Yeah, I hear you on the migration. I ended up on LJ by default- because for a really long time everyone I wanted to keep in touch with was here! And then I had a few people who were only on facebook, and then half my friends page migrated to elsewhere, and now it seems like everyone is on twitter (TWITTER I ASK YOU) and/or Dreamwidth and/or tumblr and/or private blogs and/or offline, and LJ is a ghost town. But I do not like any of the other social medias as much, and so I am stubbornly here. As much as I have ever been, which is like, quarterly.
My biggest beef with G+ is the difficulty of merging my two google identities. I have my default not-associated-with-my-whole-name email, and my firstnamelastname email, and I would really like google to understand that those are the same person, and if someone invites me to edit a doc in one, the other should also be able to edit, or read G+ posts or something. I can send email from both identities from the same screen! But somehow all other integrated googlings require me to sign out and sign back in. Or, conversely, I want a way to be able to follow locked LJ post and friends only G+ thru RSS. All I want, Echo, is the entire world to conform to my convenience. That doesn't really seem like much to ask, frankly.
Ten years ago I was a high school senior equivalent! I played Anne Frank in a traveling show (I have nothing pithy to say about that, except that I still don't actually like Anne much as a person), Got my heart broken by college admissions boards (why would you admit me and give me inadequate financial aid? extra cruel!), Slammed into the world of "Dyslexia is a learning disability," (true story: not actually an issue until university chemistry which made me cry a lot) Had my first boooooyfriend (who is and was a delightful person) And interned at a political think tank (True story: I wandered in because I liked their sign and had no idea what they did. I volunteered for them for a few years, and then they offered me a paid internship, where I internet-gofur'd for Noam Chompski and other luminaries of political thought.) In as much as I have always been a stoic who didn't like feelings- it was a big year, full of big feelings.
