Several of you have recently said that you'd like to keep up with me, but may not share views or interests about which I am very vocal here.

Because I would rather keep up with you than drop out of contact with you, I have set up a new journal this morning solely for personal updates and events:
sabrinaqedesha.

I haven't set up the format or user icons yet. Will do that later...

If you use two journals, this journal is (I fear) going to get too dry & abstract, therefore boring. The other journal, delaing with just your personal life, will (I fear) be superficial, therefore boring.

So I strongly urge for you to keep all in a single journal. Put the more technical topics behind LJ cuts so those who want to skip them can do so easily. Or not. To be honest with you, I have no idea why you would pander to those who do not have an interest in all of you. They sure seem superficial & worthless to me.

Actually, that was the reason I hesitated doing something like this for so long.

But I don't see any reason why I can't separate my posts between two journals and have it work seamlessly.

And I had another thought. I feel strongly that participation in my life to any extent should be entirely voluntary -- IOW I am not going to demand that people be interested in every aspect of my intellectual life in order to be my friend or associate.

I'll give it a few weeks, and we'll see if either journal becomes shallow or dry; in which case I'll re-assess this solution.

hehe -- I skip over posts I find boring all the time in many of the journals on my friends list. But I do like being readily exposed to aspects of people I would not normally look at. I find I am far more open to an idea if find boring or squicky if that idea comes from someone I otherwise find interesting & whom I respect. I do not believe *forcing* anyone to real all my writings, but I do want to expose them to all facets of me.

Yup, that's the way I see it too.
