Watch this space, I guess!

Well, in this post, our teddyradiator issued a Something Every Day challenge for the month of May, in order to kick our flist in the collective rear end and get us back in the habit of writing (and commenting) on LJ. Something about the idea is really appealing to me this time around, so I'm on board. I will write a post every day (heaven help you), and further, will commit to commenting on other people's posts to let them know when I read and enjoyed them.

Everyone's flist is different: yours might be thriving right now, but mine seems unusually quiet. I'll do my part to keep the collective conversation going during May. My LJ calendar says I only post once or twice a month right now! Why, why? So who knows--maybe I'll stick with the habit and post more frequently afterward. I once committed to going vegetarian for 30 days--now I rarely eat meat and things are going pretty well. Another time, I committed to learning the rules of baseball for 30 days, and now I love to watch. My family gave me all SF Giants gear for my birthday, even earrings!

Life can really change/improve/get wonderfully tacky in the space of 30 days, don't you think?

Yup and they say it usually takes about three weeks for something to become a habit so maybe a solid month of posting will bring some people around to being regulars again. :)

That's what they say ... We'll see!

Woot! Looking forward in particular to any vegetarian recipes you'd like to share! :9

Great! I have loads of them to share.

We're not vegetarian, but we do Meatless Monday. I'd love to try some new dishes!

Maybe with LJ we feel greater obligation to put some thought and effort into our posts, since whole sentences and proper spelling still seem to be the norm here. I'll be posting here on LJ too, and commenting more. Hell, I don't have any other social media I post to, so I might as well post here and more often.

My flist is quite quiet, too. I think we are all busy chasing deadlines, smoochfest is due tomorrow. At least, that's my lame excuse. Writing my own fic and thoroughly alpha-reading another two eats up all the time I reserve for fandom.

Sounds like a good plan to post and comment and liven up things around here.

I'm as guilty as anyone for simply lurking and not commenting. But as I mentioned last night in one of Teddy's posts, it's that whole "post--->comment--->respond" thing that needs to happen in order for LJ to keep moving along.

And the conversation here on LJ is so much nicer than on fb.

I'm really excited - I think we're going to see a lot of fun stuff this May.

It most certainly can! :-)

"Life can really change/improve/get wonderfully tacky in the space of 30 days, don't you think?"

Morgan Spurlock certainly thought so. He had a show on TV called Thirty Days, where he would change some aspect of his life for that period of time. He also used this format in his documentary "Super-size Me", where he ate all his meals at McDonald's for a month, and whenever they asked him if he wanted it super-sized, he would say yes. Turns out that he had to abandon the project before the thirty days were up, though. He became so fat and his health declined so precipitously, that he was in danger of dying if he had stayed with it.
