I have that aching feeling again that I’m ready to delete everything and start all over. New domain, if at all, etc. I miss Diary-X a lot. I emailed Stephen Deken to let him know just how much I missed it. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be deleting a lot of pictures from my flickr today. I’ll still do the 365 project, but I’ll be keeping the images on my computer and uploading the ones I like. I feel like mediocre crap is cluttering my stream. And it is. I don’t like that.
Why does this aching happen? Does anyone else have it? What about those people that have had the same site and username and stuff for FIVE years? I don’t know if I could handle that. I’ve had my lj since Diary-X went down and that was… January 06? (But I’ve used a rename token once.) I still have my Diaryland from 01-04. I want to delete any trace of me off the face of the net and then just resurface somewhere else. Does anyone else get this way?
It’s annoying.
I feel like I should document everytime I feel like this because I know it happens in cycles.
um…constantly. i’ve had my lj since 2003, i think, and it’s the only thing i haven’t sacrificed to those whims. i haven’t been on flickr that long, about a year, but everything else has been deleted over the years. sometimes i do want to leave behind all the previous chapters of my life and start a new lj (instead of abandon it completely, because writing is important to me to understand myself) but i’ve avoided this because i can accomplish a similar thing by just making private entries of years past and because being cohesive and unified and all that helps me feel a little more sane.
