Also, what is it with all these fics with Sheldon and chess? I mean, not that I object, as it is very him, but goddamnit, I suck at chess and will therefore never manage to adequately seduce the man.

...yes, yes, I'm going to bed.

MOOP!

Postscript 1: Yes, this is why I have a twitter, to save you lot from posts like these. Oh wait. Apologies.

Postscript 2: Tonight will be an interesting test of what direction people read their livejournals in. Does this entry make any sense whatsoever? Have you read those that come before?

I myself read chronologically. Like you should.

Postscript 3: Wevs, you know? It's my journal and I'll post if I want to.

Unrelatedly, "wevs" is pretty much my word for the month.

Are there even journals that make sense when not read in chronological order? I mean, I guess some comms do, on a short timescale, but over a long timescale someone is bound to refer back to something that already happened... Even episodic comics (like XKCD) read better if read in order. Archive crawls are a point of logical survival.

Non chronological reading is for reference books.

I dearly wish (and have for years) that LJ made reading ones friends page chronologically easier. As such, the best I can do is to try to update frequently enough that it's effectively chronologically. This fails when someone posts a burst of entries.

Chronologically

... because otherwise it would be Chronoillogically.

(Well, except when I get distracted by something1 while working my way back to where I left off reading.)

1. But I'm sure that never happens to you.

I skim non-chronologically, then read my way back up the page.

You could try Go instead?

From what they've shown on TV it seems like Sheldon would be more into Three Dimensional Chess anyway. I think you'd have a better chance of seducing him with a killer knowledge of physics and some kick ass Halo skills.

I read chronologically, though I glance at things as I'm scrolling down the page to see where I left off. Curiously enough, this entry did catch my eye on the way down. I was like "Wait, what, Sheldon? She hasn't mentioned BBT so far... yeah, I gotta read these previous entries. :D"

I back-back-back to where I last left off and read forward.

I do occasionally open some things (big or lj-cut or linky) in a separate tab and read it once I'm caught up. That bit may or may not follow chronology.
