I feel like I'm on the wrong plane of existence today

[skoosiepants]

So is insanejournal the prefered exodus journal if anything happens to LJ? If you have one, I'd appreciate you either dropping me a line with your username or friending me over there - same name as here, I'm easy like that.

I've backed up both this journal and dirtytrousers with LJarchive, and I'm going to try and back up my communities, too, but those aren't as important.

Enough depressing news!

Um. I don't have anything else to say, though.

Except I had exceptionally vivid dreams last night, some about Mike Doughty, and one about Merlin who worked in a coffee shop with Jon Walker - it took on fic proportions, where Jon kept asking Merlin if he knew this guy (Arthur), sitting alone at a table, because when he ordered he had a funny accent like Merlin's, and Merlin kept insisting that not all British people knew each other, and then Jon was like, but you know Gwen, and Merlin just gives him this you're slightly dim, right, your mother dropped you on your head a lot look. And then I don't know what else happened. Wierd, weird dreams.

I'm emmuzka in IJ, too. and this reminds me to save my "edit friends"-page; I don't have my friends list saved anywhere outside lj and if the end would ever come, I hardly could remember who all were on it.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

oh, that's an excellent idea about saving the edit friends page, I didn't even think of that!

[saint-sorrows.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's whacked out.

I just wanted to say hi! :D

Thanks for the add. xo.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*laughs* welcome aboard :) I <3 Gerard!

[iamiamamachine.livejournal.com]

lj is dying?
WHAT IS THIS MADNESS I HEAR?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

they just fired like 13 people? I don't know if anything worse will happen, but I just want to be safe

[sparkfrost.livejournal.com]

I am on IJ! I am SparkFrost, same as here. I'll be backing up my LJ tonight and from now on will probably crosspost just to be safe.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

excellent! I think I might crosspost too - if I can figure out how to do it easily :)

[fitofpique.livejournal.com]

Ugh, eljay! I really do not care to go through this again!

I added you on ij, just in cases :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I'm really hoping nothing will come if it, but it's better to be safe I suppose!

[kirana-44.livejournal.com]

I am on IJ, same username, kirana_44.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

excellent!

[1001cranes.livejournal.com]

that dream is ACE. <333

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

it's almost like I should actually write it, except there's not much point to it beyond Jon being slow.

[iamsupernova.livejournal.com]

I hope nothing happens to LJ! (I'm iamsupernova over at IJ, too, though.)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I will cry if it goes away!

[incoherenteye.livejournal.com]

I'm over there as incoherenteye as well.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

excellent!

[shiny-starlight.livejournal.com]

I'm shiny_starlight on insanjournal and on greatestjournal too. Not much imagination, me :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

cool! it's best to go with what everyone knows, I feel :)

[vixalicious]

I'm on IJ too - I friended you there. I don't think LJ will go away really, but it never hurts to be prepared!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

that's what I figured - I don't want to be left behind just in case :)

[bluelittlepig.livejournal.com]

I just friended you over there. Same name as here.

That is an awesome dream. Sounds like it could become quite hilarious.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

yay!

It was such a detailed dream! I must have been thinking about Merlin as I fell asleep or something

[ladybeth.livejournal.com]

I'm Ladybeth on Insane Journal. Its close to LJ so I think thats why we are moving there. Somewhere simular but without the drama.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

excellent! I really hope nothing happens to LJ though :)

[stele3.insanejournal.com (from livejournal.com)]

IJ is most definitely the preferred exodus place...however, speaking as someone who moved off LJ over a year ago after Strikethrough 2007 and has watched people get all flustered by subsequent scares (Boldthrough, no more Basic accounts, ads, etc) only to settle right back into their normal habits, I can practically guarantee that nothing will come of it. I kept expecting more people to move with me, but it's never happened. (Watch this, NOW is the time when I'll be wrong.)

I would still strongly advise backing up your LJ and using Semagic to post simultaneously to both LJ and IJ, so that if you DO lose your LJ, you've got an immediate backup. If you need absolutely any help doing that, let me know, I'm an old hand.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right and nothing happens - I would be so sad to see LJ go! And I'm definitely going to have to look into Semagic and see if I can handle it, because that would be pretty cool!

[gweneiriol.livejournal.com]

I'm gweneiriol on IJ.

one about Merlin who worked in a coffee shop with Jon Walker - it took on fic proportions, where Jon kept asking Merlin if he knew this guy (Arthur), sitting alone at a table, because when he ordered he had a funny accent like Merlin's, and Merlin kept insisting that not all British people knew each other, and then Jon was like, but you know Gwen, and Merlin just gives him this you're slightly dim, right, your mother dropped you on your head a lot look.

This would SO make an awesome fic! Can you imagine Spencer and Arthur just sitting around talking? OMG! Thanks for sharing your dream!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

excellent!

I want Ryan to meet Merlin and they can be all gangly and awkward together!

[fleurrochard]

I'm also rather easy (aka my username on IJ and most everything else is also fleurrochard).

and one about Merlin who worked in a coffee shop with Jon Walker

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!
Your uncounscious tells you that my wish (you writing a Merlin/bandom crossover) is a good wish! Yes it does!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I know, really, I might actually have to write this now *shakes head* I'm so pathetic :)

[self-sustaining.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I couldn't find a dl of LJ-Archive that would work on my computer. wtf.

But, my IJ is toyamputee, and, *adding you*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I have to figure out how to post here and there simultaneously, because that would be pretty cool :)

[jezzabe.livejournal.com]

I am jezzabe on IJ. And journalfen, because that's just how i roll. :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

excellent! I have a journalfen and greatestjournal too, it's so hard to keep track! I'll probably just end up on ij

[neviditelny.livejournal.com]

Clearly, your brain is trying to give you fic ideas.

When I finish setting up my IJ, I'll still be neviditelny.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

excellent!

I know, I should really write this, if only to see where it'll go :)

[elegwen.livejournal.com]

I'm twinbaroque (I am still confused about choosing that name /o\) on IJ.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

ha! *have added*

[torakowalski.livejournal.com]

Hee, what an excellent dream!

I'm torarose on IJ and I've friended you.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I don't know what I was on, usually I can't remember any of them!

and excellent!

[veracity]

I am so imaginative that I used the same name. Though, I'm a permanent account user there. I need to back up this journal later tonight and do so weekly.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

ha, I think you were the first friend I added over there :) I need to figure out how to post to both journals at once *nods*

[nkiseki.livejournal.com]

You know what you should do about that dream? You should fic it. *shamelessly tells people to write* I'm kidding! Only a little... Though coffee boy Merlin does intrigue me.

Is LJ being all "we're making changes, suck it Jerks" again? I have an IJ (shinlynn), but I've never updated it... Though I suppose I'll move there once fandom does... I shall add when I'm not using library computers.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I know, I kind of do want to actually fic it!

Apparently they fired a bunch of people and there's noise about it not being cost effective or something - hopefully it will come to nothing!

[poetrychik.livejournal.com]

I'm poetrychik on IJ, same as here and I friended you there! :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

yay!!

[newbietheater.livejournal.com]

I had a greatest journal, but I can't remember the username for the life of me.

So I joined insanejournal, just in case things really are moving that way, but I doubt I'll use it since it's my easily tracked username (same one I use everywhere, including rl email).

I'm thykingdomgone, I already friended you.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I have a greatestjournal and journalfen, too, but I stuck to the same name for all of them so I wouldn't get lost :)
