harrylovesron pinged me on the userpics meme, which goes like zis: I will choose seven userpics from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are using them.

Only it also has the Pass It On part that I didn't include here because I'm about to leave on vacation and I don't know how interacty I'll have time to be today/this week.

( Cut for ze icons )

...that isn't me complaining about LJ being down.

( interview memeness )

People? The server is robust. We know this. If your only purpose for commenting on the post that's currently displaying said robustitude by taking the site down every five minutes is to make a comment saying that the server is see above, could you maybe NOT?

It'd be nice to read the actual discussion without scrolling past 900 pointless reiterations of a joke that, while still funny, has a twice-per-wank limit before I start rolling my eyes. It'd be nice to be able to read the discussion at all.

So when the "Where am I?" link won't load, that's a pretty decent indication you're on filet mignon, yes?

*kicks LJ*

Ah well. Cold is LJ outages are God's way of telling us to burn more Catholics work on that damned vid.

Squidge down too? AieeeeeeeWTF? Dear universe, you're going to make me get on AIM again, aren't you.

LJ being a devon for all, or just me? *paranoid*

ETA: Worldwide devonosity. Something of a relief, I suppose. But pooey!

Look, if you keep being a buttmunch, you'll just make us write more badfic. And this time it'll be CHATFIC. And Angel will be MightyMousse1753, because Spike set up his Trillian account. And he'll be talking in the chatty-room to TinyBlondeSlayer1 and not figure out who it is. Also Andrew will get pregnant. Via Kazaa. And people will get slapped with trouts. A lot.

Don't make us do it, LJ. You know we will. Do you want to be responsible for that?

Dudes - the deletion? Funny. As a five minute prank.

The wank about the deletion? Not funny.

The complaining about ZR undeleting? Not funny, and wanky as hell.

The "plans for the community" made by mods and not shared with the community? Beyond the scope of what the mods were ever intended to do, and again, wanky as hell.

And if y'all can't see that, then what are you doing in the community?


(Mind you if all the mod-wank is joke-wank, then... as a meta-joke, funny, but too tiring and boring to make me laugh much at the moment.)

That was funny.

Hee! Ok, it was funny for three minutes. Then it was very, very boring for about four hours. Now it is funny again.


Ok, bored now.


Not pissed, just bored. Joke (and attendant joke-wank, and attendant real-wank from people taking it seriously, etc.) not funny enough to exceed boredom level.

ETA: *especially* on a day when LJ is being a total douchebag.

Never flip directly from The Brini Maxwell Show to TV Land on a night when they're playing Electro Woman and DynaGirl.

Not only do I have no idea what decade I'm in, but I have no idea if I'm real or just a piece of snarky meta-commentary on whichever decade that might be.

*flips to Stargate*

By the way: little people live in my computer! They move, and make noise!

In saner terms, I finally got the cable signal split and a line run over the roof and upstairs to the office. I can watch tv *and* be at the computer! There's a chance I'll actually pick up a fandom besides Angel in the next ten years.

Mind you, running the cable was a comedy of errors involving:

Getting the office window open. Hitting my head on the sash several times, because I am nothing if not the reincarnation of an Abbottless Costello. Or possibly a Costello with too many Abbotts.

Tying various heavy objects to the end of the cable that needed to go across the back roof and down to the ground. Including a mostly empty bottle of tequila (slipped off, rolled off the roof, smashed), a water bottle filled with vanilla vodka (well, it was the only liquid upstairs. And I reclaimed it. After it slipped off and rolled off the roof and didn't smash), and a water bottle filled with, er. Water. (Got smart and taped the cord to it. Finally managed to get it to roll off the roof. And not smash.)

Going downstairs and outside to clean up the remains of the tequila bottle and reclaim my elf (vanilla) vodka. Using pliars to unscrew the cable company's cable from the original box because *damn* did they not want normal humans to split that signal. (To more than one TV. The shame! I r pirate!)

Attaching everything up, coming back inside, ignoring the baleful glare of roommate who has unresolved "If you don't have to come downstairs everytime you want to watch live tv, we'll never spend any time together" issues, putting VCR/computer setup back together from its post-ConneXions disarray, and.... coming online to find out everyone's already gone to bed because they all live on Eastern Daylight, the buggers.

But little people live in my computer!

Someone sent a fanfic - to the Archives & Archivists professional listserv.

Now mind you, it's a parody of The Apprentice using archivists, and is on-topic. Nobody mailed their bodyswapping twinkink fisting slash to the archives listserv by mistake. (Damn the luck.) But still to open up my work e-mail and see "FF-[title]" as a subject line...

Also, she just outed herself as a fan. Wonder if anybody else on the list will pick up on that and comment...

(Posting here mostly because I'm doing Blank Verse Blog Week on my LJ, and this story would not scan. Yes, I tried.)

Dudes, our show just got canceled yesterday. Give us a day to be shitty about it before you start fucking well trolling for wank. [keyboardmashoneoneshiftoneexclamationpoint]

ETA: I don't actually think "Have you seen any flamewars, as I expect it to begin spurting any moment now" is a terrible thing. Though it feels like a bit of a sucker punch in this case, I recognise that it's because this is my fandom, and my friends, and I'm oversensitive right now. It's the alleged wank that's being scraped up in response to it that feels like trolling -- and I mean that in the sense of scraping the bottom to find something that qualifies as wanky, not in the sense that there's an actual troll who's baiting people.

If one more person talks about breaking a jurisimprudence law, as opposed to invoking it, or slaps someone with a law when it doesn't apply, or acts as if any internet laws have binding force beyond "These are some things we have observed about human nature..." I may be forced to...grit my teeth in impotent annoyance, pretty much.

Please stop being on my side...

Will I ever use this journal for more than commenting on fandom_wank and bitching about how LJ is a gigantoriffic poopyhead?

Magic 8-Ball says not sure, ask again later.

Ha! I am not a fandom_wank BNF. Whee! I think.
