hehe, I'd rate that last post as a 5 for funny. Livejournal, IMO, is only useful if you have REAL-LIFE friends who use it too. So if you're friends are actually beyond the maturity of a middle-schooler, and you only add them as your livejournal friends - then it's all good. As far as the service goes I have no major complaints. The web design/interface as previously mentioned by another /.'er is unwieldy and difficult. There are other services just as good. This does do a good job of keeping you up to date with friends and family that you would otherwise contact and talk to via instant messenger, phone, or .. in person. *gasp* This is just another medium to do such a thing, IMO.
