I miss the old LJ community and the sense of a conversation, sometimes.
At the weekend, I went blackberrying with my girlfriend. (She's amazing. Have I mentioned that?) It was an accidental sort of blackberrying: we filled her hat, because there was a patch of dead ground filled with brambles and berries and we just couldn't turn away.
With a cooking apple cooked down with chopped dates for sweetness, we made a blackberry pie:

It was. It is all gone now. :)

What I have found on Dreamwidth is the ability to have good conversations in people's comments (including my own, although it's most reliable when I post about movies), but the sense of a conversation across journals is not so much present. It makes me disproportionately happy whenever total strangers wander into my comments, because it means it's still possible.

I hope you are treasured as much in return. You deserve it.

Thank you. I hardly believe it, but... all signs point to yes.
