If, considering the stuff I've been dealing with the last month; considering the only icons I have relating to LJ are what they are (and I'm not adding a new one, or putting in a new tag just for one single post ) and that a post of mine saying - yeah, they're seeming to act sane, but big fucking whoop. I'm exhausted. If THAT is annoying to you - I am not Fox News. All your brains do not belong to me.
Drop my journal. My twitter. Lose my phone number. What the fuck else ever it is it'll take to make you feel better, keep you in a safe space, ensure that my opinions do not harsh the buzz of life that surrounds and animates your body.
It is ALWAYS drop/add around this journal. Especially for individuals who want to put what they are feeling onto my shoulders as if I caused it, directed it, gave birth to it and commanded it to cling like the proverbial bad habit monkey.

Woke up to postpone moving van.
Still tired, so likely going back to sleep. The gingerale I put in the freezer is frozen solid. My aim was to make gingerale slushy. I'm looking at it all forelornly now. I want gingerale slushy but alas, it is not there. This summer I may need to consider ginger tea ice-cubes or something.
Some point to this ramble. iJay is my home.
I don't see anyone talking about LJ's newly stated policies over here. But maybe that's because, like with me, iJay is your home. I'd recently re-considered my comment posting. I'd been considering even giving up the two places I have been bothering to post using my account. Now I won't. But I'm not going to un-privatelock my journals at LJ either. And I will not be posting at LJ.
This is just me. Once you lose me. You lose me. And I seriously believe that if it wasn't for the case of 'The Things White People Do' - I wouldn't have had any any impetus to comment at LJ at all. (eta: clarification = with my lj journal account)
iJay's my home. I trust ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) squeaky. Moreover I respect him.
I've also discovered functionality to have lj-like comments for Blogger.
It's nice and all that LJ went to rehab and got detox and therapy and is apparently trying to rebuild its life. But all the damn interventions wore me out.
I don't give a fuck.
Edited: Corrected title. How sleepy tired was I that I added an ex for no reason?

Apparently LJ user Legomymalfoy is the idiot at LJ abuse who could care less if you're being stalked or harrased among other things on the team that includes idiots who could care less if you're being stalked or harrassed aka LJ Abuse. Last time i vote for someone simply because fandom's giving them the push.
Changed my vote.
It won't matter, of course, since fandom's promoting LMM all over the damn place and there are a lot of people who dont' give a damn about this election and think it won't change a damn thing or matter in the long run - but who will put a vote towards someone an organized fannish effort promotesand because I don't think the Advisory Board is going to contribute much at all. But I agree a known and self displaying asswipe (jameth)shouldn't be on there.
All in all, it's making me glad I'm here.
I <3 you squeaky
ETA: This post was me griping. It was not intended as a call out for a deep expose and a bum rush for people to change their votes / voting inclinations. It's just me talking about something that makes the whole LJ Representative Board and Elections seem even more useless than I'd come to think.

There was a flurry of posts over on LJ in APRIL (I will look for more links later) all about whether or not iJay was viable for the long haul. squeaky actually went and replied to Synecdochic's entry, detailing his expertise, work and programming history and that he is indeed thinking ahead.
A few days later, Scribblit got transferred to Staff_Kit and then became Inksome.
I was a bit teed-off at the pokes to Insanejournal. It felt to me like people on LJ, who aren't here and aren't interacting daily and weekly with squeaky and had decided not to move, had no business spreading doubt about the service. I realize that's my personal opinion and that it was very much a reaction of "But you don't even live in my neighbourhood! Stop talking crap about it!".
But now I'm on the other side. The moment Inksome became Inksome, it felt to me more like a hobbysite than a current or future business. And I realize part of that is, once I got my early contributor account, things kept messing up over there, so I never uploaded icons and I stopped crossposting and haven't done much of anything with the account. I was waiting for things to settle. I haven't made a home there, and suddenly the community organizer / development planning company changed hands and I was left all 'WTF?'
The people who have put down roots in that neighbourhood no doubt feel comfortable there and don't have the questions I do about whether or not Inksome will be able to handle things in the long haul. They've developed relationships with each other and with the people who'll become the new staff.
I understand that.
And yet it does squat all for making me feel better about using the journal. All the changing hands reminds me of LJ. The fact that the original organizer/creator loss interest and enthusiasm, reminds me of Brad. And the possibility of another Greatestjournal - something invested in that then goes belly up a few years later, LOOMS like a fricking GIANT.
I know that GJ gave what it could while it could and that's not something to turn my nose up at. I made friends on GJ. I met people on GJ that either led me to people, or on their own have ended up becoming integral parts of my life. But Livejournal's FUCKWITTERY cost me a home. I had my LJ longer than I had and maintained my website. I had my lj longer and consistently than any other part of my online life since I came online in 1996. I know what a home online feels like. And now suddenly, LJ's asshattedness means that I need to have a city-home and country-home and a beach-home, so no matter what, there's a place for me to rest my head and breathe online.
So I understand my need to have a strong sense of stability before I commit content.
What I don't understand is what integral bit do I think is missing from Inksome that I don't feel comfortable making it one of my homes. Cause if I knew, I'd send email to the person in charge and suggest they do something so others who feel like I do would feel more welcome/soothed/SOMETHING.
But I don't know what's missing. I just feel like something is. And it's frustrating.

Livejournal user/ SUPPORT TEAM MEMBER the_cynic is an asshole and someone who apparently has not yet learned that LJ has PR people f or a reason and only those people should interact with users.
The_lj_herald combs a bunch of communities a day to keep users up to date. They mentioned a KNOWN ISSUE. the_cynic takes offense and gets pissy about:
a) Them copying and pasting the answer
b) Them listing it as a "known" issue
c) Them apparently misinforming and causing more work for the Support Team because they take something that only "10" users had a problem with and label it as a KNOWN ISSUE when real known issues are listed in a box at the top of the general support page.
Here's one quote:
the_cycnic "Please to not be copying my Support replies and posting them here as if you know what the important issues of the day are. We frown on answer copying in Support, so why should you be able to do so in your little pseudo-informative news community?"
Yes ladies and gentlemen. He or she went. there.
I keep the Herald sending me announcements mainly to see what's happening with OpenID users. And I just found out that the code will be changed so that we're no longer anonymous. I already want to try it out.
But yeah, the_cynic [TRANSLATED VIA THE WILLOW LEXICON] ... "My failing brings all the boys to the yard and they're like wtf is that? Yes right, wtf is that? They'd ask me, but I might give a slap."
ETA: More gems!
the_cynic: "Or, if your friend really wanted to know what was up, they could have opened a Support request and asked."
Didn't s/he just say that too many open tickets = too much work??? The logic, it eats itself.
ETA: The herald has removed the c/p-ed answer (Did I mention the herald always links their source?). But as I am NOT the herald, I can c/p from my screencaped page. You bet your ass I capped it.
Here's the c/p of known issues the_cynic jumped the failwagon for: Some users may be unable to log in using LJ Mobile. "LiveJournal Support volunteers are aware of this issue and have escalated it to the appropriate Development resources. Since LiveJournal Mobile Client development is being handled through a third-party, it is unknown when and if this problem will be resolved." In the meantime, LiveJournal advises users to use the Mobile Site Scheme to be able to . (Source)
Oh LJ. Everytime I think I miss you, you act like an idiot and I find myself wanting to send squeaky some chocolate. (eta: apparently I missed linking - total space case this morning/now)

LIVEJOURNAL / 6APART / SUP
Also banning/preventing from showing up in interests: depression or pain. Fuller list at the top of that site. ETA: I can also no longer access journals that voluntarily flagged themselves ADULT CONCEPTS. I keep getting this page this page. Apparently unless I have a journal (checked using my old account) I'm not allowed access to such posts. While this is likely a bug, it's a badly timed bug.

1) I dreamt I was ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/openid-profile.gif) witchqueen.livejournal.com - Though it was more like, I thought about her when I woke up. The dream consisted of me watching soap operas with my aunt. And there was gayness on the screen, in terms of how one manipulative soap male character was reacting to the typical good guy. There was a sweet little peck on the lips. And then the soap villain said 'Huh, I think I'll do that again' and somehow there was a push/fall and they both ended up sprawled in a compromising position, in front of the 'villain's' house.
And I said. "Finally! European Television!" And that made me think - wait a min, I sound like witchqueen.livejournal.com
2) I turned off my floor lamp to go nap/to bed, woke up, went to turn it on. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I bought a new bulb for the damn thing less than 3 months ago. Bulbs usually last a year. I'm taking this as a sign this thing needs to be thrown out and I need to ask for an Ikea 10$ Torcherie lamp as a new home warming present - or maybe just a ride to get there.
3) Am very hungry. Treated myself to some bbq turkey wings (made at home) before bed. But looks like I'll be making seconds, or something more substantial cause OMG so much hunger. I WANT YOUR BRAINS! (*takes iron pills*)
4) Livejournal has done away with basic accounts for new users. There is only plus or paid now. They don't seem to understand that new accounts aren't always new users; archives, rpg, etc, etc, blah blah. I've been subscribed to the_lj_herald all this while, basically for news of whatever politices (if ever) LJ was going to roll out. They finally have and in doing so have taken the step to say 'Hey. This is what we want to house. This is what we don't want to host'. I think some of it is total bubkiss, but what the hey.
I think Scribblit should get it's act together cause people WILL be looking for somewhere else now. All the same, I know Squeaky's likely to handle it all just damn skippy fine. Hey, does Squeaky know what fresh BS LJ's whipped up? Someone should tell him.

No claimed id: url_fetch_error: Error fetching URL: read timeout
I use my old journal mostly to comment on delux-vivens.livejournal.com's journal. And DeadbroWalking, LKH_Lashouts + Torcherbearers, both communities that do not allow anonymous posting.
I'm not comfortable, but now being a basic account, I find I can just about tolerate my discomfort. OTOH, if LJ's newest releases are cocking up OpenID use, here comes another evaluation. And it won't take much thinking at all for me to decide to simply stop reading those three journals.
PS: Of course iJay's loading a bit slow, so it could be a problem on their end. Still....

Didn't sleep well last night. Woke up this morning with muscles semi-locked and in pain. I'm guessing sleeping while stressed does bad things to you. Made emails instead of phone calls as I'm nauseated and woke up with a headache. Need to eat soon before things get worse.
Have discovered I do NOT like it when oatmeal soaks up all the milk. Now I have to ponder those interesting recipes, of course those recipes to make oatmeal clumps etc, say put in a bowl after and add milk.
I'm listed on the apt hunting site so that some landlords contact me. That makes life a bit easier.
Still don't know what I'm doing about my mother, but I think I'm going to wait and tackle her when I don't feel little gremlins with chisels and hammers are attacking my body.
Shall also re-watch 'Curse of the Golden Flower' - dysfunctional family like whoa and a son who does the ultimate sacrifice of honor. RANDOM - If you like Hamlet you will like 'Curse of the Golden Flower'.
I borrowed 'The Rundown' to rewatch from Netflix, but The Rock didn't perk me up. I'm most surprised. Maybe I just need to watch some more and see if the combination of D. Johnson and Christopher Walken (talking about bunnies and killing people) doesn't kick in a bit later. Or I might just watch Harry Potter.
Did I mention it's raining? I'm thinking that's the cause foe feeling like my skull joints are inflamed. Fibromyalgia, buggering you up the ass when all else fails.
To those of you who commented with hugs and thoughts on prayer - I really appreciate it. Truly and sincerely, I thank you.
PS: Getting LJ Herald info about LJ is like having news bulletins to a colossal train + car + airplane wreck, in slow motion. I repeat what I've said before - 6Apart / SUP had-have no idea wtf it is they have in Livejournal. They don't get writers, they don't get slice of life, they don't get community, they don't get support networks and they don't get the concept of online villiage.
*hugs her villiage*

Just when I start feeling comfortable using my journal for comments only where I can't use openid - livejournal quite nicely reminds me of why I hate it so.
100day plan includes sucking the cock of MSN and of course adding more ads.
It's still raining and I could kill someone for cookies - as in, if they had cookies on their person, I'd let blood flow so I could get them.
I'm thinking of going back to bed

Some grumbling about how livejournal is bass ackwards and stupid.
Google Blogger has flagging and warning pages for some journals. The text looks like this:
______________Content Warning Some readers of this blog have contacted Google because they believe this blog's content is objectionable. In general, Google does not review nor do we endorse the content of this or any blog. For more information about our content policies, please visit the Blogger Terms of ServiceI understand and I wish to continue / I do not wish to continue __________________ Do note the 'I wish to continue'. Do note the link to the TOS. Do note the 'other people have decided this journal has objectionable content - we don't know, we don't look, we don't judge, here's our TOS'. Now for SUCK....JOURNAL______________Adult Content Notice The content that you are about to view could contain adult concepts which may not be suitable for minors. To continue, you must confirm that you are at least 14/18 years of age. Yes I am at least 14/18 years of age ______________First there's that word adult. On the internet the word adult usually means porn when placed beside the word content. When you throw an age verification statement in there, how much more porntastic does whatever the eff behind the click yes look? A whole lot , I think. A whole damn lot. ( More grumblings - If people are warning me about their stuff, I'd like to see their specific warnings please, not your generic piece of sh*t )

So some of you on my flist have constantly flocked posts, and when I go to read more, or reply, I end up being told I have to log in to see the post.
Fair enough.
I realize it might make my life easier for the sake of that, to be logged in at LJ using my OpenID.
But then I started thinking about does that then mean I should use my OpenID flist. While pondering that I go to check out possible styles and HOLY SHIT. What mass of confusion if the customize space? W. T. F?
How do you find Expression styles?
WTF is this 'Animals, Patterns, Warm Colours' shit? This doesn't tell me anything about the style I want. And how do you customize colours afterwards? Are they doing away with the ability to personalize journals?
WTF?
What. THE. FUCK!?
Yes, yes, I'm gone from LJ. But WTF?
It used to be easy to tell (via pull down) which themes you could use with OpenID and which you could not. I can't tell now. It says 'Apply Theme' but when I do, everything is all white and acting like I'm not allowed to use that theme using OpenID.
WTF?
WTCustomerServiceBuggeryFuck?
How the hell are y'all over in Ljland finding anything?
*rubs chest* Ow.
That's just not needed.
Also what about dial up users? How the fuck are they supposed to do anything with having to load pictures unnecessarily? I thought they'd heard how much that non-intuitive piece of shit feature change had sucked and changed it back. Guess not.
Shit.
Seriously - SHIT.
It's fucked up beyond all telling, that iJay feels more like the LJ I remember than LJ does. Holy shit. Holy bug fuck shit. *hugs iJay. Hugs it hard. Hugs it long. Satisfies it orally*
ETA:
Livejournal: Do not attempt to adjust your screen. We are controlling transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. Sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear.
Outer Limits TV: Oh no you didn't bitch!

Livejournal lost my interest in using their services back in July. I quit livejournal because of its policies and lack of customer service. I have no intention of returning. The chance to keep me happy is long gone.
I want my account to convert to basic and I may use it only to comment where OpenID won't work. Though I hope not to use it at all.
Last I checked I did not have automatic payments turned on. I expect for my expiration date to come and pass without being charged anything - because automatic payments ARE NOT TURNED ON. This was a problem also in July and August.
No Longer Your Customer,

the_willow.insanejournal.com + the-willow.insanejournal
There's a difference in openID between an underscore and a hyphen. I've now officially put an email address to both OpenID's and claimed them as mine. It's odd because the verification goes to the same journal over here on iJay but livejournal doesn't recognize them as being the same URL.
But head's up to anyone with a - or _ in their username. If you've been having wtf's over openID being consistent, this may be why.
Also, on Livejournal my accounts are
1. ext_59120 *
2. ext_60367
So if you want to reference me you may go < lj user = " ext_59120 " > or < lj user = " ext_60367 " >
*(the one with people friended)
ETA: Notes on friending this iJay on Livejournal.

I have spent an hour trying to get feedreader to subscribe me to certain lj's but only using certain tags. Feedreader's tags and my concept of tags via lj are not alike. I've also tried to get it to subscribe using certain text in the body. I thought this was a sneaky win, but the tags don't show up in the body. They show up as tags, that I can't delete or modify or wtfever.
Feedreader has left me feeling dumb.
Dumb as rocks in crocks being boiled alive.
I'm fed up (and still cold) and so I guess that will be that for now at least.
I've also deleted some people. Their feeds aren't set to full, so all I ever see is the title. I then have to go to Eljay to see if I'm even allowed to see the entry - as feedreader has no way to designated flocked posts. All in all it's frustrating and time consuming. I sent out email this past weekend asking people if they'd switch to full sync. Those that did, I'm keeping.
Life's too short, and mine's currently complicated by all sorts of BS, to add other frustrations and irksomes.

Friends, Romans, Countrywomen,
Lend me your ears. I come to discuss Insanejournal and to praise it.
Permanent Accounts $35 Dec 3 to Dec 10.
Year Paid Service $15 Dec 3 to Dec 10.
_____
I am now seriously peering at my budget. Squeaky has stated that iJay's been around for 6 yrs and he's never been in any talks to sell it.
Personally I think the man keeps watching livejournal, shaking his head and going 'More money for me'. And I don't blame him.

Just once I wish something would happen on livejournal, that I hear about from someone still on livejournal, that made me go "oooh cool."
Yeah, I'm done freaking out now. (OMG LIVEJOURNAL UNPLUGGED. BRAIN DEAD) But I'm not done being wary of what's going to happen to my friends still over there.
--
The LiveJournal Advisory Board will publish and update on a regular basis a clear a set of aims and values. This will address such vital community issues as privacy, security, taste and decency*. It will also provide a forum to consider any relevant legal, political or religious concerns*. It will also focus on access issues including usability, technology, interoperability, open source, social graph, and more. The LJ Advisory Board will also take responsibility for overseeing all ongoing charitable work;
(*My Emphasis)
--
Brad's back and people are hell of excited about that. But he's on an Advisory Board. Yeah he understands how LJ works; writer wise, community wise. But what kind of power are people really thinking he'll have?
And what about the fact that SUP basically just bought Russia's Free Press; because that's apparently how ZheZhe (livejournal) is seen over there. Blogging equals free speech.
I realize that with laws passed against critisizing the war in Iraq, things in the US doesn't seem much different anymore, but they are. Sliding towards a point isn't living in it.
The flagging option, coming just before the announcement and the consistent lack of TOS policy term definitions just make me go 'Wah?"
So I want to believe that El-jay's been bought by a company that knows what it is and how to use it. I want to believe that 6Apart squeezed LJ for all the money they could, not really caring about how to even utilize what it'd bought other than as a cow to stamp ads on - and that 6Apart has now moved on and El-Jay will be ok.
But I can't. Yeah yeah, I posted all shocked and OMG and caps. But when has 6apart ever done anything in regards to livejournal that was well thought out, appropriate and even 50% accepted. And then there's the fact that Stewardess called it! She effing called the Unidentified Financial Opportunity.
What about the reasonable theories other people had or even just their analysis of who and what livejournal and its users are? What about all the ways to do wrong they listed that 6apart continued to do?
And then there's feeling like not only could 6apart not admit livejournal was an experiment and they had no clue about the difference between a social networking blogging forum vs regular blogging - it feels like they never tried. They copied a few ideas onto Vox and that made Vox users happy, so they tried to give livejournal what they gave Vox and then ended up ignoring the userbase like someone who was never meant to be a parent, ignoring a crying child.
Just... there was nothing there that said 'We want to take care of you, consumers.'
I keep thinking about how Livjournal is (?, was?) filled with independent thinkers. If people wanted not to create and enjoy community, they'd be else where. If they wanted random polls and popularity contests, they'd be on Myspace. If they wanted to be spoonfed ideas on what to writer about and how to write it and how to even use their journal (wysiwyg editors for simple html commands) then they'd be on VOX.
I couldn't and can't imagine how they could look at a product created by a geek, originally supported by geeks, that for the most part embraces and utilized geeky options - tiny little art pictures for your icons are GEEKY! - and not think, this is a niche market, let us do some niche market things.
And now here's SUP. And the whole thing is badly handled from the beginning. People are raw from the flags. Sexual abuse survivors are edgy. People who write realistic slices of their lives are edgy. The whole vagueness behind the concept of 'adult concepts' has people on edge. The fact that journals tagged adult content or adult concepts have RSS/ATOM feeds that can't be found, has people edgy. And then there's this.
I'm paranoid enough to wonder if there is no rss glitch and that by self labelling as adult concepts (which is most things in live that don't involve pre-school and Barney) you are meant to be shutting down anyone else's access to your 'objectionable content'. Either they get a journal to read it, or they don't read it.
Anyway, I'm all thought and talked out now. I want chocolate and something interesting to watch for an hour or so. And yeah, I need to figure out where I'm staying and buying the most journals.

I've kept going "BUT LIVEJOURNAL IS ABOUT WRITERS.
Now it seems like Russia is well aware of the writers and the sense of community. LJ's been BOUGHT (bought and sold once again) by SUP. Yeah, those guys Russian ElJay-ers keep freaking out about.
There's news and a community set up just to talk about it all.
Meanwhile I'm just going - So the Snap Previews requiring non porn/erotic things ....
And this comes on the tail end of the new "I THINK YOU ARE CONTROVERSIAL AND OBSCENE" flag release.
Is it dramatic to say that ElJay's officially dead? Cause I don't care how emo/ outrageous that makes me sound. Livejournal HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED.
I feel stupid and ignorant for not realizing that Livejournal = Blogging in Russia. And now Russia owns it and can control it and monitor it and censor it.
Dude.. I just... MIND is BLOWN.
Can someone please point Diane Duane, Holly Black, Greg Rucka, Paul Dini, Naomi Novik, all the Torquere Press Writers and others to Scribblit and IJay please?
ETA PARANOIA: Does this mean it's not a glitch or a bug that once your journal is tagged adult concepts etc, it can no longer be utilized through a feed? Ie, the rss an atom aren't found?

I can't add your rss feeds to feedreader now that LJ's gone and done it's arsewipe 'Adult Content' blah blah blah's.
I'd been reading some of you on the site, or occasionally using my openid as an aggregator on lj. Now that I realize, I'm not going to their site for more than the few moments it takes to comment (if I don't email instead) I CANNOT ADD YOUR RSS FEEDS.
If you've decided to label your journal adult - I CAN NO LONGER FIND YOUR RSS FEED.
I can't find it. Feedreader can't find it. It's BLOCKED!

I want to write in Seeking Avalon.
I want to write about how a love for comics led me to animation.
I want to write about how focusing solely on superhero comics, as much as I love them, had caused me to lose squee.
I want to write about trying to split myself in twain, and discovering I-don't-bend-that-way.
I want to write about how muck I like the bright coloured inked art of comics and cartoons, anime and manga.
I want to write about how I'm at a place to start looking for names; artists, colourists, writers, publishers, etc.
I want to write about where the Big Two can look to for ideas about superheroines without hiring Jodi effing-never-did-a-scifi-thing-before-in-her-life Picout and thus messing up Wonder Woman (her series).

LJ user Ephemera got me Early Contributor status/account at Scribblit.
I'm awed, grateful and excited.
I am still, however, going to try and save up to get a permanent account here. But I might wait until it's 30$ and buy 6 months time in the meantime. And I will crosspost like whoa, cause Scribblit will likely be lonely too, but most importantly there I people I know and like on here.
But it is good to feel like I've had the chance not to make a choice about my options and I'm not just floundering around lost and bewildered without Eljay, which right now sounds like a corny spanish abridge for 'El Jackasso'.

Livejourna's feeds have not been properly updating to my newsreader. I missed news of Tsuki_no_bara's family death and when Viridian5 went in for her newest medical procedure.
My extra icons expired on the 4th. But that's no reason for them to screw me over and this was happening days before that - plus extra icons are not paid usership which goes till Jan 2008.

Snap?
On livejournal?
Fuck.
I didn't want to delete my journal there. It's a record of five and some years of my live, ups and downs, progress and triumphs. But I do not want anyone stumbling onto my site and having to deal with any sort of crap.
So what's my next step? Flocking it so people who didn't migrate can still read the archives but there's no easily accessible content? Pulling everything down, my banner - everything?
It really goads me that even though I've left, there's linked content there to do with racism and mental health that may be used to shill to people.
This is why even links were verboten on El-jay for sure. Because Snap might bring a pop-up picture of potentially not PG Rated stuff that would then technically be hosted on livejournal.
Jezebel Fornicating Crown. You can't even walk away from the damn place because they might be plastering ads and other crap over your half-abandoned baby.
I should change fuckwiterry07 to fuckwittery o giant proportions.
ETA: Oh yeah and then there's the part where there's a glitch (or something) turning auto-payment on.
