jedi_bunny got one and I found out about the community, I'm sometimes tempted to submit this thing to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ljreview. However, after reading some of the reviews there, I don't think it would do very well. I don't hide every quiz I take behind a lj-cut tag (they seem be somewhat miffed if you take them at all), I haven't customized anything (having only taken one beginner HTML course), and I have comments open to anyone (i.e. nonLJ members can post). I'm not sure why this is a negative - I have several friends who either have a journal or blog somewhere else, or are not interested in keeping one, but want to keep up with me. I recently gave a link to it to my 78-year old aunt because I'm terrible about calling her. And I'm not sure my grammar is the greatest. I know when I get reports back at work, sometimes they look like the first twenty minutes of "Saving Private Ryan." You've probably noticed that I like to use a lot of parentheses. This will probably bug someone, but it's how my brain works.
I originally started this for myself, maybe to embarass my kids in the future, or to remember things I would otherwise forget; I certainly never really expected people to actually read this and (amazing to me) be interested in what I have to say. The feedback I get sometimes is a lot of why I have kept doing it - not that I'm asking for any (just like training a dog - the randomly given reward works the best), Asking for a review, though means I expect people to read this and I am writing for them. Which I have kind of started to do anyway, but I still feel that I mainly do this for myself, don't I?
Hmmm. And so I vacillate. I'm not sure I'm brave enough.
It is, however, a great place to find journals of other interesting people.
