1) I have joined the internet lemmings and manifested another self in this particular tribal area.
2) At the same time, this came at an opportune time. I had been considering a reinvention of self of sorts for some time, or, to put it another way, going back to my basic self. I suspect that I lost of it somewhere along the way. Or didn't lose, but stopped paying attention to it. My LJ has become cluttered with noise, some created by people I don't particularly want to read or, indeed, to have anything to do with, but for various reasons feel unable to remove from my "friends" list. And for whatever reason, especially in the latter months, I have felt reluctant to post there, myself.
I need my own space, where I feel comfortable. I'm hoping DW will serve towards that. I want to be able to post longer, at least semi-coherent things here, without feeling self-conscious. I haven't been writing much at all lately, and I'm hoping to address that too.
I'm not planning to dump LJ, because I'm nosy and like gossip. But I'd like to treat it as a place to visit, and DW as a home. If possible.
Apologies to LJ's tygertyger for grabbing the name - I am not she. But the slow get eaten by the fast.
