It seems as if it was one of the "not around at all" phases after all. I apologize for my absence during the last week, I had to...digest---my exams before I was able to speak to anyone. But today I was productive and did lots of real life stuff, some of it even in the garden with my trusted old laptop, so I feel confident that I am able to post. And maybe even answer comments. Because it's not that I didn't try posting, oh no. You missed the great HP rant, and the "LJ has lost its purpose for me" whining, and the fabulous Mosquito Mystery Matter. All posts that were typed and then deleted, because they didn't seem worth posting at the end.
But now I'm back, productive, rejuvenated (I was trying to find a reason to use that mood for years) and I have, uhm, nothing much to say. Go figure.
What did I do during the last week?
Well, I lay in the sun a lot. I walked the dog. I spend the entire Saturday in silence, because I had lost my voice during a party on Thursday (Friday killed it dead.) I read a lot of SG1 fic and am writing up recs, which I can't post before I have posted the vid recs I have been working on for ages. Those I can't post because they are not done yet and apparently I can't get myself to finish them. But! Productiveness! I shall finish the vid recs tomorrow.Or the day after tomorrow.
What else is there?
Well, there are the LJ statistics. You might remember that LJ-dom was in a bit of a flurry a few weeks ago, because our LJ-masters had told us that we were all teenagers who should want a more teenage-friendly lj. When LJ-dom protested, they asked us to fill in our user info so the age statistics would be more accurate. I, having nothing better to do in my exam preparation, wrote down the numbers for you, and now I can announce that the ljers who were 18 and 19 have only slightly increased, with the 19 year old now being the biggest group of ljers. Years 20 to 26 however seem to have grown an average of tenthousand. Still considerably less than the 18 and 19ers, but they are there. 27+ didn't grow as much, and I only wrote down the numbers until 30.
This can lead us to the following conclusions:
- many many people had their 19th birthday during the last few weeks, that's why there are more 19ers now.
- people between 18 and 19 don't care about lj politics, so they didn't fill out there user info when lj asked
- people between 18 and 19 are not the largest group represented on lj, but they are the largest group with filled out user info. That's why those groups didn't grow as much as the other ones.
- Unless you find 400000 people who are willing to claim that they are 40+ in their user info, lj won't care anyway.
That's it from me, more exciting news here on this LJ, if and when my productiveness lasts and something happens that I can write about. Which will surely not be last Sunday's boring Dead Zone episode.
