"Guys - you're scaring the straights!"
I am legitimately not too worried about this, because only a handful of people know me on both the LJ and the Facebook and they are, to the best of my knowledge, not idiots, but - for the record. Y'all for the love of the many hypothetical gods, do not ever ever NO SERIOUSLY EVER link anything I do here over on Facebook.
I didn't turn the 'connect' thing on in the first place, so hopefully even if some asshat (read: people not on my flist - I hope) decided to do that it wouldn't trace back to me (as in, my real name and all that good potential stalkerbait crap, on Facebook), but come on, guys. I'm looking for a career-oriented job here (like a FUCKING ADULT). The last thing I need is my prospective employer doing the obligatory Facebook looky-loo and first thing seeing all the gay porn about superheroes and pirates. You know?
Also, fyi, if you're concerned about your privacy: you seriously might want to turn that Pingback bot thing off, for reals. I wanted it off right off the bat because I thought it was fucking annoying; now turns out it can potentially send entire copies of posts you've made to somebody, simply because you linked their entry. Once. In the entire post. Where, for all anyone knows, you might go on about personal shit that's entirely unrelated or worse, maybe you were talking about somebody you thought was an idiot and then linked their entry to prove your point. And allegedly, these copies of entries can go out even if the original entry was locked. Um, whoops.
Okay. Yeah. Happy thoughts time now! Have some things I like on the internet today -
1. Courtesy of foxxcub: They're giant, round, fuzzy, stuffed animals. Hug them. EEEEEEEE!!!
2. Y'all MAC is making a line of cosmetics with Disney villainesses on them (and...Facilier, randomly? This is either because PatF is the newest animated film or then there's the Unfortunate Implications Affirmative Action answer). I probably don't need to tell you what I think of this. Unless you forgot about me declaring last Christmas' gift of Disney Villain Monopoly the best present ever. In fact I OH MY GOD THE MALEFICENT LINE IS SHINY IN ADDITION TO HAVING HER ON THE LABEL, WHERE THE FUCK IS MY WALLET I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.
3. cleolinda decides we're not quite all horrified enough by Twilight:
Except, wait--did I ever mention that I suddenly realized, like, a year and a half after reading Breaking Dawn, why the whole wedding night fade-to-black sex scene starts out in the "warm, tropical waters"?
Go get yourself a popsicle and think it over.
I'll just leave that there.
I'm guessing all you folks that are going to Dragon*Con, some of you might be leaving tonight or tomorrow. So I'll take this as my cue to sneak in wishes for safe traveling (if this applies) and having a great weekend!
This also applies to those of you not going to the con but that will be spending this weekend the way I am, celebrating Labor Day. In my case this means going to the lake with my parents, as by some miracle I landed all three days off. I'm not sure whether we're leaving tomorrow evening or Saturday morning, but the point is I won't be around on the internet until Monday.
And even if you're not going anywhere - have a great weekend, you guys! See y'all later.
