Greetings! After many nudgings and nosings about, I've finally taken the (ow, hey, okay!) advice of friends and acquired a LJ account.

In all honesty, I'm not a big one on journal-writing. We'll see if this changes over the next few months. For reasons that'll I'll expound upon soon, I do need to build up such skills; it'd help with one of the many paths I've got in front of me to choose from right now.

Welcome aboard, then. I'm only partway through this long study -- even though I've a long way to go, it's not too early to start musing upon what I've seen.

Bwahahahah. You have been assimilated. -:)

Seriously, welcome.

In seriousness, not entirely sure what you mean by an LJ accent, since there are many differences as well as commonalities and trends to the uses to which these thousands of journals are put, I think; but yes- welcome aboard, and please have fun. I've only been here two months myself, and I certainly have (and not fun only but substantial intellectual encouragement and stimulation as well... some of which any individual user will need more than another, of course.)

"Account", not "accent". As in, I signed up and got a LiveJournal account instead of remaining an Anonymous User. :)

*ringringring*
(hello?)
(yes, I'm here to answer that ad about clue rental. Do you offer remedial reading comprehension with that? I think I need it.)
(You think?)

Erm, thanks. *blush* Should have caught that, yes...

Yay! Welcome here! I'm proud to be the source of some of those nudgings and nosings. *grin*

It's okay if you never become a prodigal journal-writer -- having a LiveJournal account is a great thing for posting a quick announcement about something going on at your house, or putting up a quick happy-birthday note (LJ even reminds you when it's the birthday of someone on your friends list), or even just so you can post to other peoples' journals non-anonymously and get automatically emailed when they reply to your comments.

It's a handy thing, more than anything else. And who knows... maybe one day this *will* reawaken the writer side of you. :-)

Hi and props and yay! from another "nudger." (Delicately examining the sharp tips of her claws...)

And foxy, I think you wanted "prodigious" rather than "prodigal."

Sorry. I know that's a pet peeve of a lot of people, getting corrections, but they gave me this piece of paper saying I knew English, and I keep feeling it should be good for something...

[foxmagic.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the correction! :-) But are you sure I used the wrong word?

The American Heritage Dictionary says that 'prodigal' means 'rashly or wastefully extravagant' or 'giving or given in abundance.' It says that 'prodigious' means 'impressively great in size, force, or extent; enormous' or 'extraordinary, marvelous.'

I think I meant to use a word which conveys a sense of someone who writes journal entries often and at length. So the journal entries would be prodigious, but the one who writes them would be prodigal?

[scyllacat.livejournal.com]

Wow. You know, I never thought of it that way.

Cool. I learned something new. Thanks.

But I still don't think Tug's "prodigal." I always find myself wanting to read more... :)

[foxmagic.livejournal.com]

I agree! Thank you for helping me nudge him here!

And also thank you for making me think! :-)

Heyas Tug!

I'm not much of a journal writer myself but I've noticed that I keep adding stuff to my journal more and more often lately. I think it helps that I nabbed the offline composer that has set a little pencil icon in my taskbar. It just sits there...begging me to use it... Eeee! So I write more often. :D
