Conquistador Of The Soul

[lupestripe]

Over the last five years, this journal has evolved. I used to talk about things which fascinate me, ephemera of life, and I used to ask philosophical questions about love, life and the Fandom. Now there is twitter for that and I tend to use LJ as a record of all the things I get up to.

This has caused me to wonder whether people find my journal interesting. Whilst I subscribe to the belief that people should write what they like on their journal, I am also aware there is a small audience I should consider whenever I embark on my ramblings. So what would you like me to write about? Is there anything in particular?

Quite the opposite - I find Twitter in general to be utterly vacuous and devoid of substantive content, while LJ, because of its inherent capability for elaboration, is almost always interesting to some extent. What most people who use Twitter fail to recognise is that no one but themselves really cares about what they tweet. How much can ANYONE really be interested in a mere 140 characters worth of content? I surely can't. I can't even care about what I write about to such a trivial extent. Fuck that nonsense. Frankly, I don't know why anyone bothers with Twitter. It's like shouting into a black hole as far as I'm concerned.

Twitter and LJ are two different mediums - I enjoy both but I use them for different things. Twitter is just a mind dump really whilst LJ is for posts which are more substantive. The problem is time, it's difficult to find the time to post on journals but as I need to take a bus to work, I do get half an hour a day to post which means I can keep this journal pretty fresh.

There is a lot of vacuous triviality on twitter but there is also some gold on there too. I tend to write nonsense or short philosophical sentences in the hope of making people laugh or think. LJ is still the default place I go if I want to write things with meaning. The problem is that illiciting a response on LJ is far more difficult these days than it is on twitter.
