Hi, everybody! This is Star Ultranova/formerly xenaeilonwy reporting live from her new account! I did delete my old journal, as I said I would, but I'm back and ready to hurl more vitriol at everyone's favorite snark magnet, Karen

I don’t think the “sleepovers” I had as a kid count as real ones . . . my parents never trusted anyone to take care of me (and I was a kid without medical problems; they were just overprotective) so I never got to go to any sleepovers, and the ones at my house only ever involved me, my best friend, and my little sister butting in. And my best friend’s family wasn’t the greatest (she had to do nearly everything herself, starting from a young age) so my parents loved to have her over. Our families were both poor, financially, so we didn't "raid the refrigerator" or eat pizza or watch movies. I think we got some free clay from a parent's friend once and spent a night making clay 'sculptures', and we did some painting and watched the stars and stuff, nothing fancy :P

I think Karen’s reason for wanting to send the invitations out by mail is that older kids and adults get mail, but kids usually don’t, and getting something in the mail is exciting to a kid. (When you get older and you’re just expecting bills, it’s not.)

I’m wondering, too, about the “LiveJournal Death Throes” bit - does the site periodically remove communities that aren’t active enough? I hope BSC-Snark lives forever, I’m on it all the time! :)
