I set up a Dreamwidth account today, but I haven't done anything with it and am too befuddled with Swine Flu Loss of Sleep to even remember how to get back to it.

I think it's probably a really great alternative for people like you, who have a separate fannish and non-fannish journal, since Dreamwidth seems to be aiming to be The Fandom Place. But for people like me, who got lj for fannish purposes but branched out and now have fandom friends, fandom friends with whom I talk about more than fandom, fandom friends who became rl friends, rl friends who it turns out have ljs, relatives and miscellaneous hangers on on one friends list, it's less appealing. Plus I bought a lifetime account or whatever they call it on LJ and I want to live a long time! But I don't want all of fandom to go to DW and leave me all alone...

So I don't know what I'm doing. Sorry for blathering on.
