(no subject)

What attracted me to LJ was the idea of writing about anything that interests me at the moment, without worrying about whether it's interesting to other people or appropriate to a particular locale. It's true that I'm aware of my audience - at first I tried not to have one, by not telling anyone I was keeping an online journal - but it's also true that I feel freed by the opt-in nature of LJ. If you're not interested in what I write, why are you reading my journal?, I ask my inner critic when it accuses me of being boring or precious or self-involved. And my inner critic has to shut up.

It occurs to me that while this is a feature to me, a LJ writer, to many LJ readers it's probably something more like a bug.

why I read

I found you thru a friends of friends looking and read a few entries and figured you were a kewl person. We might have met at a APC. Also we are very likely moving to DC/Baltimore area once sweetie finishes the dissertation so I figured reading your journal would give me some idea of that region.
