BUZZ BUZZ Once There Was...

now you get to hear ME whine about strikethrough2007. joy.

i'm not gonna go into any kind of details or post links or anything. i'm just PISSED. and i don't know who to be properly pissed at. the wfi people? (btw, don't go to their site, they've got it crawling with spyware.) LJ? 6apart? where can i focus my RAGE and my EFFORTS, DAMMIT!?!


and... what do i do for a back-up plan?

i had only just gotten a web-community here on lj up and running and clicking along with happy clams. But... It contains fiction. Often erotic fiction. um... Lj's policies are not reassuring on that front.

Do i find another journal site and make an account to reserve my username and the username of the community? Just wait for lj to fuck things up beyond forgiveness THEN transfer over fully? Do I go NOW so as to show lj just how upsetting this is? Do i wait until my paid accounts expire?

WHERE are all my friends going? I wanna keep up with them... and if they go, why the hell am i HERE? What are the user agreements for THOSE OTHER journals? Will we get dicked there?


BAH!

( then there's THIS:: a MOST comprehensive list of FUN links which i know i said i wouldn't post, but i guess i lied b/c these are the things preying on my mind, so you get'em too. )

NEW STUFFand hopefully the end of it...
