D'OHH!!!!
I have livejournal set up to stay logged in as long as my browser is open. Well, it closed down a few days ago, crashed a couple times while I was playing with wierd flash shtuff. Throughout that time I'd been lurking as normal, till earlier I posted a comment and found I wasn't logged in. ::points at self:: I'm with stupid. So I log in, and my friends page looks COMPLETELY different, so many friends only entries. Catching up on that, I see I've missed big news for some people and all that, so I'll now go back a few days and catch up on my friends' lives (seeing as LJ is my entire social life these days). But that'll be later, after I've slept, seeing as it looks like I've missed some pretty big things that require thinking to give relevant advice/commentary.
