I didn't want to move after Strikethrough '07. My reasoning was that LJ had messed up, but they'd apologize, fix the problem, and not do it again.

Obviously, I was wrong.

Right now, I have a JournalFen account, a lostjournal account, and a Deadjournal account.

The deadjournal account has chronicles of my emo teen years and apart from getting a paid account which would only get me 24 invite codes at the most to give out, I think it's highly unlikely that my flist would be able to migrate over there, or would want to.

Lostjournal, I've never used and don't care too much about. I also have no idea what their policies are, so I doubt that I'm going to start using that one either. Username: illusion

JournalFen, I use mostly for Fandom Wank. You need a paid account to get journals for other people, but there aren't any limits on how many accounts you can have made, so I'm seriously thinking about getting a paid account there. Generally speaking, if they're willing to host Fandom Wank, I'd assume that they're willing to host anything that isn't actually getting DMCA notices sent to them. And their servers are robust. XDDDDD Username: damienraptore

Insanejournal, I headed to check out just because a lot of my flist was talking about it and the admin laid down clear rules on what's okay and what isn't. I started to create an account, was going to snag fickle_deity or just fickle but put Damien in just because I thought that it would say it was taken, found out it wasn't, and now that's my account. Though I'm considering getting a paid account there to get rid of the ads, and if I do that, I might switch to one called Fickle instead since more of my flist calls me that than anything else. Not sure. Username: Damien

At any rate, if I leave, most of my RP journals are going to be deleted just for the sake of me doing the survey that asks WHY I'm leaving. I've got enough RP journals to spend an entire month sending them one deleted journal per day with a complaint about LJ's incredibly stupid customer service skills.

I've got a paid account until December. I'm staying at least that long, even if only to complain. After that, all bets are off.

Oh, and if anyone actually needs pictures of boys or girls or whatevers kissing as a reward for taking that poll, drop me a comment and I'll supply something. ♥

Quite apart from anything else, the idea of considering mixed-species relationships as the same kink as mixed-race relationships is one that makes me boggle. But let's get down to the meat of this post, shall we?

So, over at [livejournal.com profile] daily_deviant, the mods manage to suggest miscengenation (have a good explanation of why it's a racist term) would be a good prompt, were informed it's a racist term and perhaps they could use 'interracial' instead, refused and took offense at being told they could be OMGRACIST for using that term, and then there was a wanksplosion.

Meanwhile, the DD mods have changed the term but they haven't apologized for the way they behaved at the start, especially to [livejournal.com profile] witchqueen who was the original one to bring up her complaint. Go comment to their latest admin post and point out that just perhaps when you accuse someone of being oversensitive and defaming your comm, you might want to apologize when you realize you're wrong.

And as a reward for those of you that go comment (which I'm sure is going to be all of you, right? ^_~) : Boys kissing -- color-coordinated to match the theme of this post, even.

First of all, sorry about not replying to comments, I have only very little Net time at home so I'm going to respond to comments when I have more time to reply instead of just read.

Secondly, signed a lease for an apartment-type deal. It's the top floor of a house, so it has a bedroom, a study and a bathroom with a little bit of roof that's like a terrace where I can sun myself. The kitchen is on the ground floor but I'll have the house to myself between the 10th July and 11th August since the owner and her daughter will be away on holiday.

Internet-wise, which is the most important thing, she has Chello and unlimited Internet, but she doesn't have it set up for wireless yet. One of us is going to need to buy a wireless router so that I can get Net access -- assuming I move in on Monday as scheduled, I should have the wireless Net up and running by Tuesday. I still won't be around as much as I am during the uni year, since I'll be working most of the day but the weekends will definitely be my time for catching up on Net stuff!

Transport-wise, there's a bus that takes about ten minutes to get to Kagrannerplatz, and then I can take the U-Bahn from there to the UN. So possibly about twenty minutes to get to work, which starts at 8:30, meaning I should wake up around 7:30 in order to have time to shower, eat breakfast, get dressed, etc.

Parents are jointly giving me a lump sum of 2,500 Euros for my 21st birthday present (birthday is 10th July), and I'm supposed to pay rent and all other expenses over the summer from that. Rent for that place was originally 500 per month but I got her down to 350 instead, thankfully. Calculations for the next three months are under the cut.

Fickle's math-fu is put to the test! )

Also, there's another protest-meme about writing sexy drabbles daily as a way of standing up for el-jay. Don't think that I'll be able to get steady enough access to actually do that until Tuesday, but I'm tempted to try. Flist, any thoughts?

[Poll #994544]

Back up your journal if you've got the time. If I get booted from here, expect to see me hanging out at JournalFen or DeadJournal again. GreatestJournal = haaaaaaaaaaate because of all the ads everywhere, but journalfen is hard to get accounts for (unless you're a paid user who can get free accounts created and unfortunately, I'm still not allowed to buy stuff online otherwise I'd upgrade my account over there to a paid one) and deadjournal still works off the account code system, unfortunately.

Oh, and anyone with any interest at all in fandom or letting fandom have a safe space on el-jay should join Fandom Counts. You don't need to friend it, there are zero entries there, it's just a quick way of showing how many of the journals on el-jay are fandom related.

The deletions aren'ta specific targeting of fandom but fandom journals are getting caught in the targets and damnit, I'm annoyed that [livejournal.com profile] pornish_pixies got deleted because I had a great Regulus/Remus fic in my memories that was posted there and now I can't remember the author or anything that would let me find it again, just that the writing style reminded me of Wilde. When I've got the Net time, I'll join it with all my multiple RP journals as well.

Words of wisdom from a second-hand chick lit book I bought, concerning adults snorting Ritalin as a concentration aid:

"Thing is that pills that are fun to snort are easy to crush. Pharmacists make it this way to turn us into addicts, so who the fuck am I to argue?"

When asked to elaborate, the guy who said the above continues:

"Zoloft and Paxil and lithium are all coated and can't be cut up, but they'd be no kick to sniff anyway. Vicodin and Perdoccet, on the other hand, are easy to crush and -- surprise, surprise -- habit-forming. See? It's a conspiracy. I'm just going along with it."

So, dearest flist, I'm thinking of taking his advice. Neither of my sleeping pills (Ambien CR and Lorazemoan) are working if I just swallow them down, but maybe sniffing them will work! Please bear in mind that I have zero experience sniffing anything except flowers (despite the icon, the only meds I take are legal) and am sleep-deprived at the moment. In other words, no taking me seriously and freaking out because even if a hundred people vote that I should try it in the name of science, I am very unlikely to.

Oh, and boys kissing to prove I'm not completely out of it.

Please don't try to Google the answer or check it up anywhere. XD Just answer with whatever seems the most right to you. *bribes you all with a pic of boys kissing to induce you to vote*

[Poll #900090]

If you tick the last answer and the last answer only, then I'm going to assume you're more interested in biology than logic :P

Also, my download of Velvet Goldmine finished. I'm totally going to watch that tomorrow. XD

How many of you pay attention to the news about countries outside of the one that you live in?

Most of my flist is from America; people say Americans are self-absorbed and rarely listen to anything except American news.

True or not? Historically, America had an isolationist attitude during WWI but that was nearly a century ago. We should have moved on by then.

I know I pay attention to news about Europe, because I grew up there, Asia because that's where my genetic stock is from and where most of my family is, Australia because I lived there too once upon a time, and America because that's where I go to uni/live/was born. Dual nationality for Sri Lanka and America, permanent residency for Austria and Australia -- I've got personal reasons to cover most of the globe, though nothing for Africa or the Middle East.

Not that it matters.

I don't see how anyone can be ignorant of the genocide in Dafur or each successive crisis in the Middle East. It's news. Our world, our events. It might be happening on the other side of the world for now, but if chaos theory says one butterfly's wings flapping can create a storm, then one death (Archduke Franz-Ferdinand) is all it takes to kick off a World War.

Boys kissing. Just as a reward for reading through that.

So do me a favor and answer the following poll honestly? Answers are screened so that nobody will know what you've voted.
