Back when Strikethrough was happening, I started using Semagic, and found instructions on how to use it to post to more than one journal at once. Of course, I forgot how to set it up, and the directions I'd bookmarked were on Greatestjournal. I have a new computer and I'd like to be able to simulpost; does anyone know how I can set that up again?

Thanks in advance!

ETA: Copious thanks to whiteserpent and tephra!

So I changed my layout again. This time it's a layout by thefulcrum on LJ. I like it so far. Who knows? I may keep it for a while...Sure. XD

Go see it here: hana_ginkawa

I also keep thinking about changing the name of my journal to trichstrprocess. The name Hana Ginkawa is such a part of me that I wonder if I would hate the change after a while. So, I think I'll hold off. Think about it some more. And, I probably won't. But the thought always crosses my mind.

I've been catching up on Heroes, thanks to the gift of Season 2 from my parents for Christmas. Then I can catch up on Season 3. Yay!

Beyond high winds and possible rain, there really isn't anything else to talk about right now.

Here's how you make a Penrose triangle.

Small wank brought to you by wank_report and baristas.

Guy, supposedly, leaves guitar at Starbucks. Guy comes back and has an exchange with wrything_worms.

( starbucks is not your storage unit dumbass )

wrything_worms decides to keep the guitar (HEY, FREE GUITAR, GAIZ!) after Guy doesn't come back for it and post the supposedly totally true tale here. Mixed reaction occurs with a lot of "you suck" and the dreaded C word gets thrown into play. Some people agree because the customer was trying to take advantage.
wrything_worms then flounces and passive-agressively recants keeping the guitar in a second post to prove to all those nasty people calling wrything_worms an asshole just how much of a non-asshole wrything_worms is.

( how to be legendary )

Naturally, more drama unfolds, but a lot of people agree that the cunt comment was uncalled for.

Someone asks an important question: Wait, how did he get the guitar there if he was riding a bike?
my reference to british people was merely referring to the fact that a great many of them use the word 'cunt' like any other word, therefore taking away from it's power Or how personal journal trolling is the classy thing to do.
When he comes to get it, fuck with his head!

Edit: What exactly can you get from starbucks that's $1.55 anyways?

Remember the massive wankstorm that happened when LJ had problems with breastfeeding in default icons?

Get ready for round two. This time, it's Facebook's turn in the barrel.

(I'm borrowing a friend's computer. Much more links when I get home.)

ETA: Okay, I lose for rushing to print too quickly -- back when I was leafing through it at a friend's house, this looked much bigger and wankier than it does now. Well, it still looks big and wanky, but a good deal less entertaining. Anyway, in a too-little-too-late bid to lessen my fail a little...

The Facebook petition. From here, there are about 1500 discussion threads, but the highlights include...

Breastfeeding hurts. Not the first thing I'd think of if I was reading a magazine and found two pages stuck together, but then, I'm not in marketing.

Another petition, this time directed at Obama. Incudes abortion wank. ("Obama couldn't possibly give a shit about breastfeeding rights, he's pro-child murder!")

Aw, damn, there's no funny in that.

Meet Harlan. He doesn't see the big deal, and thinks breastfeeding should be done privately. Obviously, lots of people disagree with him: "You don't own my breasts," "mind your own business," "breastfeeding is not sexual," and... what do you mean, I have to be logged in to go past the first page?

Okay, I give up. Bring on your tomatoes and admonitions to lurk moar.

So, my LJ Login Firefox add-on is borked, and I think it happened when I DLed the most recent version. :(

Is there any place where I can find an earlier version of this add-on? I couldn't find it on Mozilla's main site or on LJ Login's main site.

This might get confusing. Bear with me.

A guy named Boner posts a gripping story on the DDR Freak forum about a mysterious girl he met at a concert. Things were perfect, until it turned out she had terminal cancer and would soon die. Or did she? His story unfolded in the typical fake internet death manner: sudden trips to the hospital, calls from third parties, shady pasts, crazy exes. Boner used fake names and locations to hide his own identity, fearing for himself. You see, "Stacy" was a wanted felon in her home state and had been convicted for forgery, bad checks to the tune of $60,000, and theft. There's also something about an ex-boyfriend who had his lawn destroyed.

Some people are sympathetic, some are skeptical. Boner's details don't all seem to mesh, and there is discussion about whether he is lying or whether his attempt to change names and location is the cause for inconsistency. And why would the girl use her own name instead of going by an alias? Much of this discussion happens on Reddit, once they pick up the story: see here, here, and here, for example (there's sort of NSFW ACSII art of a naked girl in the full comments). To add to this, people on the DDR forum find old posts from Boner stating that he had just met a great girl at a concert. Was he planning this for months, or was he really being conned?

The internet detectives, never to be outdone, find a Utah woman who matches Boner's description. Apparently this is the girl, because Boner updates his story with different names and places. She's no longer Stacy from a Motorhead concert, but Kari from a Girl Talk concert, and she's from Utah, not Nebraska, and her crazy ex is Jacen, not Jason. Her SLCPD Most Wanted info is discovered, as well as an argument between Kari's ex who had his lawn destroyed—or whose friend's lawn was destroyed...or something—and one of her friends.

So in the end, it seems that Boner almost got boned by a pro, and not in the good way.
