That sound you heard was the muttering of a thousand fangirls, whom upon LJ's absence have decided to finally crack their heretofore-exclusively-for-fandom_wank JournalFen account and are now poking at the entry pages, going "well what the hell does this doohickey do?"
Yes, I realize it's the exact same source code as livejournal. It does not change the fact that I miss my livejournal. I miss my friendspage and my filters and my comments and my icons and I even miss the stupid "ms" at the end of my livejournal account name because "linzee" is already taken by some melodramatic girl who only posts once every six months. You do not realize how much of the fannish experience is concentrated on that one little website until it all goes POOF, y'know? I keep compulsively checking livejournal.com without even thinking about it, wanting to post this and that and the other and not being able to because it is not THERE.
This is totally like that episode of Nickelodeon's "Doug," where Doug loses his journal and has to write on notebook paper and a coloring book and toilet paper. I feel like that - like I'm writing on toilet paper waiting for my journal to come back to me. No offense against JF - I love JF, it brings me wank and joy - but it is not livejournal. I suspect if my layout and all my friends moved to JF it could be LJ, but...well, hopefully the time will never come for that to happen.
But yup. No livejournal. No livejournal at all. I'm getting twitchy - I feel like a drug addict. Is there a twelve-step program for this? Or am I going to have to open up a text file and start writing my thoughts frantically into it, hoping to copy/paste into livejournal at a later date and wondering for a brief panicked moment where the option to friendslock Word is?
This is crazy. I might have to do something drastic, like get off the computer early tonight. Or sleep. Oh God, I might have to sleep. And if this doesn't let up, tomorrow? I might even have to go outside. I hear they have this thing called "sunlight" now - it sounds crazy, but I might have no choice but to try it. Things will get wild, people. Chaos will abound if Livejournal doesn't come back. All those poor bored fangirls, having to peek out of their homes and step out into the harsh light of day, blinking dazedly and bumping into things as their eyes strain to adjust to a world outside the monitor...absolute disorder, I tell you.
