test one two three?

...seriously, are any of you alive out there? I feel like I'm just talking to myself today. Which, whatever, I talk to myself all the time anyway. I've held three successful conversations with my laptop and my iPod already today. Chuck and Dr. McCoy at least pay attention to me when I'm shamelessly begging for it. Even if I do have to provide their halves of the discussion as well.

Maybe I should get a skull. Skulls are a bit classier than stuffed animals for self-propelled conversational partners, right? I've had enough of talking to Jon Walker the bear, he's all fluff between the ears anyhow.

My attention span is so shot I keep pausing Sherlock to check my email and there's never anything there. SOMEONE INTERACT WITH ME, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY. Call me names if you want, I don't even care, just SAY SOMETHING TO ME.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Farmville, I fear no boredom, for my friendlist is with me. EXCEPT TODAY, HELLO, PEOPLE, WHAT'S SO INTERESTING ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO KEEP YOU OFF LJ?

Okay, wait, I know what I'm doing wrong. I need to shut up for a few days and then maybe you'll all miss me! ...or maybe you'll be relieved to not have my stupid ass clogging up your friends pages, this could backfire on me. Hm. I'm going to have to consider this further before I commit to a plan of action.

I AM. I actually can't believe I'm still awake. I thought playing my MMO would make me drowsy but I'm wiiiiiide awake.

It's actually kind of freaking me out. D:

HEY!! I just got online and saw this, and it made me feel bad. I had a day like this the other day, and I was like "DX WHY NO ONE COMMENT?!" lol - but then I realize I post excessively, so... ;-)

Don't leave us, I love reading your posts! I would worry if I did not see your posts on my flist!

Ah, I've been fighting this situation, desperately scrabbling through old boxes of paperwork. I can't do that and read LJ at the same time.

I'm here but I've been spending my morning watching cartoons and drinking tea and poking smot.

Oh hi, I'm here and will be on and off for talking purposes. Also I just woke up from a nap with the most cliched string of anxiety dreams ever! So that was kind of hilarious.

I'm alive, I was at work :D Slowly losing my mind...

I'm sorry, dear. Work has been really tiring me out. I actually just woke up a half hour ago. :(

You have a bear named Jon Walker. I think this is a fine thing to learn first thing in the day. :D

Currently have Linkin Park and Korn stuck in my head. It's like high school all over again, but without having to make sure every few minutes I'm not moving my lips to the words.

Hehehehe...okay, you're awesome. And I'm going to admit right at the outset that I'm commenting without having read any of the other 35 comments. I'm still at my desk at work -- I have a backyard campout to go to tonight, but I'll be away from the Net for the rest of the evening, so my best time to get my school discussion posts done is right now, much as I'd rather just ditch it and go over to C's! Anyway, though, yeah, this is the first time I've been on lj in two days, because once again I had to work a 12 hour day yesterday, and between that and the fact that school is seriously kicking my butt, I haven't had a whole lot of other time.

But -- you said all the things that I've been feeling lately. And you actually had the guts to say it.

BTW, I was laughing my head off at "though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Farmville!"

Now I don't know where to begin.

There were years in there when lj was really, really important to me. I even went to Alaska, at the core of it, because I wanted to spend time with two of my best lj friends face to face. When that went through and one was off my f-list altogether, comments mostly dried up. And I've been dealing with this for months now. It's kind of a low-level frustration following me wherever I go and whatever I'm doing by now. Because whether I like it or not, my crowd has changed, there's nothing I can do about it, and most of the newer people seem content to just listen. But I would love to do what you just did and scream to them all to even call me names, just send me an email, a text, a comment, pay attention to me in some way, shape or form! And actually I've had several really good long IM conversations lately now, and my text messages are back to the steady stream that I depend on so much, so I don't feel so lonely. But I got so frustrated with the sheer lack of attention on lj that I'm trying to wean myself off of doing mine at all. And it feels sooooo good to finally say this, and I know that I'm making a long personal comment on one of your posts -- but hey, it's attention and maybe we can spark a discussion, right? It feels like all anyone has had to say to me on the longer discussions (of any type, anything beyond "did you see --" or "want to get together and do --"), people start saying things like "I don't know what to say to you," which of course makes me want to throw something at them.

I should take a leaf out of your book and have out-loud conversations with my car and my teddy bears...wait a minute, I do that all the time. You should write 'em down at some point so we can all laugh along with you. I've heard that's a good writing exercise.
