Full force Tumblr Pledge!

I've seen this from both [livejournal.com profile] katayla and [livejournal.com profile] torigates and wanted to share: TUMBLR PLEDGE

The short story is; most of my LJ people, including me, are now spending more time on Tumblr instead of LJ and it makes us sad. Tumblr is practical and requires less effort to follow/contribute, but it doesn't have the human touch like LJ. Followers don't necessarily mean "friends" and I agree. Although I have couple of people I really love on Tumblr, I have very little "friends" on there. And most of those loved ones are already my friends on LJ, so no point to Tumblr on that base, really :))

Yes, I am pledging to spend more time on LJ from now on. Maybe even update everyday! Tumblr is still a lot fun and visually attractive, but LJ is my diary.

ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE; I'm really excited about this week's How I Met Your Mother! I've heard so many good things about it (non-spoilery of course) and I can't wait to see it.

I'm still studying for my certificate exam. It's tomorrow at 2pm, I still have time to completely memorize 157 questions answers. Questions will be identical so I'm focusing on the right answer and relying on my adequate photographic memory. 90 questions and I need to do 75% to pass. I can do it. I hope...

DUDE. I've already given up Tumblr the second i got this job. It was my "without a job days activity". it makes you feel that you're sharing your life and emotions but it doesn't.

and yay welcome back to lj! *hugs*

wheee :D

I won't give up on Tumblr though. It's just so pretty and my office hours can get boring so easily.

:X:X

I understand your position, I just don't have *time* for that, which you can get. As long as you don't ditch here, we're good.

LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DOIN' ANYWAY. I'm doing this for your other friends.

Yay! :D

And good luck on your exam!

Thanks! I need that!

Best of luck for your exam tomorrow!

Haha LJ is probably the only social networking site I use. I don't have FB or Tumblr or Twitter or anything like that..

Thank you! :D

LOL! You are the most innocent social networker I've ever known! Kudos! I have them all, but I like LJ the most.

IKR! Totally abnormal for a teenage 15 year old since ALL my friends have FB and/or Twitter. *rolls eyes* Tumblr isn't really common in Australia though but I'd rather get that than anything else. I like LJ because it's a diary, an open forum, a place to make new friends, and a mine for information for news on celebs/TV shows. :D

Good luck with your exam! I'm sure you'll be great :D
