...friends leaving livejournal...
Well, for whatever reason, looks like one of my friends pulled his livejournal. I caught a glimpse of a rather grouchy last post last night...
...yeah, it's a timesuck. I agree wholeheartedly on that. But it's also good for venting. I wouldn't have IM'ed him with a general cheer-up theme last night if I hadn't read the journal... ...and I think I got him to giggle a bit when I mentioned my lousy and unstable internet connection from home.
...it really *really* sucks to be spending some time alone (door locked, window shut, blinds down, all other messenger programs either turned OFF or turned to Excessively Busy Disturb At Risk Of Loss Of Life And/Or Limb) with a very good friend ... to have, at the *worst* possible moment, the connection lost. In reaction to this, my other two least stable programs completely went blooey, requiring at least three minutes (often more) to shut them down and create error logs... by which time the mood is completely DEAD and must be painstakingly re-created. ...and of course as soon as things are happening again, either the smoke detector will go off, the connection will crash, my sister will urgently need the phone (or just need the phone clear) or ... well, you get the idea.
Sometimes, it's as if the gods just don't want a romance happening there.
Maybe I should take a clue.
But in any case, I'm sorry to see my friend leaving. I liked reading about what was going on in his life.
