So, we have reached the slow part of the month here at work, and I am bored. And my LiveJournal friends list is not being very entertaining today. *glares at list*
I know a bunch of jatraqueros keep blogs and stuff on their own sites. Any chance any of you have feeds? If so, I can create a syndicated account for them on LiveJournal and thus read them on my friends list.
Most feed types should work. From the LiveJournal FAQs:
quote: When adding a new feed URL, please note that LiveJournal supports most versions of RSS, as long as the code is valid. Officially, the supported versions of RSS are 0.9, 0.91, and 1.0; however, versions 0.92 and 2.0 are based on 0.91, and so most feeds using these versions of RSS will work on LiveJournal.
That's a bit outdated, I think, because I know I've answered a few support requests about Atom feeds.
ALSO! LiveJournal provides feeds for every user, in both RSS and Atom. Here are mine:
Awesome! *adds to friends list*

xnera, you inspired me to get a livejournal, though I wasn't so presumptuous as to put you on my friends list. I can't promise it is very juicy. (edit: I run wild with negatory conjunctions)
We have three computers and it seems I'm always getting kicked off of one, so I really like logging into livejournal. And as anticipated, I can feel like I'm on the internet even though I'm just talking to myself.

It says right in my userinfo that I am welcome to being friended by one and all, so do feel free to friend me.

Yes. This.
I think it's not so much the fact that us introverts are posting for all the world to see, but that there's a distance between us and our audience that's caused by the method of our communication. Instead of talking face to face, for all we know we could be shouting out in an empty room. There's less danger and energy involved, and thus it makes it easier for us to communicate.
I find it interesting that I have no problem posting on my own journal but have problems responding to posts on Hatrack. There's definitely a different mindset involved in the two. My journal is mine: it is me speaking to thoughts, and others responding if they like or choose to. But posting on a forum such as Hatrack, it's very much about a two-way conversation; and worse, it's not one-to-one, but one-to-many, which makes this introvert terrified. Even posting this comment here feels a bit safer and easier than posting on hatrack, because I am directly responding to *you* and not just posting for all the world to see, even though that's actually what's happening. Does that make sense?

Oh, good gravy, xnera, I think you'd love the Atlantic Monthly article, "Caring for Your Introvert: The habits and needs of a little-understood group."
I think I need to staple copies to my forehead sometimes.

Turgan: DUDE, ALREADY DONE!!! Oh, and you're not pathetic for having multiple journals. I have... um, let me think... NINE journals on various sites. Half of those are dormant, or are used only for testing and troubleshooting. But yeah, I like to journal. *grins*
edit: Ooo, thanks, Sara! I am sure I will love the article. I am a flaming INFP.

Fixed link to take you to the complete article.
Do you know whether OperaJournal feeds? I'm venturing out on my own, but I might just end up sending you a link.
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
I just took a peek at Operajournal.com, and it looks like it's based on Moveable Type, which usually does have feeds. I've never used MT myself, but my understanding is that there is some setting in it that you have to turn on to get it to produce the feed. Though it might be defaulted to "on".

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Turgan -- they let you drive to school with a rifle in your trunk?
reading your journal, I think I'm beginning to finally understand why my daughter thinks all high school boys are........well, immature.
FG
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
Has :Locke been around lately? He always struck me as being extremely mature for his age. He was one of the teenage jatraqueros that often made me think I want to have a kid like that someday. Toretha is another. Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
You know, I have enormous difficulty writing in a journal for exactly the reason that some people here seem to find it liberating.
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
I am not at all surprised, Tom. It is very obvious how much you like conversing. Posted by Turgan (Member # 6697) on :
Well, i take it out when i need to go to class. And I'm not even IN highschool. geeze. Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
I just know that there are all those rules about guns on campus (regardless of whether or not they are in trunks)....
FG
Posted by Turgan (Member # 6697) on :
I TAKE IT OUT WHEN I NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!!!
I'm not a crazy psycho tyrant that shoots guns at anything coming my way. Fact is, if I see a mountain lion, I'm gonna stay exactly where i am and call the house with my cell and make my grandfather kill it. I'm scared to death of guns and The only time i ever EVER lay my hands on one is when Grandpa hands it to me or if it's of the paintball type or the lazer tag type.
And do those rules even APPLY at college? I'm sure they do, but it would be really interesting to open up all the trunks here and investigate.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
If you absolutely wish to read my humble thoughts, mostly of things that catch my interest, not of my daily life, you may read them here, on my livejournal.
I update sporadically, and when inspired to.

Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
Heh! It was more that (a) I read fast, (b) work is REALLY SLOW right now, and (c) no one was posting much, and not that anyone was boring.
Posted by Turgan (Member # 6697) on :
I'm plenty o' boring.
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Well, I got this stupid live journal, but now what do I do with it?
Now you say stuff that you wouldn't say on Hatrack.
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Great. Blank journal.
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
Then comment on other people's journals.
Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :
Tom:
I hear you. I've tried and failed to write a journal several times.

Oh, and if anybody wants to put me on their friends list that would be great. I didn't want to add anyone else (I knew PSI knows I'm not a stalker) without them wanting me to.

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
I use Blogger. I used to be pretty free about what I posted, since I didn't expect anyone to actually read it - especially anyone I know in real life. Then I got an email from someone I dated in high school and he reads my blog. I am so inhibited about what I write now.
Which is a pity, because I used my blog as sort of therapy - I used to put my feelings about what was going on and I don't want to do that any more.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I do, by default, write in a journal. I write out long posts to start threads on Hatrack, then copy and save them as a .doc file and don't post the thread because people know me in real life now. *sigh*
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
I'm afraid my journal will fall flat. For some reason I'v enever been able to be totally honest with a journal, for two reasons:
1. I'm painfully aware that I'm putting my own spin on things, and I find it annoying when I'm not perfectly balanced. As you can imagine, I'm often annoyed at myself.
2. Someone might find it and read it.
So, the very fact that it's a *Live* Journal guarantees number two, and number one is unfixable.
I'll see if I can think of a gimmick for mine.
Posted by Turgan (Member # 6697) on :
i fully give any permission to anyone who wants me on their friends list to add me.
am i the only person who doesn't use his lj for feelings? I put down what the hell happened that day with VERY VERY colorful language, then i proceed to post pictures and songs and poems and random crap. HA... it's cuz I'm awesome, i know.
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Heh, yeah. Nothing's more awesome than shock words. : P
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Turgan, and you the guy named John that was in my friends folder? (Almost said "Are you the John..." oops) Just wondering.
I would take the sexy cartoon quiz, but I'm pretty sure I'm Maleficent. Since I think anyone who found any other cartoon lady sexy would have to be a perv.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Or more intelligent. Yeah, shock words really impress us with your extensive vocabulary.... FG

HEY! I WAS YELLING INTO MY JOURNAL FOR MOST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY!!
OKAY, MAYBE ONLY TWICE. BUT STILL!
*ahem*
Thanks for letting me use your vampire kitty - it really helped!
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
You are most welcome! I wish I could claim credit for creating Lilitou, but she actually is from Nocturne_Alley (Remus gave her to Snape, who had always wanted a kitten). I just loved the originating post so much I made an icon for it, and then started using Lilitou as my "grr, argh, BITE ME" icon.
And I am amused that it is all the LiveJournalers who are responding to this thread, since I was specifically asking for feeds from non-LJers. *laughs* But hey, the more people on my friends list, the merrier! And the thread did the trick, anyway -- I got one of the feeds I wanted (Jamie's!) and will be creating an account for it shortly.
edit: And that took about two seconds! It is madowl_feed, for anyone LJer who wants to add it to their friends list.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Barry Manilow's Even Now, Vána? Wow! I haven't heard that song in ages.......
Farmgirl
Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
Yes, Farmgirl, Barry Manilow is one of my guilty pleasures, a hangover from childhood. My mom is a big fan, and I grew up dancing and singing my heart out to his records in my living room. One of my favorite childhood pictures is of me and my brother dancing together to "Break Down the Door" - yes, I do in fact remember exactly what song we were dancing to when Mom took it. For ages and ages, my favorite song in the whole world was "Let's Hang On."
One Saturday, Mom and I even sat down and watched Copacabana together. That is one crappy movie! Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
Did Dan know this when he married you? Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
Yep! He hates "Copacabana" (the song - I've never made him watch the movie), so of course I always turn it way up when it comes on, and sing as loudly as I can manage through the giggling. Posted by Turgan (Member # 6697) on :
YES! That makes me happy.
Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
It does? Why? 'Cause I'm evil?
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
JULES!!! My sistah in living room dancing to Barry Manilow! <3!
We also danced to Shawn Cassidy. Did you, as well?
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
That you've been removed from the pool of potential people he might marry, I suspect.
-Trevor
Posted by Turgan (Member # 6697) on :
I'm already scheduled to be married... The reason is because it sounds just EXACTLY like something I'd do.
Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
xnera - alas, no, we did not have Shawn Cassidy. I did, however, learn how to use the 45 fuction on the record player and then play the theme to Greatest American Hero over and over and over again. Also, I would sometimes play that one Hawaiian Christmas song, just because it's fun.
