I do not have the time, energy or desire to deal with LJ's latest fuck-up. Simply put, my privacy is extremely important to me. My LJ is largely flocked for a number of reasons, one of the primary ones being my career. While my LJ does reflect a lot of my rl, I do not want it connected with my fb and twitter. Suffice to say, i will never crosspost material from anyone else's journal, including my comments. I respectfully request that you extend me the same courtesy. That being said, I do have a DW account (I'm inspiredlife there too) but don't have any plans to move there. I've been on LJ a long time and am, for the most part, happy here.

If you'd like to prevent accidental cross posting, here's a link to the Greasemonkey script that gets rid of the FB/twitter buttons in the comment box.

In other news, September is traditionally a difficult month for me. There's a lot of sadness for me and it's been made worse these past few years as it's become the time that my idyll with Mish ends. In keeping with my post from Monday, I'd like to try to find positive things each day. They'll probably be small, silly things but look for a da: ily dose of happy from me. And, if you don't see one...call me on it. (though not until the night - given my current work situation they will be later in the day).

Today's daily dose of happy:
So, posting began the other day on one of the Merlin bb's,

paperlegends. I haven't actually had time to read any of the stories yet but I had the absolute joy of beta-ing

nieded's wonderful story, A Personal History of Midwestern Running. A modern high school au, the story tracks the journey Arthur and Merlin take when Arthur starts coaching Merlin in running. It's a completely believable take on the drama and angst every teenager faces and she's written absolutely wonderful characters. I don't even know what else to say about this story because I just love it to bits. It's very much been a happy thing these last few weeks.

Alright. Off to rustle up some supper.

eta: I'm so behind on comments, it's absurd. thanks for all wonderful comments over the past few weeks. they've been greatly appreciated even if i'm lame and didn't acknowledge them. <3

ugh, I can´t believe they still haven´t posted any response to the hundred or so pages of freaking out users. I mean... they can´t actually all be dumb as bricks, can they?

That said, you have a good plan. And I´ll try my best to help. You know, in the mornings :)

Also, that fic really was wonderful. Thank god for it, yeah?

I haven't bothered to check if they've replied to the massive amount of complaints and DNW. But, it looks like a couple of friends have posted codes, etc for removing it. I'll pass it on you this weekend so we can check it out. :)

I'm trying, bb. And, I welcome your help. I think you'll like tonight's post.

So much yay for it!

Nope, nothing. Well, they posted a wee little ETA except it´s not a real one and very hard to miss - and instead DW is staggering under the influx of new LJ people. I dunno, I just imported my journal to over there. We´ll see what happens now. And, I saw a code to hard code it out of your layout - it´ll still remain there for people on your journal viewing in default or their own layout. I am so, so unimpressed by LJ right now :/

I did (well, except the part about no dinner, etc). I´m sorry you´re so homesick though, my love :(
