Ok, so I'm not thrilled with the idea that, as the parent of an LGBT kid, and with LGBT friends, I might somehow be violating the new Russian-based ToS by posting about my life. However, I'm not convinced the Russian federation is going to find out and yell at me/throw me out, given how many accounts are out there. I have a permanent account, so ( Read more... )

Did LJ go berserk or is it just me? Every time someone comments on a post or a comment I made, I get about SIX notification emails. All identical. It started yesterday, I think. Is this happening to anyone else ( Read more... )

Inspired by a post I saw on my flist, I'm linking to a post I made approximately ten years ago. (The actual ten-years-ago post was much more boring.) But still - wow, my life has changed. We were waiting anxiously for Two, MiniPlu wasn't potty-trained yet, and I didn't have a free minute to myself because she was still so little. Our house was ( Read more... )

So, I passed my yellow-belt test today, but I'm feeling rather underwhelmed. ( tl;dr unless you really want to know the nitty-gritty details )

I just went ahead and got my paid account back on LJ. It was driving me nuts to have only 5 randomly selected icons; I was afraid to tweak with any of the others I had left. Yes, yes, I just funded The Machine, my apologies. I lasted six whole weeks before caving. :P

So, since I'm here wasting time until I head to the bus stop, a poll:

It occurred to me, as I sat here randomly roaming the Internet and procrastinating going to bed, that I missed my 10th LJ-anniversary last Friday. TEN years. O_o Given the duration of most internet interests, I had not the slightest notion I would still be here after that long. And ... I hate to admit it, but I still like it here. I'm horribly ( Read more... )
