Being a newspaper brat, this column always holds a special place in my heart and it just doesn't seem like Christmas without it. Hope you and yours have a wonderful week no matter what you celebrate!

02:34 pm: Happy Birthday Suki!

Happy birthday to my Suki! hop you have a great day love!

04:39 pm: Announcements! And later on I'll have pr0n!
A couple things! I just want to remind everyone on all the journal sites that I'm only posting my fics over on my Insane Journal. The reason why I'm saying this is because I actually have about 400 words of Pr0n to post. Not much, but better than nothing. If you're wanting, the lovely darkhavens made amejisuto_ij, a feed that will let people on live journal know when I've posted on IJ.

suki_blue and I are also opening up We Love Dick for posting, because We do love Dick.

Seriously, Nightwing is one of my favorite characters! Even if he does need Prozac.

Suki and I have also committed ourselves to an asylum. What? Y'all knew we were crazy. Seriously though, we've opened The Playground for us to post our fics and fool around. Hopefully it'll help me get rid of this nasty writer's block too.

So that's what we've been up to! That and thanking all the deities above that August is over. Or maybe that's just me.

01:38 pm: Here's a question for the guys . . .
Okay, I need to ask the guys a question, mainly because I'm curious and I don't know that many guys in real life that I'd feel comfortable asking this. At least on line y'all can't see me blushing to death.

Seriously though men, IS there some sort of secret bathroom code for gay sex? Because honestly, while women can take a freaking long time in the loo we're mainly just primping or gossiping. I mean, I'd hate it if I had some earwig of a song stuck in my head and my foot tapping would be signaling one of the ladies in the stall next to me that I want to go muff diving.

And wouldn't an airport's bathroom be just too busy for that, even the men's?

Come on guys, inquiring minds want to know!

X-posted like whoa to all my journals.

10:59 am: To my darling Kitty . . .
Hope you have a wonderful day today love!

08:30 pm: 'Cause Breaking Up Is Hard To Do . . .
I'm sorry. I just can't do it anymore. The lies, the double standards. How you'll say one thing and then turn around and contradict yourself. How you think it's all about one issue when it's NOT! How when I ask for your help you'll ignore me for days. You don't even return my calls anymore! You just don't listen to me and I can't take it!

I'm tired of worrying about what I'm going to say, and what you'll think of me. It's just too much. We'll still be friends and all but I can't have an intimate relationship with you any longer.

That's right LJ/6A. I'm breaking up with you.

Yeah, I know, I'm starting out this post with a joke but damn this whole El Jay Being An Asshat Thing is hard to deal with. I mean, they are doing all of the above! And they keep hollering about not allowing any child porn on their site they aren't even listening to the other issues that people are bringing up. It's a sad fucking state of affairs and it's true. I'm tired of worrying over it. Do you realize that canon Buffy is considered child porn by some of the El Jay people, because Buffy is under 18 at the time of Season Two? The age of consent in the State of California is 18 so if you write anything with any Buffy characters with them under 18 . . . that would be considered child porn by the EL Staff and get you your first strike.

buggery has a wonderful post here and has laid out the legal issues better than I could ever think about. There is also thread on the lj_biz's latest post where femmequixotic, pornish_pixies mod, has asked for clarification here. That was three days ago. As far as I know she hasn't heard anything solid back from the El Jay people yet.

The wonderful liz_marcs has a great post here about how she's trying to figure out if it's even safe to link to other sites. I mean, from the way El Jay has worded it, if I just link to a manip or fanart where Xander may not be 18, I can still be ToS'ed. vikingcarrot tells in her journal how she had even put that Draco was 18 in her fan art but the El Jay people decided he looked too young and gave her her First Strike.

Why the link round up? So y'all know what's going on for one thing. For another it's just a way for me to point out how illogical LJ/6A is being. For me it's stopped being just about censorship vs. child porn and has moved on to the fact that Six Apart gives crappy customer service. They don't listen to their users! In fact there has been a couple of instances where the El Jay staff has mocked fandom in open posts. Then got caught but didn't apologize, just said he was joking.

Moron.

So it is with a heavy heart I post that I've pretty much packed up and moved to my Insane Journal. Oh, I'm not leaving here, not totally. So what does this mean? It means that if you post on IJ and LJ, I'll probably answer on IJ. I'll also check that and just check LJ once or twice a day. It also means that once my paid time and icons runs out on LJ I AM NOT giving them any more money.

I've used LJ Book to back up my LJ, AND I used LJ Sec to back up my stuff to my IJ, thanks to the wonderful brown_betty's post here. Yeah, I'm too lazy to go th rough and put my fic in my memories there, or in tags but they're on my site for the most part. I've got my stuff backed up for the most part so that's of the good. That way if something happens to this journal, I won't cry.

This also means that, after Suki and I have finished posting GC, (Yeah, we're late again. Sorry but we're trying to finish it RIGHT, not on time.), I will not be posting any more fics on Live Journal.

Let me say that again, I WILL NOT be posting any more of my fiction on Live Journal, or on any server owned by Six Apart. That means that although I have a free Vox account, I'm basically just name grabbing and don't plan to do a darn thing with it. In fact the only place you'll find me posting any fic is over at my Insane Journal. Well, when my Muse gets out of it's depression. Suki's gonna help me with that.

What I WON'T be doing is disappearing from my friends and community here. Well, anymore than I normally do when I get moody and clam up. I'm just gonna . . . hang out with Tweak more than I do Frank. Because really, Tweak is just so much cooler!

And I hate doing this, I really do. I'm just SO tired of worrying over this. I was up till after 3 this morning thinking this over. I don't have a legal leg to stand on and just telling El Jay that this isn't right and is stupid doesn't cut it. So I'm doing the one thing I can do and withdrawing my support. Publicly. So while the EL Jay people talk about virtual gifts that are corporate sponsored and brains in a jar and not answer serious questions, again, I'm going to stop worrying about this stuff and see if I can write.

10:45 am: FANGIRLY SQUEEE!
Guess what's on the telly tonight after a new Doctor Who?

Flash - a-ah - savior of the universe
Flash - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Flash - a-ah - he's a miracle
Flash - a-ah - king of the impossible!

SQUEE! A new Flash Gordon! God that movie is so full of cheese you needed a pound of crackers to watch it but I love it to bits! And I'm old enough to vaguely remember the cartoon series Defenders of the Earth with one of my other favorite old heroes The Phantom. So I'm really looking forward to this new series, even though according to this article, the show has already jumped the shark.

Then again Ming isn't some icky looking bald dude in this version, but kinda looks like an older Flash . . .

Flash/Ming fics anyone?

12:38 pm: Holy Puddle of Sweat Batman!
Okay, I'm just home from the store. Right now according to my computer the temperature is 85 degrees, but with the heat index and humidity and all that jazz it feels like 103.

103 degrees Fahrenheit people!!

In metric terms that's 29 degrees and feels like 39 degrees Celsius!

OMFG! It's HOT!!

We have one small air conditioner in Mom's small bedroom. I got me a lawn chair and I'm gonna go set up camp in there so I'll be away from the computer. Because as much as I love being on the computer, I'd rather not melt into a 300+ pound tub of goo.

How much longer until fall?

03:33 pm: Le sigh . . .
Well crap. I just found out that if you don't use your icons at Greatest Journal, they go bye bye. This has NOT affected my main journal yet at GJ, but it probably will at some point in time because I have over 480 icons up over there and there's no way I'd spam y'all to use that many or talk that freaking much. A lot of them I have on my computer but a LOT of them I had up and then my computer crashed so that's the only place I have them. Looks like I'll be buying floppy disks tomorrow at the store.

What really frosts my Christmas cookies is the fact that I had an journal set up for my holiday icons. All those pretty Yule and Halloween and Thanksgiving and Valentine and . . . well I still have the Valentine and Ostara ones but my Halloween collection has gone the way of the dinos and now I'm gonna have to track those down. Again.

Bah humbug.

02:46 pm: Try this one more time ...
Okay, I didn't do this right the last time so let's try this one more time. Sorry to be clogging up your lists folks. I'll get this yet!

01:07 pm: Testing ... 1 2 3 ...
Whee! I'm just testing to see if I can get Semagic to work for me. Here goes!

11:30 pm: Whee!
Lookit me! I'm here too! Goddess, I'm everywhere aren't I? LOL
