3:03p - Dear John^H^H^H^H Livejournal
Dear Livejournal,
I'm sorry, but I think it's time to call it quits between us. It's not you - I think you're great. I've just grown up a lot since we started seeing each other, and I feel like I need to move on.
After ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) petit_chou introduced us, we just saw each other casually for a while. I mostly just hung out with you so I could see my friends. Then, your tantalizing features, such as userpics, drew me closer. I had the best of intentions. I knew you could offer me locked, friends-only entries. I knew if I just gave more to the relationship (about $35), you'd give me design power and userpics beyond my wildest dreams.
I tried to make it work in my own way. I had philosophical discussions with you. We laughed at the world together, and of course there were the memes. You were there for me in some dark days. We even got so close that I shared all the details of my pregnancy with you.
In the end, though, I could never trust you completely. I copied the text of entries before posting, just in case you lost it. I hardly ever wrote a friends-only entry because I just couldn't relax about the chance of you telling other people about it. It made me nervous that all of my thoughts and ideas were in your hands instead of mine.
So, Livejournal, I'm seeing someone else now. It's a Wordpress blog that I host on my own server at home. I hope you're not hurt, but I've already told it everything I told you. And I even tagged all my entries - something I know you wanted me to do but I never did when we were together. I'm just wrapped up in the euphoria of a new relationship. I've spent hours tweaking its CSS to look just right. And Wordpress offers me plugins and widgets - something you don't.
I know in a breakup that one's friends tend to take a side. I'd like you to know that if my friends like you better, they can still be friends with me. If it's too awkward to see me and Livejournal in the same page after the breakup, people can keep up with me using RSS or Feedwhip can even email it to them.
I hope we can still be friends.
Love,
girlkate
