And, being somewhat unoriginal, I find that other peoples' ideas are far more likely to draw my interest and set off a train of thought that can be captured in an interesting and entertaining reply. Much of the best writing that I do - and some of the oddest - is in the comments on other journals.
It follows that my own journal is somewhat repetitive and banal, attracting very few comments in its own right, except for those occasions when I recognise that I'm on someone else's journal writing a comment that is, effectively, hijacking their space; in those cases I credit the original idea and put up the comment as a post in my own LJ.
