More on my live-journal

Funny how this journal thing turned out. When I started off, my intended audience was mainly myself, though the inspiration came from and . too started to post and it became a way for real life friends like us to update each other on the latest and greatest. Nice and cozy.

The first real invader was . He added both and me to his friends list, which caused us a lot of confusion and worry. Who was this guy in real life ? We were sure he was one of our college mates - who else would be interested in reading our journals ? Enlightenment dawned when we realized that you don't need to be friends in real life to befriend another l-jer. A-ha ! , the grand-daddy of all India based l-jers was next, followed by , , , , , et al. I went out and searched lots of journals, went on multiple adding sprees. Removed some, retained most.

I've been consciously trying not to post for any specific reader in mind. This journal is exactly what it should be, IMO - an online diary. Its been fun and I don't want to stop. However my target audience remains the same - myself. This is being quite self centered I guess, but what the heck ! My previous post was intended to convey this. It wasn't an angry outburst against anyone or anything in particular.

One very pleasant outcome of the entire l-j experience has been meeting a bunch of extremely nice people with similar tastes. I've met folks here who share my passion for movies, books, quizzing, trivia, beer, beef, asterix, kerala, sheer cussiness and what have you. You folks know who you are, take a bow. And thanks for making this a great ride.

    This is by far and away, a really difficult thing to do as the friends list expands.. and that you have maintained it as so, is admirable.

    Well, I am glad ya added (and retained) moi.
    Here's to the ride :)

    Every time I can see a post with the little lock, it makes me feel happy. I was never part of the "in-crowd" in school.

    This journal is exactly what it should be, IMO - an online diary.

    Hurrah! That's how I feel about mine.
