OD? Coming Back? Amusing. in Random Public Stuffs

I have been reading about how everyone is trembling like a chihuahua at the thought of OD coming back. Don’t get me wrong, that place is how I found many people that I love and have visited.

But this…this reminds me of the chick that has become so dependent on her abuser in a relationship, they complain about anything else, regardless of what it is. They make excuses.

”People don’t note me as much.”
”We don’t have Reader’s Choice.” {For attention.}
”There is no sense of community.”
”I miss being able to customize my diary.”
*”I hate PB.”

I understand that people have their reasons and such…but a majority of it is for attention. Not being able to move on…that is really sad. Many people were big fish in a little pond and many people like that. As for myself, I had many followers and such, but I was never one of the popular bloggers and that was fine. Here, I have less followers and it seems more intimate somehow. But, I suppose that is because I have long since moved on, and quite enjoy my little niche here.

I don’t have to worry about being banned from my diary if I write something risque or political. Yes, I was in OD jail a few times. Hasn’t happened here. I don’t have to worry about people being chickenshit and commenting on my entries because they have to leave a name. While I know they can leave the comment then delete it, I am generally on because people update frequently. So, I will catch a comment before it’s “Deleted User”. But, that doesn’t really bother me, because if they have to go through the trouble of creating an account to leave a message then run like a bitch, I know they’re cowardly. {SHRUGS}

I also don’t have to worry about paying for this place. My budget is tight as it is right now. I will not spend whatever on a frivolous thing like an online diary.

As far as “community” goes, I’m not one to follow trends, which right now, is being an “introvert” full of “anxiety”. I don’t doubt there are people with mental illnesses who are trying…barely. But it’s the norm these days to see people say, ”If you call, I’m not answering, so just text.” {Rolls eyes so hard they roll across the highway down the way.}

I am not afraid to read the random front pagers, note, and read a bit about them before deciding to keep following or not.

I will say this…many people here are very similar and follow a routine. This place has a huge Pity Me Club and following and it’s actually quite humorous to read about. I know I wrote about it in a previous entry. Everyone in that group tends to try to “one-up” each other…they seem to compete for Pity Me Queen Bee status. {Laughs} I get bad days, but when it seems like an every day thing? Enough is enough.

Overall, I love this place. I write because I want to write. I read when I want to read, whomever bares their soul publicly, and I applaud them for it.

Good luck to those who return to OD.
