Dissolution

Is anyone else trying to re-figure out how to have an online life? Is anyone else feeling that Google+ is cool but how many more social networks do I need? Does anyone else wonder if there's still a place for a journaling site like Dreamwidth and LiveJournal in their life?

I'm finding G+ very homey--more succinct than here, not quite as flighty as Twitter. Less conversational than here, but more interactive than Tumblr. It feels like a comfortable stream of connection.

Of course, it's new. Not many people are on it yet. Everyone's behaving like early guests at a nice party, so it's also much less contentious than here tends to be sometimes. (I have invites, by the way, if anyone wants one.)

Journaling/blogging has been a mostly wonderful experience for me for the past six years or so, but I feel it slipping away as a concept. I hate to let it go, but fighting the flow seems futile. Does anyone else feel that way?

Yup. Do not take away my dpns! :D

Mojo is thriving, and is no longer blind. She has some issues, but is currently a young adult cat experiencing being in heat, and her human family and vet are trying to work with that, while not exacerbating her neuro issues.

You will also fall in love with Mr. Darcy, the Maine Coon kitten, who lives in London, and who is the most accident-prone kitty on the planet. Not to mention Mau, the giant monster cat, and a whole kitty herd of found and rescued kitties. It's a fabulous thread, and Mojo's mommy is wonderful and can tell a great story. Darcy's mom is someone I'd love to meet, as well.

There are pictures a-plenty there, and I'm always going "AWWWW!" out loud at work. My office mates and my human family know all about Mojo and Darcy, and will ask how they're doing. :D
