Look at me, I'm dancing crazy!

Today I finally managed to delete my Facebook account. I felt very lost and uncomfortable there, mainly because I never figured out how to keep up with everyone or check a timeline properly. I could mention the privacy issue* and the annoying habit of FB-buttons popping up everywhere, but to be fair it was mostly my personal lack of control over the lay-out that made me avoid the place. Besides that I had so much trouble following people and I never really connected to anyone, except occasionally with people I already communicate with on other social networks. Even then it felt like more fleeting contact than really talking. One reason I stayed longer than I really wanted was that it's the one place my SIL regularly posts photos of my nephew, so I now have an excuse to visit more in real life;)

I still have plenty of online hang outs, although I am considering cutting down, here's a list of all the places you can find me. (I'm BeeLikeJ everywhere:)


Personal blogs and journals
Livejournal - tadaah, you are here!
My Dutch Blog - daily updates of real life
Photoblog (travel)picspams with English commentary
Tumblr - mostly for lurking and liking:)
Twitter - mainly for keeping an eye on Stephen Fry (and other awesome people;)

Hobby blogs:
Filmblog - moviereviews in Dutch
Library blog - reviews of books and fanfic in English
Pottermore - I'm PhoenixNight165 and am waiting for the Chamber of Secrets to open.
Design blog - my artwork archive (not updated in a while, oops)
YouTube - random personal vids
NicknGreg LJ community - (I'm one of the mods)
NicknGreg YT - CSI Nick/Greg fanvids (I'm the maintainer/mod)
My LJ book community - plan to update soon *looks at bookpile*

Registered user, but barely there:
Hyves - a Dutch social network CLOSED MAY 1, 2012
MySpace CLOSED MAY 1, 2012
Insane journal
Dreamwidth
Ok Cupid - What? For the QUIZZES. [On hiatus APRIL, 2012]
Deviant Art

I also have a sockpuppet LJ and a pornTumblr, but those are for personal use only;)


Pfff, I think that's all of them. Feel free to follow me anywhere. I have the same policy for friending back everywhere: I like to keep my dashboard/friendlist/circle/whatever managable, so I don't just collect people to get a high score. Most importantly: these places are my comfort zones, which means I avoid blogs and journals that make me feel awkward. This includes, but is not limited to: an overload of cutesy petpictures or 'revealing' photos of celebs I care not enough or too much about and stuff I have personal issues with, such as a couple of mundane human trades that I'm not even mentioning here for fear of losing my calm.
What I'm trying to explain is that my (lack of) response isn't necessarily a reflection of our actual relationship status or my opinion of you *g*

How many digital hang-outs do you have?

*Obviously I don't mind sharing my personal life :-p

P.S. Thank you, sillie82 for the dragon!

Heh, I'm surprised you follow me anywhere seeing the amount of bullshit I say and the cutesy animal pics ;)

Seriously, I constantly want to unfollow you and your cutesy animal pictures. So gross :p.

Well, this is where your lack of updating saves you;) But don't think I didn't notice the "cute" on my Tumblr dashboard. *glares* I learned from experience to not click on your twitpics :-p
