I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is LJ always dead on Sunday evenings? It's baffling. I'd have thought most people would have net access at home by now, so it can't be a 'can only post at work' thing, and I'd also expect people to be in on Sunday evenings since it's a school night, kicking around at home and potentially thinking of interesting things to post. Is it that you can't spod without the thrill of the forbidden, the threat of the boss popping up behind you? Is Sunday your sacred night to spend offline with your real-life people? Is it just that no one goes online because they assume no one else will be there?

...No, I'm not procrastinating. Why do you ask?

I dunno why, I've noticed it too though. And not just on LJ, but on forums too.

I sit there going 'post god-damn-you' because I'm bored witless, or today killing time until heading to London tomorrow while Trey waits to become tired.

What are they all doing on Sunday nights? It's not like there's any great TV on....

They appear to have made a bit of a botch job moving data centres.

It is surprising and disappointing as I'm working and would rather be reading LJ

I dunno, I'm on the interweb. I'm also watching a film, intermittently cooking more lunches for the weeks ahead, and fixing several of my PCs.
But there's nothing to read on LJ. Maybe I should post something.

Casually posting a thought that’s come into your head is easier if you’re already sitting at your computer.

Some people visit certain places to get away from work, but don’t consider them compelling enough to visit at the weekend.

People have been out doing stuff during the day, and are now being lethargic before Monday morning hits.

People have been stuck inside doing nothing interesting at all, and don’t want to admit to it.

Phone calls are cheaper.

People went to a fantastic party last night. It went on a bit late. They woke up at 2pm and have spent the day shuffling around saying things like “Ow, my head” and “Where’s the tea?” If they’re really unlucky, the sight of what the milk’s turned into has turned their stomach. They’re probably not capable of operating a computer.

78% of one day family visits happen on Sundays.

Some people post lots on Sundays (http://www.livejournal.com/users/feanelwa/714042.html).

I think mostly on Sunday evenings, people *aren’t* procrastinating.

I assume no-one will be reading, or that comment-based discussions will stop quickly because everyone will read briefly before they go to bed.
This is a bit silly, since I am reading and now commenting....

Interesting - I find that LJ is usually stone dead on Saturdays but picks up a bit on Sunday, though this Sunday has been quieter than expected.
Where everyone goes off to, I haven't the foggiest. Possibly we're all too busy frantically refreshing our friendspages wondering why nothing is being posted to write posts of our own...

... you ought to start a sundaynightinternetgroup ... I'm on line. Very pleased to have finaly got my broadband wifi at home. I'm sure that the novelty will wear off. I've just finished watching the Titfield Thunderbolt.
Hope you're well and that you track down your muse ...

it's odd, as several different people who sell stuff on ebay tell me auctions finishing on Sunday night get the best response, as most people are in. I seem to be working a lot of weekends at the moment, and saytime wekend lj posts to keep me entertained are minimal.

I'm not posting much anyway at the moment, but if I do want the most people to read a post (not necessarily comments), weekday mornings seem to work, even if a post is written over the weekend and saved as a private post to repost later.

Sunday evening is a time divinely ordained for solitude to be painful to people who are alone. That's why the web is dead tonight.

Meanwhile, I'm at my cousin Christopher's hill farm in the Nagle Mountains and realising, consciously and clearly, that I do not wish to be here. Yes, they are nice pople but... Some other time, I'll run through the reasons, but I have eaten his meat and drunk his ale: I will not speak ill of him and his family. Not tonight, and not while I am under his roof.

Realising subliminally that I do not wish to be here has led my dreams into places that I ought to be glad to have seen and finally understood. But on the whole, I'd rather not: we all have things in memories of our formative experiences that are best left well alone.

Let's just say that the solitude weighs on me more heavily than it has done at almost any time since I started LiveJournalling.

Which leaves me wondering: how does 'place' affect your dreams?

I'm out doing things on Sunday evenings the same as I am every other night of the week. And then I check into LJ in the early hours of Monday morning. I'm too hard for schoolnights.

Sundays are generally my films/beer/pizza quietish night with marnameow, sbp, & dogrando. Last night featured a couple more folk & a *lot* more wine than usual, as we were making Xmas pudding (it being Stir-Up Sunday, according to Pete).

Plus, I usually LJ at work, when I am bored, not at home, when am less so :-)

For my part, knirirr wouldn't let me on the computer; I actually didn't notice as I'd been placed on the sofa with knitting and Two Towers disc 2 on...

[dr-f-dellamorte.livejournal.com]

Actually, I don't have the net at home at the moment!

totally agree about the 'dead' lj thingie.
hope it's ok that I added you :)
