Hi!
I'm quite late to this party, but I suppose I should let everyone know that I am on Dreamwidth as well. I do not really know how it works, but there I am, in case LiveJournal ever goes kaput (I hope it doesn't <3). I will still mostly be here for the time being, as long as LJ sticks around.
I imported all of my LJ over to Dreamwidth in March. It was a grand ordeal all told that took up about a day's worth of investment and emotional energy. I spent over four hours one night trying and retrying and retrying and retrying to import the comments only to have it fail every time. I would have been sad to lose all my rambles, but sadder still to lose the exchanges in the comments, and I went to bed very preemptively sad about all the potential loss. The next day, LiveJournal was still there; but on the chance that it wouldn't be the next day, I started screenshotting comments like a lunatic-not just those on my own journal, but anywhere else I could remember having exchanges myself. The prospect of losing LJ was devastating, and I haven't even been here that long.
Thankfully, my next attempt at importing-of course I tried AFTER I'd taken about 300 screenshots, lol-was successful, so all the stuff from my journal (pre-March, at least) is now copied over. Having my own journal's content will be a small comfort, I suppose, if LJ ever does disappear, though there is much more on this site that I will miss greatly. (Summergen archives/community, I think of thee. <3)
I have been terrible at keeping up with LJ lately. I hope you are all doing well! I am currently trying to find the exact indoor temperature I can tolerate without having to remove all of my clothing. I think my problem is not so much that I am completely intolerant of higher temperatures in a controlled environment, but more so that in a controlled environment my innate desire is always to curl my limbs into myself like a fetus and wrap myself in an additional layer and this is not an appropriate posture in all climes. I am also doing a terrible job of writing my Summergen (I have written exactly zero words and am further procrastinating by writing this post) and so I hope all ye other participants are doing better than I!
