My conference finished up today, at least the main part of it. I have a meeting to go to tomorrow morning that will last a couple of hours, and that's it. After that I'm done and have the rest of my Saturday in Vancouver to myself. I will probably do some shopping, though the downtown might be a bit of a shitshow tomorrow as there is some kind of ( Read more... )

Hello to all my Livgerbil friends who stuck around after the mass exodus to DuckWorth (or whatever it's called) and to anyone else reading this.

Today was Livegerbil's birthday, and everyone was getting one of those memes or whatever they're called about the year we each began in this community. For me it was 2003 and I still remember where I was, what I was doing, and how I came to be a Livergerbil person.

seaivy was writing in her journal about people jumping ship from Livegerbil. A lot of people have done so, and now when I look at my friends list, a lot of them are people who were once very active posters, but who haven't darkened the door of this place in years. I miss many of them, especially some of whom became IRL friends, and who I would meet if I ( Read more... )
