For the record, I am now keelieinblack at Journalfen, InsaneJournal, and GreatestJournal. I can't jump ship from LJ entirely as a significant portion of my flist is staying, and I've had a permanent account since 2002, so I might as well keep using their server space until they decide to boot all of fandom off. But some of the flist is moving, too, and I can't commit to one alternative journalling service because they're all moving to different ones. So there has been a lot of friending of people's shiny new journals, since if I don't do it now then in two months I will have forgotten who moved where. Please think of me as a harmless lurker fangirl and not a creepy stalker.
(I feel extremely weird about having the minutiae of my fannish life spread out across four sites, though; I know I'm not that interesting.)
In non-LJ-is-stupid matters, a meme, ganked from ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) 1crowdedhour and originally from Smart Bitches, Trashy Books: Compile a short list of books specifically meant to help somebody understand you. These are not (necessarily) non-fiction books that catalogue your particular disorders or quirks, but books that especially resonate with you, that express a facet of you in book form.
( meme meme meme )
I wonder how this meme would work in reverse--that is, you make other people tell what books they associate with you.
Tried to listen to cheerful music yesterday and ended playing non-stop Bessie Smith instead. If you'd like to feel just as gloomy as I did, have a song:
Bessie Smith - 'T Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do
there ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say
that folks don't criticize me
but I'm goin' to do just as I want to anyway
and don't care if they all despise me
The first few verses are actually kind of positive in that going-to-hell-in-a-handbasket kind of way, but it gets soul-grindingly depressing near the end. It's the blues, what do you expect?
