"Why are your stories so dark?" Yeah, that's a dorky question. Yay for good news that cannot be spoken aloud. Hope it can be spoken soon.

Yeah, that's a dorky question.

I think it's worse than dorky...but maybe that's just me.

I hope the mood gets less black for you. But at least you can forge something fine from it. Take heart from the fact that you'll never write the vanilla the whiners crave.

I rather take heart from picking their flesh from between my teeth.

You could have fangs, with enough whittling.

Most of my LJ friends and I have moved over to Dreamwidth. It's pretty much the same thing, but with more sensible owners (former LJ people as it happens.)

Erm...

I've heard some really, really foul things about how foul the owners of Dreamwidth are, and their antics. Now, they might still be better than the people Six Apart sold LJ to, but...

I hadn't heard any of that. We made the switch last year and thus far the experience has been smooth.

I may post details tomorrow. I'm fact checking.

Didn't know that one. Thank you.

It's one of my favorites.

That’s about right for dealing with the whiners. The universe deals out some really unpleasant cards at times. We play our cards as best we can, but we can’t all put together a hand of “I am so pleasant that I emit sunshine from all my bodily orifices”.

Hey, at least you just made me smile.

Victory!

(I count each chuckle wrested from an uncaring universe as a victory, particularly when I can make my darling obsessivewoman laugh through her migraines.)
