I go around a time or two, just to waste some time with you

My brother's wedding went off without too many screw ups, I've managed to trick Louise into living with me (or maybe the other way around), and through the constant application of cheap alcohol have managed to resign myself to paying the enormous fucking flood damage bill. All that's left is to move the rest of my possessions into the house, and

I kept sitting there, looking around and becoming more and more bewildered. I wish I'd thought to take a picture; it had all the different famous paintings of her, including the Waterhouse one, and lines from the poem winding around the top of the wall. I didn't even know McDonalds could do that.

Thanks! Me, I'm mostly just glad she's got a dining room table and other stuff we can use, so now I can wait on buying some furniture for now. Cinderblocks averted for another day.

Heh. OH BURN GABALDON! I agree, particularly after leafing through some at the local store. I just really hope they're not in the literature section.

I think that's understandable and a logical solution, though I also think that both everyone else moving or lj rotting itself out is not likely to happen as quickly as people seem to think. But we'll see. Dreamwidth may be working on providing a lot of the fixes lj lacks or falls short on, but I think as long as lj still provides a basically usable model, people are just not going to move, no matter what the outrage du jour is.

(To be honest, I am not entirely comfortable with dreamwidth's people either, after the way one of the creators comported herself in an fandom issue. I know it should be comforting that many of their people are recruited from fandom... but, fandom does not always make people trustworthy. Hell, it makes a lot of them downright crazy.)

I know some McDonalds apparently have "themes"--there was one the Mews took me to out West of here that had a UFO theme? Or something. I'm not sure!

Whenever I hear of cinderblocks I tend to think of my family's golden retriever back in Texas and how he would roll them down the hill. This was after it was discovered using just bricks to cover up the holes he dug to get out of the yard would not work. Apparently, cinderblocks didn't work either. That admittedly has nothing to do with furniture, unless you plan on getting a friendly golden retriever.

You've probably seen my "ARGH WRY" posts and things, so I won't go into all of that here... it's just more of a question of how many more times do I have to go through one big scare or mass account deletion or another before finally throwing my hands up in the air and leaving? In any case, they get no more money from me, and as little content as possible.

I know some people are comfy here and so long as they're happy here, that's okay. I just don't fall into that group anymore.

Weird. It just seemed like such a random theme, you know?

Aww, I remember you telling me about him. And no dogs for me, right now; if I ever do get a pet that doesn't live in a bowl, it'd probably be a cat.

Oh yes, and I can understand that. I thought your post made sense. I... just don't feel the same way, I guess, because I can't bring myself to care that much. Of everything going on in my life, livejournal and its issues fall far, far down the list.

(I don't direct this at you personally, but I think if you [general you!] fear something you've said on the internet will get linked back to you and affect your life-- don't put it on the damn internet to start with. It will save you a lot of stress in the long run! Which is where your exclusion from livejournal is fine, because you're choosing to remove your content from a site that might not secure it. That makes sense. But seriously, people, it is not that hard to figure out anything you say online can be linked to you, goddamn. This is not rocket science.)
