Hi! You don't know me from adam, but we have a mutual friend, jiggery_pokery, who suggested I check your journal out. forgive me for barging in! :)
I must stop being crap and avoidant about email; and I must stop using LiveJournal as a substitute for email, even if it feels much less stressful for some reason.
I just wanted to say that I have all kinds of problems with this exact same issue, and it feels SO good to know that it's not just me who has trouble answering email when LJ is so much more immediate. I really appreciated even reading that somebody else has to deal with that phenomena too--it makes me feel less lazy, I guess, and more inclined to see it for what it is--a desire for some kind of more *immediate* communication, whereas email feels so much less like real-time than LJ, for some reason.
