I rarely use my Livejournal anymore, in fact I keep it purely to read other friends' entries. Tumblr has a similar use to Twitter - it's community based and designed for the fast sharing of things you find interesting. However, I've quickly come to realise that the Tumblr 'community' is mostly made up of prepubescent teens complaining, starting arguments and doing almost anything they can to get attention. That's all fine, I was more than likely the same at one time but it isn't something I wish to partake in now. My Vox as far as I know only has one reader so I use that as a place to occasionally post more personal entries but I hate its restrictions when it comes to customisation.
So I suppose that leaves this blog. I know from site statistics that (though many choose not to comment) this blog gets a lot of traffic, most likely from my YT channel - so I know that people must be interested.... goodness knows why. Like many of the brilliant blogs I read on Bloglovin.com, I'm going to use this blog as more of a 'lifelog'. There isn't much difference of course but it removes the idea of structure and means I'll be posting anything and everything; photos, thoughts, things I find interesting.
Hopefully that will encourage me to post as I don't have to think about sitting down and writing a huge, witty entry every time - though I'll definitely be doing that when the mood takes me. I just like the idea of having one place in which to collect life's events. It will be like the Livejournal that I've had since I was twelve, though hopefully a lot less cringeworthy......
I would call this 'Arcadian 2.0' but to be honest, I don't think it ever really left beta.
