Deleted

[poliphilo]

One of my friends just deleted her journal.

Of course she has every right, but, my, it's frustrating not to be able to call it up and re-read recent entries and hazard a guess at why.

The LJ universe is as unstable as the "real" one.

Oh look-

A falling star.......

There is a community which exists for people to leave behind messages explaining why they've deleted their journals. But I don't know if your friend would have known about it or left a message. The community seems to me like an idea which will never quite work anyway, because who would want to be a regular member of it, and have to read hundreds of messages about complete strangers deleting their LJs?

It's a pity people can't leave behind a message explaining their reasons, while the rest of their journal gets deleted. I also never quite undertand why anyone would want to delete anyway, but there it is.

What a neat idea. I'll know where to look next time someone blinks out.

As it happens, this particular story has a happy ending. My friend hit the wrong button and now she's back.
