From small beginnings do great things grow
Well, I'm here. My friend Fire Ceremony has recommended this place several times, so I finally got off my duff and made a journal of my own. I used to keep a journal in RL until my husband (then my boyfriend) got ahold of it and read some things he shouldn't have. It was not a pretty fallout, and ever since, journals have meant trouble.
In any case, several of my friends from the Realm are hanging out here until the dawn of SR2, and it seems a shame to let friendships lapse until a bunch of programmers get it in gear.
My journal begins in a very mundane way; I'm slacking off again since my boss-man won't be back until Friday. I have to talk to him about where my Ph.D. is going, which I'm dreading, so Friday won't be too much fun. There is also the matter of a talk for Bristol-Myers Squibb to be arranged. He's going to be cranky when he gets back because some of the information I gave him is inconsistent - oh boy.
At least the weekend will be partially entertaining. We have to drive back to PA to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday, and that afternoon we will visit with friends for lunch. It's always taxing for me to visit these friends because they have two small children, and I am ill at ease with young ones. How children could be in my future, I will never know. Sunday, as just about everyone in the USA knows, is Super Bowl Sunday. My favorite team is headed to the Big Game, and I am very excited.
I think that's enough for now. I hope that some of my listed friends will list me as well!

Welcome to Livejournal ! :) :)
Nice to see you here.
The tone is different when people write in journals.
It is possible to make private entries to the journal, by regulating the security option on the "write entry" page, and it is possible to set security level such that only the people you list as your friends can read the journal.
Most people have the problem you mentioned, that a journal may be too private for others to read, even a web journal like this. Maybe there is a balance to be struck between being too open and being too secret about what you write here. People seem to use the journals in many different ways, like scrap books or place to post short stories or art, not just the everyday events of life. If you look around at the other users who have the same interests defined as you, you'll probably see a lot of different journals.
There is no getting away from the teeny bopper crowd in here either, lots of journals are only about teachers and chewing gum and NSync. Thus, it may be up to the rest of us to keep the teeny bopper level as low as possible here. :)
The new entry page takes html, so you can post direct links to images and URLs in the journal. Links are only automatically made when using te Windows client (I think). I only use the web page as I don't want to dl a client.
Here's how to make a link to a URL:
(a href="http://www.nosgoth.net")Click here to go to Nosgoth(/a)
And to post an image in the journal (the image must be posted somewhere else on the web):
(img src="http://www.image.jpg")
Exchange all () with <>
To center images onto the page, put (center) before the image URL and (/center) after the URL.
I forgot to do that on my image of the zebrafish, so you can see how that turns out. :)
Good luck !
Sorry to hear about the expected discontent of the boss man. I know the feeling. Any way you can correct the info without him becoming too unhapoy about it ?
I agree with you on the issue of children. I guess it's different once you get your own.
Does the weekend visits mean we won't see you at the Friday night chat ?
On my list!

*wild applause*
j/k. My husband is going to Orlando from Thurs. to Fri., and his plane does not arrive at Newark until 10:15 PM. It will take him at least 1/2 hour to get home, so I have time for a nice, long, uninterrupted chat.

Re: On my list!
Cool ! I'll see you then.
I most probably have to nap after coming from work earlier that evening, but I'm getting used to get up in the middle of the night.
I'll be in about 8 pm EST.
It's me, baron
