it is content driven.

If I was paranoid it would make me wonder whether, if microchips were the basis of a new network, many would ultimately just follow the crowd.
