I've updated my blog.

This one.

Anything worthy of posting, I'll be posting there from now on. Posts here will appear but rarely. I realize this will be inconvenient for some (all?) of my LJ-hound friends, but as I've mentioned before, I am not particularly enamored of the social dynamic potentially (!) created by LiveJournal. I don't like that friends-lists cannot be hidden, and that it's potentially hurtful to someone if I don't list them as "friend". I don't like worrying over whether to lock my posts, and wanting to create a different custom group for every locked post I do make. If there's private info I want to share, I'll share it individually. I like hosting my blog on my own (host's) server space. Et cetera.

I know there's a way to cross-post private bloggage to LJ, but don't really have time to figure it out. I think there's a way to make it an RSS feed, but again won't bother with that. If you'd like to read what I post on there, please bookmark it. If not, I promise to not be offended.

(Note: this is not an "I hate LiveJournal" post. I actually quite like it. I just want to have my own thing. And possibly cut down on feeling obligated to read my "friends" page.)

Sigh. If I don't respond to you, I'll be ignoring you. If I do, I'm having the last word and am stubborn and inflexible.

Oh wait, I'm stubborn and inflexible anyway!

You seem to be departing from a crucial, and incorrect, premise: that I have cared who actually, actively, has been reading my journal, in the first place.

Yeah, I'm making it inconvenient for you. If you still read what I say, great. If you don't, fine. Really. If you want to be reading what I write, then you will, and you won't whine about it. If you get sufficiently annoyed with this exchange or with the inconvenience or both, you won't read it, and that is fine too.

I knew I should've disabled comments on this. This is Not About You. It's about me, and what's most convenient for me.

If I find an easy way to make an RSS feed into this, great. If not, tough cookies. With a prelim not a month and a half away, I'm prioritizing this Low.

I don't consider you stubborn and inflexible, and I'm sorry if you took my offer to give you the last word the wrong way--my intent was to avoid things like "I can't believe this is still going on" or "I should've disabled comments on this" by making clear that it ended here.

Then you don't know her very well. Stubbornness and inflexibility are Veek hallmarks. ;) (Well maybe not inflexibility in all things, but she's very stubborn and she celebrates it.) :) I don't understand why you felt the need to comment so vociferously just because she is moving her blog. I mean everything you said is fine, but is it really that big of a deal?)

I have nothing to add other than, very far after the fact, it is now I who have the last word in this thread! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
