The LIVE friend says I should go there because it&#8217;s better and there are more people. The DEAD friend hasn&#8217;t given an opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Given that DEADjournal came out of the source code from LIVEjournal, I figure them to be pretty much the same creature. Different sides of the coins, perhaps.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, boils down to two things. First, do I care one way or the other? Second, do I **REALLY** want to have a public journal.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m used to writing in my journal book. Writing long hand, the old fashioned way, putting pen to paper and smearing ink all over the place. I&#8217;ve been doing so for about 15 years now, less so in the last bunch of them, mainly because life has a habit of getting in the way. I estimated that in the first SIX years of writing in my journal(s), I had written an <b>AVERAGE of OVER 100,000 WORDS PER YEAR!!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I can, at times, if the mood is just right, go on and on and on forever. Sometimes I write good stuff. Other times I write crap. Sometimes, a lot of times, it is HIGHLY personal stuff, that I really don&#8217;t want anybody reading. If THAT is the case, why bother with an on-line journal system?<\/p>\n<p>Well, my break is over.
