My short answer would be yes, but that wouldn't be much fun to read.
I mainly blog. I have made some good friends through LJ and I try to keep up with them. I have a journal each for posting my graphics, my Book of Shadows and theology notes, gardening, short stories and poetry I have written, recipes and cooking tips, crafting and then my daily misc stuff.
I love my live journal. I have a Myspace account but other then keeping up with and finding new bands I think it sucks. Mylot has been the only site to really compete with my enjoyment of LJ for about two years now.

Oooh. I love posting graphics. What's a "Book of Shadows", though? Sounds like Charmed.

It's a lot like that. I am a pagan and a witch. Mine mainly contains research on theology in general, deities and Sabbats though.

That's pretty freakin' awesome. Not something I'd get into, but fun, nonetheless.

I love my Livejournal. I don't post as much as I used to, or as much as I would like to for that matter. I always *think* about what I would like to post though. When I do post, I tend to post when I need to vent or when I have especially cute pictures of my kids.
There are a ton of excellent communities on there, and I am always searching for new ones to join about any number of topics.
I have really met a ton of super nice people on there. Some I have even met in real life. It's so strange the relationshipd you can form over the internet without ever meeting the people.

I actually would tend to agree with you. Very strong bonds can be formed just from talking to someone on the internet and that in itself is a scary concept.
There's eighty million communities on Livejournal. There's so many that sometimes I wonder how in the world LJ's servers many to keep all of that data. There's at LEAST millions, if not billions.
I haven't actually made a *real* post in ages. I suppose I only need to make posts when I have something interesting to say, which when I think about it, it doesn't happen very often.

I use my livejournal for all the above reasons you said. But the main reason is to keep up with those that I have met through there and have stayed connected with mostly that way. I love getting feedback/comments from my friends and tend to get disappointed when I don't get any. I try my best to leave comments for my friends, but have been very lacking in that in the last year or so. But I love my livejournal and probably will never leave it.

Yeah. I love to get comments. I rarely actually post any entries, though.

I use livejournal for writing my own entries about what's going on, and I use it to vent whenever I'm having a bad time, or just want to remember something. I also use it to read fanfiction in some communities, look at harry potter art, keeping up with friends and reading communities that interest me. It's a great place to find information on pretty much anything. So it's a great place to do research and find new friends.

Oh. I love Livejournal for use as a community. The whole "Friends Page" really works wonders.

I use Livejournal for keeping up with my friends. I recently moved across the country, so I don't see a lot of my old friends. I've also got some friends on Livejournal that I have never met in person, and probably never will, but I still consider them good friends. Occasionally, I will end up making a friend on Livejournal that I would have never made without it!
