All of my LJ entries appear to have imported over to Dreamwidth, woot woot!! I am surprised it worked because there are 19 years worth of entries. I checked a few random posts, including one from 2006, and all the photos appear to have made their way there too. None of the comments made it over, but that's okay. This is exciting ( Read more... )

So, this year I got a tax refund. I don't even know. I was absolutely certain that I would have to pay because of being technically self-employed now, but my brother-in-law equally insisted that I would get money back. And lo and behold, he was right. EEEE ( Read more... )

In honor of LJ's birthday they are giving out a card with an event that happened the year you started your blog! Mine started in 2003, which doesn't seem that long ago until you realize IT WAS 18 YEARS AGO OMG. 18 YEARS of journaling here. That seems CRAZY.

From fansee's recent post:

Post to LJ twice a week? Fail.
Write a small amount every day? Fail.
Catch up on my reading? Fail.

I have failed so much that I even procrastinated making this post for at least a week. So.Much.Fail.

Hello, all. It's been forever since I've even looked at LJ -- just too overwhelmed with the world at large -- and I've been doing a lot of planning and thinking and trying to figure out how to get control of everything: not letting real-world things get overwhelming, to do enough work (I am doing freelance transcription) to pay the bills without ( Read more... )

Some of you probably know that two servers/clusters on LJ failed a couple of days ago. For me that meant that I couldn't access my LJ at all. *sadface* Now they are back, but apparently the glitch has meant that some posts are missing -- which is my case is my last post, which was the QaF fic ( Read more... )

After only a few hours sleep, I was up bright and early with a full day planned. Today is the 5th anniversary of my mom's death. I've been thinking about her a lot lately (and having TONS of mom-dreams) but today I was determined not to dwell on sadness and to instead remember the good times. And it certainly helped that I was spending the first ( Read more... )

One of my goals for 2013 is to comment/respond/reply/pay attention more in these parts. I know that it can be hard to feel connected to an online community and want to continue to play in it when all around you people are wondering "aloud" whether everyone is leaving/fandom is changing. Yes, people are leaving and yes, fandom is changing. But also ( Read more... )
