It's not for everyone, sure. I find it's a way to channel my stream of consciousness babble so that it feels like someone is listening--even if there's no response--while in theory saving more interesting extended things for my livejournal.

It's mostly making me realize that I don't have a lot to post on LJ except my stream of consciousness "Today was like every other day" babble. But that just means I need to get better at coming up with interesting things to talk about.
