Agreed. I like that I can keep up with what's going on with friends, as well as get info on just about any celebrity I choose - news, photos, etc. I know that's not everyone's thing, but it's enjoyable for me.
The friends I have made, the stories we share. The support we give each other. The whole package really. That's why I plan to journal here as long as I can.
Conversation...convenience. When I took a year off from LJ, I found that all but 2 of my LJ friends weren't willing to keep in touch by email. That's what brought me back. I missed everyone too much.
The potential to meet people with similar interests and keeping up with the friends you've made. It also becomes a hobby as well. Often I am inspired by others postings like photos, poems, thoughts, etc
I have more interaction here than I do in my life. I have people who love me, talk to me, help me, cry with me, whatever. And I can vent to my heart's content about things that break me down. This is where I regain my strength.
It really isn't addictive for me. I've actually been trying to post stuff lately to get back into it. It's a good venting tool when no one is around to vent to, though. And my posts probably increase whenever Brad is away. Haha.
I think it's the camaraderie, for the most part. When you go through something, USUALLY people ARE supportive I have had a few non supportiveness, but are they really friends anyway?
Ditto. (sorry for the late reply, I'm catching up)
I have made some really tight friends via LJ and enjoy the diversity and sharing of thoughts, supports, laughter, and knowledge I gain from each and every one on my friends list!
The interaction with others, making friends from all around the world, being able to share my life with my friends here and being able to talk about things I would never share with people who know me in real life....and then there is this addiction with icon-making ;)
Sometimes I don't even know... lol. Maybe it's my penchant to have connection with human beings at (almost) all times.... maybe it's that i enjoy the attention and GIVING attention to others. Maybe it's just the connection I feel with people through it.
I really don't know. But when i go a day or two without ANY lj i do feel the absence.
