i think lj can be either monologue-like OR conversation-like. it depends on what people want to make it. the other thing to keep in mind about lj-ing is that people have less questions to ask when they've been reading your lj. for example, during your last trip to UZ, i read your lj religiously because it made me feel like i was experiencing things with you. i may not have commented or conversed with you about it as much, but it was extremely important to me. many things were right there in front of my eyes and i valued that. it's been a lot harder for me to keep up with lj as much as i'd like lately because i have so much to do in terms of planning for my students. but, i would certainly feel a void if your journal were to disappear.

"does anyone read this?" -- yes.

much heart,
