A note about my not-a-journal

lydyI don't really use LJ as a journal, just so y'all know. I treat it more as an APA, or something. It's a place for essays, and occasional entries about things in my life. But it's not a day-to-day thing. You probably noticed that part already, though.
The other thing is, I don't read other people's LJs very often. I'm sorry if you think I'm being rude. If you issue invitations or make major announcements on LJ, you can be pretty certain that I haven't seen them. Friends may or may not remember to mention these things to me.
I feel excluded, sometimes. Of course, people who set up social events and announce important information using LJ usually feel like I'm not really interested in them. On the other hand, turn about is fair play. When I was heavily involved in r.a.s.f.f., a lot of people who didn't participate felt excluded by the conversations of people who were involved. There are really endless possibilities for miscommunication, almost as many as there are in face-to-face.
If there's something interesting on someone's LJ, or something you want to be sure I know, you could always drop me email. Not that I'm anything like a stellar correspondent, but I almost always read my e-mail.
So, just so that you know. I'm not actually ignoring you in particular. I'm just ignoring you in general.
