this is making me furious and giving me a headache at the same time

ACTA, SOPA, PIPA and LJ. All the stuff that's happening right now is making me feel really helpless and pushed into a corner. I do not want a complete stranger to be able to censor the thoughts that I write in my own home, that they shouldn't have access to in the first place. anti ACTA petition

The best thing about LJ is that there's a community for everything and that if you don't want to actively participate or have to go offline for a few months you can do that and return without any problems. There isn't that pressure to check every second of the day as it is with some sites.

I was at the movies a few weeks ago and suddenly I saw something bright in the corner of my eye. When I turned around I saw that there was a guy there checking his Facebook while the movie was running...what's the point of paying to watch a movie if you're not going to actually watch it? *shakes head*

I think you might be right :( It's so disheartening reading what the management have done in such a short amount of time

*hugs you tightly* Right now I'm hanging out at both LJ and DW. I'm not that good with changes either so what I'm doing is I'm familiarizing myself with DW and building up a new flist so that if the day comes when I have to leave, I won't have to start over from zero.
That and if I get the word out that I'm over there as well, then people will hopefully be able to find me if LJ goes down again or the other way around.

I've always preferred blue as well ;D
