Broken down * grrr
*grr of course it didn’t save right….
I’m still not going leaving here, but I’m feeling a strong urge to multi task.
It’s the charisma of the creator and the stability of the foundation. I appreciate that. I want to support that.
I’ll keep my empty castle. I’ll still be here.
I’ll cross post most things, but I have a feeling if OD doesn’t want to load, I’ll just say forget about it and only post in one place until the damn things decides to work.
I will come and read and note just as I always do.
but you can find me, if you do wander, under chaoticdream715
I reserved Chaosbride, but I dont’ think I’ll be writing in it, or at least not publically. It just doesn’t feel right to use that name anywhere else. I never have and I just don’t think I ever will.
I just got so upset yesterday when every time I tried to do something it errored. And the exception to that rule was a page loading, after several long minutes, and not knowing if I’d be able to note, or look at anything else afterwards.
That’s just frustrating.
I got hopeful… the whole "message from the diary master" made me hope. Why couldn’t he post in his diary? I don’t know. It probably wasn’t really a message from "him" anyway.
Regardless, it made me hope. the talks of maintenance and such.
But what did it do?
It made things work okay for a few days, then back to broken normal.
I guess I feel like I deserve more.
and the person behind the other place is so … well… present. It is refreshing. Like drinking cool water instead of hot water.
Unless you like hot water.
ew.
So yeah. I’m over there. call me a traitor if you like.
lol
but i’m still here.
I’m a lifer fo sho.
but it’s sorta like having that old beat up jalopy that you had since you learned how to drive. It’s comfortable and you know how it works and every nook and cranny holds meaning. It doesn’t run all the time and you’re constantly throwing money at it and it just stays broken, but you LOVE THE DAMN THING. You made your babies in it, you birthed your babies in it. You cried in it. You laughed in it. You got sick in it. It was THE PLACE. Your old trusty reliable. You met all of your best friends in it. You met your husband in it. It’s not pretty anymore and it stinks, but it is still so very important.
But then you won a contest, and there is a shiny new model. It’s got gps and bells and whistles and every time you turn around there’s a new button or switch that makes it do something cool. It talks to you like the Knight Rider car and has smooth lines and smells good. But it’s weird there and every time you sit in the plush leather seats you cringe because they don’t have that stain from the one time you were eating that chili cheese burger or that broken knob you slammed off in anger or the crack in the windshield from when the baby threw a rattle at it. I mean, it’s sterile and clean and sparkly and you LOVE it, that new car smell… but something always calls you back to the jalopy.
and maybe you park the jalopy, put one of those cool covers on top to keep the dust and rats out. You go out and sit in it, rub on the peeling plastic, inhale the stench of time, cuddle up in the back seat and store things in the trunk.
But when it comes down to it, you head out in the new model.
and you are fine with that.
you can have your cake and eat it too.
AND WHY AM I WRITING IN THAT TENSE.
god that annoyed me.
just like trying to save this entry probably will.
i love you people.
i love you OD.
I’m still me.
I’m just driving a new model while I cherish my jalopy.
jalopy is a funny word huh.

Second person POV is under-rated in my opinion. I dug it. I’m almost there myself. I don’t want to be, but I am. 🙁

It took me forever to even be able to read this, the site kept erroring out on me. I can’t even tell you how irritating this is, especially when he had the site down or running half assed for a couple of days while he did maintenance. It should work better now. We shouldn’t have to experience lag all the time. The site doesn’t even have the traffic to justify the lag, and most sites are able to accommodate large numbers of people anyway *sigh* I’ll go add you over there. I’m sad to even contemplate writing elsewhere, but I imagine that things are only going to get worse here.

I’m glad I found you over there. I’m so frustrated with this site. I never thought about leaving until PB came along and I found out it was created by an OD person. Its the only place that is remotely like OD. Not the same, but similar.

It really is running a lot better now, there’s an update on the front page that more work was done last night and I couldn’t even access my bookmarks then… now all seems well…. but for how long, ya know?

I’m not sure you listed where you’re gonna be writing besides here but thanks for the name I was wanting to know about that. A lot of people are writing about doing that now. I’ll always be an Open Diary member but the thoughts in your mind are normal to think about. I want this website to get over it’s deal too. I hope they do something about it soon. But the problems are very annoying I agree
