Too many of the people I love are too far away. LiveJournal helps, but it's not the same as being in the same place with you (or the ones who aren't here).
It's true, but some connection is better than none. I've realized since being on LJ (all of 3 months now) that at least I know what's going on in some people's lives like yours, where before it was once a year if we were lucky and we'd be too busy at a con somewhere to really connect on all levels. But I am glad I live close to some and you're right, there's a big difference.
