I'm completely confused right now. First I woke up from a terrible dream, then I heard this noise outside that had me downright terrified for a minute, and then I turned on the computer and discovered what was happening in London. O_O My reactions to each have practically cancelled each other out. I was going to write about the dream, but now I'm not sure I can. I might just take some notes.

I've got this strange thought stuck in my head, of metaphors for what each of the internet communities I'm a part of are like. I don't even know where the idea came from; suddenly it was just there: Tumblr as an ocean, Dreamwidth as a complex of caves. I wonder what LiveJournal could be - perhaps a city. An old city that used to be amazing once, but has lost its touch.
Hey, all of this makes a lot of sense! Which ... doesn't explain why I'm thinking it in the first place, but I guess I simply like metaphors. :P
If Tumblr is an ocean, then what does that make Twitter? A river? And Facebook, ugh! I can't get a feel for that one at all.
... I might be more insane than usual today. But, creativity! That's always a good thing, right? XD
