Hi Tumblr. Yeah, I know it’s been a while. Yeah, I know I was all excited about your multi-functionality and aesthetically pleasing layout a few weeks ago. I remember. You were new. You were shiny. It was exciting. I know, you felt it too.

This last week or so though, it hasn’t been quite the same. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was missing until today. I read a beautiful post from my friend Jess (http://de-saudade.tumblr.com/) about being away from the people she loves at Christmas. I cackled like a banshee at a hilariously awesome link posted by my love bug Lauren (http://thehandshakedrugs.tumblr.com/). I went to interact with my friends on both of these posts and realised that the only option I had was to click that little heart button.

Now, I don’t want to sound like I’m all hung-up on my ex or anything, but back when I was with LiveJournal - and we were together for like, 7 years - we had a comment feature. Pretty standard stuff for a blogging site, really. We used to, you know, interact with one another. We had some heated debates, we had some laughs. They were good times. I realise you have that whole ‘reblogging’ thing going on but I don’t really think that’s for me. I like sticking to my own content. I don’t even like retweeting on Twitter. It makes me as little uneasy. I’m sure you understand.

I know I didn’t mention this earlier, but I’m still kinda seeing LiveJournal. I mean, I’m not actually BLOGGING there or anything, but I still log in every day and see what’s going on. We’re on good terms. I don’t really want to get back together or anything, but y’know, it’s not totally out of the question. I don’t want to stop seeing you either, Tumblr, but let’s just take it day by day for now.

Also, if you could bump my Tumblarity up from 3 I might feel the love a little more.
