A puzzling little blog still looking for its voice, but sometimes gets lost and has trouble finding its way.

I'm Not Just Boring, I'm Bored
So, this will my last week with Google+ as the service is ending. To be honest, I barely used it. The overwhelming majority of my posts on it was shared content with Blogger. I had set my blog up so that it would appear on my feed as soon as it was posted. That ability ended a few months ago, but I had already been cross-posting a link on Facebook, so there was no shortage of coverage. I can't remember posting any pictures, save for my profile pics. If there were anything else, they were so unimportant that I have long since forgotten about them. As for general posts, I don't think I had new content in two years, not since I really started to explore Facebook. I have the option of saving my content, but it was so much dreck, that I doubt I will. I never really got to explore the possibilities of the platform. The only books I found had information that was out of date, by years. Some of the features had changed, to the point that I couldn't really understand them. I couldn't find any new information to help me out either. I really was only going on the platform to aid my store, Booknotes. I barely did anything for it either. The strange thing is that business uses of Google+ might still remain, at least in some fashion. I haven't been asked to save the content from that part of my account as I have from my personal account. I should look back on what little I posted, but what is the use? I didn't do anything. I had no friends try to contact me there, so I guess anyone who knew me didn't try to find me, at least by the point I started on it. I never had anything interesting to report. I never did anything worthy to post. I never joined any communities to reach out to anyone who shared any of my interest, such as they are. I barely do more than that on Facebook, either. But I do do more than that and I am more connected there, and that's the point. Lately, things just seem to be in a holding pattern. I can't seem to get anywhere or do anything. I am just barely doing a minimum amount of anything to get by. In fact, I just sent in my latest application for grad school, at least as much of it as I could before the deadline. I think I did enough of it correctly to at least continue the process, but I am not enthusiastic about it, not as much as I should be. I still like doing everything that I'm doing, I just can't get myself to react more positively about it. Not that I do much, but I just can't feel it enjoying me. Whatever, I seem be rambling. I didn't plan this week's post as well as I should have. What happens to one's online life when a social media site ends, when there wasn't much on it to begin with?
