I'm not a fan of social-networking sites. I don't have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Multiply, deviantart, and the only reason I opened a friendster account eons ago was to cyber-stalk my crushie (not effective).
Why don't I have such accounts? 1) Because I have nothing to put in them. I have no life. I am a NEET, almost a hikikomori. 2) Do i really need to be bombarded with 10,000 newsfeeds a day? I love my friends, and I would love to know how they're doing, but do I really need to know what you had for lunch? or read pa-profound status messages? 3) I'm too lazy. I don't plan to go on-line everyday to update or to check what's up with the world. 4) My dad has facebook. Of course i would have to add him. and if I do, I won't be able to rant about stuff I really want to rant about. And I love my dad and all, but I don't really want to read his posts. May contain embarrassing stuff.
So why in the world did I open a livejournal account? Because I am bored. This is my attempt to have a life. And since I am the only one in this house who is an Arashi fangirl, anime and manga otaku, and Filipino komiks fan, I don't have anyone to talk to, to fangirl with, nobody who would understand why I would suddenly squeal in the middle of watching a japanese show. So I hope I can find people to fangirl (or fanboy) with.
Oh, and I also need to polish my writing skills. I plan to go to grad school, so I need to write in a way that is clear, concise, and gets the point across. I hope I am making sense.
