Well, you know how it works - lonely, barely employed, and not really making progress on life goals; but a lot of smaller things are going really well for me and that's a blessing. Lots of people have it worse. I'm part-time at both U of Toronto and U of Waterloo, taking Japanese lessons, hoping to get enough time to myself to finish writing a novel for commercial publication later this year.
It's basically a better Livejournal. People who objected to certain things the management of Livejournal did, vowed to create a new similar place they would run themselves where they wouldn't do those things.
That's the global view. The local view is that I'm using my account to reboot what I did with locked entries on Livejournal. The difference this time is that I'm going to be more rigorous in my attempts to really get real responses to the content of my entries: I'll only post entries if I do feel I'm getting real responses, and I'll only let in people I think will participate instead of lurk.

It's... Livejournal... ? So basically this is a 'better' LJ? Without ads, with a few more features, better managed? Anything else different?
