Glad you're back!

LJ is such a butt, I can barely stand it anymore to be honest. I'm really only here for some friend's list people and comment_fic at this point.

Let me apologize again for being late and random and urgh, I wish I had more time to be more organized and be a better correspondent.

IKR, LJ fails upset me so:( It means a lot to me - it's a history starting 2007, and I've met many, many amazing people here who've become real friends, so I don't want to see it go. Do you feel more comfortable at dreamwidth or somewhere else?

No need to apologize, real life comes first.

I know what you mean, I've been here so long under a different username. I've been around since I was a young teen and am now in my twenties. I'm not really comfortable at dreamwidth though I post from there. I don't really know anyone there and it just feels so empty. I spend most of my time on tumblr, that's where I feel the most comfortable at the moment I'd say.

Sorry for the ramble, it's kind of an odd subject for me. I don't know exactly how to feel about it.

Don't worry, rambling is fine, and in this case I asked for it, so totally okay:)

Do you prefer to post from DW to avoid LJ ~improvements~ in layout and whatnot? I also made an account at DW just in cases, but don't want to play with platforms unless they introduce some really stupid changes here that I won't be able to stomach. Tumblr is too chaotic for me, overall, and most importantly, I don't see how it helps to communicate and talk properly, so I go there for the pretty/sassy things alone, pretty much. Also, the chance to meet people who share the randomest, most obscure things with me:)

HAI once again and thanks for being patient with me - sorry for lateness/randomness, I'll try to catch up with your journal, too, soon <3

aw, no worries. although i'm always happy to see your comments, of course! i just don't want you to feel overwhelmed, especially since i myself and lazy and end up skipping over a lot of f-list entries if i've been too busy/away for a while.

yeah, well, I don't reply to EVERYTHING either, of course - but the temptation to speak up is often too strong and brings me back to older entries #chatterbox problems Also I am ridiculously concerned about a sort-of netiquette (as I see it) - I try to treat online friends with courtesy, as I would rl-friends. Except it comes out more formal, you know *confused in her own train of thoughs*

Yay, welcome back! Hope you had a lovely and defiantly work-free weekend; can't wait for the picspam, whenever it materializes. :)

Ugh, now LJ has started the random unfriending thing too? I'd heard about it on tumblr, but I've always thought that LJ was above that kind of fuckery glitches, or at least had its own special set of fuckery glitches. Oh, well, I saw this on my flist, and a quick check on my profile says that LJ hasn't decreed that you and I can't be friends anymore. So yay for that, at least...

The picspam is up, and I'm sort of back and in a frenzy to catch up with everything. Sorry again for being a mess of a correspondent please don't take it for neglect it's just my feeble attemtps at organizing thoughts and stuff! I saw your b-day post, and preened a lot at my doodles making it there - I'll be back to comment soon <3

Random unfriending happens on tumblr? =O That's new to me. But then again, I resigned myself to NOT understanding what the hell is tumblr about long ago, so *helpless shrug*

I say we don't let LJ decide those things! *huffs and puffs* \o/

Never! It always makes me smile to see that you've escaped Mordor for a few hours, but, hey, being enslaved to the Forces of Evil ain't easy, and I completely understand that you can't exactly be online 24/7. And don't worry, anyone who draws personalized b-day cards for their LJ buddies is, like, the direct opposite of neglectful! :)

LOL, my thoughts exactly. I just shrug and mentally write off half of the stuff that goes on over there as "Here There Be Dragons incomprehensible tumblr mechanics."

Really?:3 This sentence made me swim in heartwarmth right there <3 And if you like the silly self-made things, it will keep coming, rest assured (being praised for it in disproportional amounts is a)incredibly gratifying and b)encouraging, so you have been warned XD)

Here Be Tumblr *eyeroll* One day the humanity will see into the insides of this black hole, but that day isn't near *in an ominous tone*

Welcome back! :D

Work has swallowed up my post-vacation time too, boo, but very glad to see you back!

IKR? I was so horrified when I got Lya's PM telling me of it - I mean, what if some people took it as a dramatic ragequit or something? Я не подписывалась на такое!!=О

I'm so sorry to hear your work decided to qualify as Isengard recently - I haven't been able to sit and properly comment on my f-list yet, as is self-evident (and I'm Captain Obvious, and am hating this randomness and scarcity), but please know I disapprove of its change of emploi and wish that things get smoother for you soon \o/

Thank you! I do too, and the last couple of days have been manageable. I think it's the usual fluctuation, I just wasn't prepared to hit a peak coming back from vacation. That said, it drives home just how crazy the "normal" level of work is these days...

Reply

ikel89 July 29 2013, 15:55:12 UTC
Glad to hear that:)
Agreed so much - it's disgusting how much the routine lately has stretched the definition of normal o_O Does that ever revert back, I wonder?
