When my granddad moved in with us a few months ago, my dad had to clean up some. He called me in one day and gave me this card about the size of an invitation to something. It was one of my birth announcements, complete with a picture and how much I weighed and the time I was born. I thought for the longest that I was born at 7 A.M., but then my mom said it was 9, and this just verified: 8:55 A.M. on December 10, 1985.

I don't have class tomorrow and I don't have to work, so I will study and maybe go bowling or something.

In the meantime: GJ has gone completely mad. First there were slowdowns and breakdowns during the summer, with the influx of LJers, most likely. Then came them scaling back icons (they went from 1000 free to 100), and getting rid of private messages, and then this week they started to refer new users to InsaneJournal and cut back icons to 10. If this didn't make the users mad enough, there was talk that one of the mods used money for renames to pay bills and that the site owner hadn't talked to the support team since GreatestJournal started in 2003 (!!!)... so yeah.

Anyway: if you're from GJ (and reading this), you knew all of that already; how are you guys despite that?

First: certain RPers at GreatestJournal need to just go curl up in an e-ditch and die a thousand painful deaths.

Second: see people? SEE WHY I STAY AT LJ?!

Third: somewhere along the way I passed 2100 posts. I've had this journal for six years, God.

Fourth: PEOPLE SUCK SO MUCH IT MAKES ME SEE FUSCHIA.

Fifth: Dear Asshole Guy at the Gym Who Wore a Texas Tech Shirt--screw you for being so damned condescending to me when I asked to use the ab machine.

Sixth: I tried to curl my hair pin-curl style, and OH GOD. I got a cramp in my arm and hair was sticking out everywhere and it's not worth it or a one person job for that matter.

Seventh: I AM NOT CLOSING ALL TAX FREE WEEKEND, THANK YOU GOD.

Eighth: CAN WE SEND STUPID PEOPLE TO THE NINTH CIRCLE OF HELL? PLEASE?!

Ninth: the new moisturizer I'm using on my hair smells SO GOOD.

Tenth: I just wanted an even number to round off this post.

Things of note:

I love how the Strikethrough Panic of '07 has caused an influx of LJers to head to GreatestJournal, slowing down GJ for the first time in (well, to me) forever, and how it almost brought about a blackout (circa '05) on LJ.

I know it's probably impossible for a spayed (is that the right word? Male dogs are neutered; female ones are spayed, yes or no?) puppy to be PMSing, but God, Pepper has been cranky as hell all day. Not eating, growing, whimpering for attention then doing the whole "I WILL CHOMP YOU" thing. My brother theorized that she might be sick, but now she seems almost all better.

Borders is one of the best things to happen to me.

Ummm, I need to see if I can still procure a copy of May's GQ, because My Hypothetical Future Husband has nifty pictures inside. )

Mosquito bites suck.

This is my brain, re: next week: AUUUGH ALGEBRA TEST BIOLOGY TEST AUUUUGH.

Managing a regular community on LJ or GJ? Easy as hell as compared to modding and managing a RPG. Mostly because I am trying to get people to join, and people will put characters on hold, but short of the people that I already know who are in, NO ONE DOES THE DAMN APPLICATION AND THEY LET THEIR HOLDS EXPIRE. ARRRRGH. For the love of all that is good and pure in the world, people. I know that the concept is slightly simular to that of other games, but come on! It has a NEAT twist! HUMOR me at least and do the application! Hell, at this point I'll even let you in if you exhibit dubious knowledge of grammar and syntax! I am THAT DESPERATE.

Seen on GJ earlier:

I guess this falls under stuff...

But I'm really sick and I think it's either the flu or mono. What does mono feel like??

thankssss.


Wiki and WebMD (and a visit to your doctor) would do you a world of good. GOD, people.

PS: JAKE GYLLENHAAL IN DRAG HAS MADE MY LIFE.

I am more upset about getting rejected from an RPG than I really should be. It's just that... I've been doing it for two years, and to get my first rejection ever over a role I was getting OMGSOPSYCHED for (after not hearing anything from the mods for like, three days)? Sucks. Majorly. It's worse than constantly feeling like a community killer.

Well, it is official: the Internets hate me. WHY DOES GREATESTJOURNAL CHOOSE TONIGHT TO HAVE PMS?!

Do you know what this means? I HAVE TO GO AND HTML-IZE EVERYTHING ALL FRIGGING OVER AGAIN.

[insert screaming here]

I need a hug. Or something.

In probably another week (okay, not a week, per se, but more like a few more weeks--okay, TWO. Definately two), GreatestJournal will have 1 million members. And the only reason there will be a million is because of the friggin' journal hoarders (and the RP'ers, but who's keeping score of that? And how many varaitions of a celebrity's name can you make using just letters, numbers, and underscores? I will totally laugh if I ever see an Orlando Bloom journal like [livejournal.com profile] o_____________b). At least I use all of my journals. And I'm not one of the people who has to change their journal name every month. I quite like having [livejournal.com profile] enamoured over there.

But otherwise: I've been thinking of creating an LJ version of my entertainment-related GJ. Partially because it would be fun, and partly because more people would read it. Seriously. If you don't count the people who have changed journals since I've started (which is equal to half of my GJ friends list), there's only about twenty people actually seeing it. And, you know, it's not about the audience; it's about the expression and having fun, blah blah blah, but I'd like to know that people are actually reading the geeky crap I write, you know? God, my motivations all seem so snotty.

I just figured out that I can touch the tip of my tongue to my chin. Woo for my random talents!
