Life on the net

[lonelyislet]

I have no idea what to do with this account, really. I barely remember what I posted here or commented on other people's stuff. I feel like (as probably so many people do) erasing it and starting over because I feel like I've probably been dumb and posted the "wrong" things (no specific meaning behind it but I'm not a great blog writer)

I wonder if things had been different if I'd picked a set (never just one) of more or less consistent names on the internet over the last few years, if I'd tried to be "me" more, not just a succession of (bad) screennames

(I created at least one Tumblr account and I hate what I posted there and want to delete that, too)

Also, for anyone wondering - "lonelyislet" is a fucking terrible name. I've never made good screennames. This one isn't consistent, you shouldn't find many posts from that handle (unless someone else used it, on other sites). I've gone by a few names in the by now decades long period I've been using the internet

newcomers has lots of resources about how to use Dreamwidth and where to find things you'll enjoy here, which might be helpful when returning, whether you keep this journal or create a new one. If you're coming from Tumblr, soc_puppet is posting tutorials for that angle. Find your Tumblr friends here.

The Follow Friday Master Post has lists of active communities by topic where you can look for some based on your interests. Many bloggers use recurring posts to pin down their key interests and maintain activity, which is also a good source of inspiration if you aren't sure what you want to post yet.
