1:13 pm	my article My friend Brett who lives in Portland got dumped by his girlfriend Merissa for his friend Josh who left his girlfriend Laurie for her. How did I find out about it? From my friend? Heck no! From the LJ baby! Thats the live journal for all you LJ virgins, home to Americas new subculture, the gossiping internet geek. Its the online diary of choice. No longer is your journal a private way to record, vent or internalize your day. Now you can tell the world about it, backstab your friends, find other people with wierd fetishes or talk with total strangers - for free! Its pretty too, you can customize your journal with graphics, song titles and mood adjectives. And theres no censorship - at least I don't think so. How else would I find pictures of sex toys, perverse x-rays and other fun stuff? According to the Live Journal log, exactly 5,829,298 are members of the LJ community, which breaks down to approximately 500 posts per minute. Damn thats a lotta squawking going on! As a science experiment - OK I'm lying, let me start over - Because I'm a gossip I signed up to the LJ to see what its all about. I'm username FISHRAPLIVE if you wanna find me. Right away I found some friends and a few communities, which was way easier than it sounds. Now I have friends like coolfuckers, drbungholio, mack daddy, feckalyn a craven hussy with legs akimbo, xxbee the bitch wida thousand aliases, the bible belt athiests and love for keifer who have, you guessed it, love and adoration for Kiefer Sutherland... In just a few hours of LJ madness, I found: A group of American Lesbians, a girl who used to pose for erotic art and adopted a mountain gorilla in Africa, some disney lovers who want me to write in protest of the layoff of Lagniappie, but I don't know who he is, I think he's a mime from the French Quarter, but I don't like mimes so he's out of luck. I got the 411 on someones donkey dying. And I got invited by a dorm in Missouri whose having "a block party in our hall woot", I'd go, but what the fuck is a woot? I could go on ,but that would take up time I could be spending on the LJ cuz this craze is ADDICTING. My co-worker, who we'll call LJunkie is so strung out on it that she can't log off, she spends 3-6 hours a day on the LJ and she's even got the sweatshirt to prove it - only $19.95. The thing is that she;s not the only one, I found tons of junkies just like her, even some straight out SC. There's Sam user name WW whose journal was not logged out on the McHenry computer, see me for Sam's personal info, just kidding, don't worry Sam I logged you out. And Cowell College who by the by is having a halo 2 tournament for its residents, check out thier LJ, e-mail rywatt@ucsc.edu or come see Ryan in Apartment 1 - 202 for more info.

4:21 pm	Writing an article... Hi guys, My name is Rachel and I'm from Santa Cruz in Northern Cali. I am writing an article for my school paper on the LJ and am hoping (more like praying) you all can give me some insight into this and answer some questions for me - by tomorrow. That's because I am a lagger and my deadline is tomorrow night Jan. 19, 2005. I put the papers website on my profile so that you can check it out.  You don't have to answer all the questions if you don't want just as many as you can - THANK YOU! OK, here are my questions: 1. Where did you hear about the LJ? 2. What made you sign up for it and how long have you been on it? 3. How many friends of yours are on it? 4. Whats the craziest drama you've ever had on the LJ? 5. Whats the freakiest thing you've ever read (or written) on here? 6. Do you have LJ friends that you don't want to hang with (in person or online)? 7. Have you ever met a guy/girl in person who you met on the LJ? 8. Have you ever dated a guy you met on the LJ? 9. What do you like about the LJ vs what don't you like? 10. Freebie - anything else I should know???? OK, here's the deal, I LOVE YOU for doing this, just send me your comments and let me know if I can quote you directly and if you want a copy of the article which might or might not be good and might or might not be funny! THANK YOU ALL!!! Current Mood: Working Hard for No Money Current Music: Material Girl by Madonna (3 Comments |Comment on this)
