eljay is no place for phantom-hpuff!
Hey guys.
I made another IJ account, again, sailing-mishap. Which will be for the most part public over there, just like here. And The Circus-Lights account is now my fic/art journal, the equivalent to early_pearly here.
I know, I know, I have eleventy billion journals now. But a) I wouldn't have made the GJ one to begin with if I'da known that they are apparently equally stringent about their TOS rand b) well. I think I'm gonna pack it up and move over to IJ.
Yeah, I don't know. My paid account here runs out on September 5th.
And I know this whole LJ debacle isn't affecting me personally, but it's affecting fandom. I guess it's like baseball in a way. We may be on different teams, but when something happens to one of us, we all band together to form one big fraternity (sorority?)
Basically, I'm sick of LJ's dickish ways and would prefer to be in a place where, even if I'm not affected, I don't have to be scared that I will/could be. I don't have to feel guilty or scared or ashamed about who I am and what I like. And that is honestly how I'm starting to feel.
That being said, I'm not going to delete this journal, no way no how. Nor am I going to completely remove myself from LJ insomuch as keeping tabs on yous guys and commenting etc. I'll be here just as much. I just won't be updating here. Also, !David will stay intact, if inquiring minds want to know. Which, I don't know, he might become more active once I'm not. He's not a paid account, and he's only important with a few people in !world anyway, so it's not big deal to me. Besides, he has a boyfren. I can't just...BREAK THEM UP!
Another thing is, I've had this journal for over 3 1/2 years. And I'm a 100 percent different person than I was when I started it. There's a few of you on my flist who have known me for three of those years, I know, and I think you can agree on that.
Also, I'm not sure how many of my "real life" "friends" still follow me on here, but I sort of feel/have felt uncomfortable knowing they read this. I mean, I know my IJ will be public too but I kinda feel like I since I'm moving on, maybe they will too.
Re: my fic/art, I'll probably fake-cut back to stuff that's on my early_pearly journal, so far as "moving" it. And my new stuff (har har) will probably be public unless it's an R rating or higher. Which, randomly, I need a default icon for that fic journal. If any of you guys find a good icon that involves circus-ness, lemme know.
Plus, y'know. I now get the journal name I've always wanted. :D
And now comes the trouble of uploading icons, when most of them are on my laptop. And I'm on my desktop. x(
Hope you guys understand. Feel free to like, ask me something you feel I've missed. Or even beg me to stay, I like the ego boost. ^__^
It's not goodbye yet, but I thought I'd give you guys, my truly amazing wonderful flist, a heads-up instead of just jumping ship in a month.
