Personally, I really dislike LJ. No way to really participate in the community. To me, I just moved into this apartment building, like in Tales of the City, because I fell in love with this awesome city, wanted to be part of this awesome community. I know a little about my neighbors, and they all seem like people I'd love to get to know, but everyone's busy with the electricity and work and dance contests at The EndUp, and I'm kind of busy too. And this building isn't set for parties, there are no tenant meetings, no activist groups, no comfortable way to get to know any of the people I moved here to get to know, or to participate in any building functions. Mostly, it's about awkwardly going door to door, introducing myself. Which is not for the faint of heart. I miss Cleveland :)
