I got a tumblr...

[beccatoria]

Against my better judgement I got a tumblr. I don't really plan to use it much except to keep up with pictures of kittens and amusing macros. I'm not graphically inclined enough that I imagine it'll turn into my primary place to err, create stuff, and it seems like it's not a good place for any kind of discussion. So mostly I figure I'll be reblogging stuff (though I'm not sure if I'll take to that) and possibly mirroring (some of) my vids there.

However, I am there now - same name as always - same name as this LJ - so if you are there too, let me know so's I can stalk you in case YOU post amusing pictures of kittens.

Also, happy winter! I have eaten far too much sugar and am currently feeling sick and rendering the fifty-seventh draft of a vid. So, pretty much a normal Monday night for me. ;)

Oh dear, it got you too! I've vanished into the land of reblogs too and to think before I joined I was so full of disdain over this newfangled reblog thing but now I can't leave!

Er, which is to say, welcome to Tumblr!

WOO. *stalks*

Heh. Been lurking around tumblr for a year now,

mostly for Thom Yorke perving purposes, but I don't think I'll ever join. No space in my life for another social network, not even such a limited one, I think.

Has your tumblr experience and usage changed since you made this post?

Honestly, it hasn't changed at all. I do somewhat enjoy looking at my dashboard to see pretty stuff go by, but I reblog rarely if at all; I always have this feeling that I don't want to make my tumblr a mash of anything I've ever found remotely interesting. I experimented with using it for micro comic reviews - something I'd like to do more of but have been too tired after starting work. Mostly if I post anything substantial to it, I mirror it here, and often it's a bit longer here since I don't know how to cut away on tumblr (though I know you can), it doesn't feel appropriate for longer content and it's a terrible platform for discussion even though I feel there are more people out there who would WANT to discuss certain things, if I knew how to find them, which I sort of don't. I don't see how you could ever get to KNOW anyone in that place.

So...it's okay? I guess I kind of like occasionally shouting stuff into the void?

I DO think it's slightly responsible for there being less content here, same as twitter ends up sucking up stuff I might otherwise have saved for a "so my life is like this right now..." post, but...honestly? It's...just not the same. It's a different place and I haven't gotten the REBLOG EVERYTHING bug most others have.

I sort of like the ability to favourite things, so I could go back and look at some awesome stuff I found, but I haven't actually done that yet. Gone back and looked, I mean. So.

Meh. Despite the fact I do somewhat religiously refresh my dashboard. So who the hell knows.
