Yeah, just keeping the LJ around.
I don't know why - it's like LJ is less intuitive for me to use and therefore I use it less often? Also, I think that Tumblr does a better job of tying in a blog with the rest of the social community - my blog there is necessary for having friends, where on LJ I basically have the blog in order to join comms where I then talk with people. So I feel ( Read more... ) -

Making the occasional obligatory post as to not get my account deleted or anything - although given that I'm active in communities even if this blog isn't, I would hope that the blog doesn't go away just because I'm posting elsewhere on lj ( Read more... ) -
*waves at anyone from Westerosorting checking this out*
I would comment on this in the thread, but rules say I'm not allowed to post anything in that thread until the sorting is over, so I'll put this up here (and tell everybody in the community later, since I don't think that anyone will actually run over here to check this out ( Read more... ) -
*waves at the asoiaf_stamp community mods*
If you check this out, it's a (semi-)active journal (I did discover tumblr this year) but most of my posts are friends-only and therefore invisible. I'm trying to get back into LJ a bit more. Please don't reject! *waves* -

WANT.
(Must. Win. Lottery. Must. Win. Lottery.)
(Also, randomly: I just found out the origin of the popular Internet phrase DO NOT WANT. It's from a badly subtitled version of the last Star Wars movie - when Darth Vader wakes up as Darth Vader for the first time and goes "Noooooo!", the Chinese ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: Listen to This
Tastes in music tend to be more individualized than, say, tastes in reading, and everything I listen to seems to drive everyone else around me nuts. But here's a 10-song sample playlist of what I'm listening to now:
Etude No. 5, Philip Glass (Minimalist piano; it depends on a simple, repeating motif with varied phrasing weaving around it. When I ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Meant to Be?
There's a part of me that really wants to respond to this with a one-liner: "All of this has happened before...and all of this will happen again," strictly tongue-in-cheek, of course.
No, there's no such thing as fate. Of course there isn't. Life tends to be constrained by natural ability (or lack thereof), circumstances, and, as the avatar says, ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Musical Affliction

Bear McCreary's arrangement of All Along the Watchtower. Ironic, as it's on the BSG S3 soundtrack and I haven't yet reached the episode where it appears, so I have no idea of the context, but this tends to get stuck in my head.
The other two that are getting frequently stuck in my head at the moment ( Read more... )
