so I'm going to do stuff on Dreamwidth, I guess

Over the course of a super long time (& somewhat prompted by one of my friends asking me to edit his semi-social emails, and the bit in "Why You Never Truly Leave High School" that talks about how teenagers aren't good at gauging social relationships), I've realized that I really don't do longform well.

I'm not used to semi-formalized discourse, with proper paragraphs and everything. I'm not used to phrasing things in a way that doesn't rely on gifsets or capslock or lazy pop-culture jokes, and you know what? Tumblr isn't helping with that. Actually, the sort of high-octane reblogging I do on Tumblr isn't helping me at all! I love Tumblr, but I want to actually talk to people about things. Case in point: I met a girl at a Gay-Straight Alliance mixer and we follow each other, but all we do is reblog.

So! I'm going to try out Dreamwidth as a platform. Wish me luck!

Also, some fairly arbitrary suggestions of people on dw to check out, not all update very often but they do read and comment and are nice and/or interesting people: sanguinity ember_keelty flamebyrd gnatkip torachan lea_hazel cest_what lizbee pseudo_tsuga skygiants velithya transcendancing angiereedgarner astridv emilly hl jeshyr kaz lian oyceter softestbullet the_future_modernes yiduiqie thefourthvine (she is a massive BNF so probably won't comment but is fun to read :))

Then there's this friending meme: http://kouredios.dreamwidth.org/226094.html
