It's a whole new game.
Though it's a whole new journal instead.

I hopped onto Blurty, because I knew I needed a break from the Livejournal crowd. For a short while there I was holding my breath, hopeful that in the brief wave of ship-jumping, Blurty would not go the way of Livejournal once it had tapped into the Elfwood crowd. So far, not a lot of people have indeed taken that leap.

I am relieved.

I don't mind tarlia finding me. I welcome her. Gette has been one of my longest standing online friends, if not the longest one. I have always had respect for her, her no-nonsense approaches, her subtle tongue (text) lashings, her wit and her friendship. I hope to continue being her friend for many years more.

I know that for as long as I stay on Livejournal, I'll be reminded of Elfwood. That's part of why I fled here.
Yet perhaps it's time for me to make my peace, maybe try to cross some bridges that I had abandoned (not burned), and hope for the best once I set foot upon the other side. I'm scared and hopeful at the same time.

I sound like I'm feeling my age, don't I? I think I am, heh.

Things and people change over time, some for the better, some for the worse. It's the cycle of life.
I know that I've changed.
Though I wonder if I have grown.

I can identify with the need to distance yourself from the LJ/Elfwood crowd. For me, it's more of the latter group. While my friend list has a high density of Elfwooders (who won't even be there if I didn't trust or respect them), there's people I met from other places as well. I love my Elfwood friends to bits and probably won't have never met some of them if it wasn't for the site, but sometimes I want to be with people with no shared history between us. I'll always end up judging Elfwooders by which camp they sit in and boy do we have a list. Of course the irony is that I'll never fully escape association with Elfwood. ;P (Reply to this) (Thread)
