it is 10 am and I have not been on Tumblr even once

[girlbookwrm]

Things that I do when not infiniscrolling through the hellsite:

• Work on my mom's Christmas present (I'm defacing a copy of the Silmarillion for her amusement)
• hang out on Dreamwidth like a lot
• noodle at the Steve VS the Guggenheim idea (boogiewoogiebuglegal  yoU AND ICEWHISPER ARE REAL BASTARDS YOU KNOW THAT??)

so I think I maybe actually like being free of the blue purgatory? I want to try and spend less time on Tumblr, going forward. I don't think there's any website that quite matches it for social media experience -- it suited me really well, I adapted to it very quickly and I've gotten endless hours of amusement from it, BUT.

it was the vibrancy of the community I found there that worked for me. That community can be built -- or rebuilt -- anywhere.

SO HAPPY :D :D :D

Also, how on earth did you get my user name to show up in your post? That looks like a tag (is it???) and as an absolute DW novice, I wish to learn your skillz.

SADLY it is not a true tag, but it does link back to your blog, even if I don't think it acts like a Tumblr @

When you're posting, in the rich text format there's a little grey guy/link button, next to the image button. I typed in your name, then highlighted it and clicked the little grey guy and voila! A link to your blog.

There's probably html to do it too, but I'm not quite there yet
