I'd like to know.

[ambitious_wench]

I just did a read-through of my journal back one year. I note that my LJ has become much more political lately. I also note that my writing has improved, I think, as well as my photography.

I'd like to know; Why do you read my journal? Is it to keep in touch with an old friend? Is it for my radical leftist feminist rantings? For the snark? For the LJ drama? For the pictures? To argue about Michael Moore? For the pictures?

Why?

Please be honest. If anyone wants this to be private, I'll allow anonymous commenting.

Now for some visual analgesic:

Well, I friended it because of your awesome Yosemite photography. But I'm a 43 year old free thinker and it turns out I like your politics and frankness.

Because you are you. I value your view of things, even when it clashes with my own; our ability to discuss those things we clash over in an objective manner; and our ability to remain friends when the discussion becomes not so objective. I value your intelligence, your humor, and even the snark. I value that you can keep a secret and have an open mind. I enjoy your photography, but miss the...stories.

Keeping in touch with a friend, darlin'. :)

You've been on my friends list for so long, you've become a fixture!

I'd miss your pictures and your slant on things if you were not there.

I think I originally friended you because I remember reading your pr0n and was hoping to see more of that. Then I stuck around for the politics. But mostly I'm just hot for the pics because you take some really great pics. :) *hugs*

I read your journal for a few reasons. To keep in touch with what's going on in your life, for the photos, coz sometimes I find interesting topics, & coz sometimes I learn new things!

I read it to keep connected with you.

I enjoy getting to know you better, as someone who has lived and leads a very different life than I do - the process of getting to know someone entirely through online interactions is pretty fascinating to me. And lately, my favorite aspect of reading your journal is the photography, which I find incredible. (And which has spurred on my desire to visit Yosemite, hopefully next year.)

For your politics, your clear thinking, and then your beautiful photos. I find my life that much richer each time I read you.

I read your journal so that I can pretend that you're not all the way on the other side of the country, and because I enjoy what you write, and your photographs.

I read it because you're neat. =) (Photos, op-ed, politics... all of it.)
