Had a whole post about the LJ business model and how it really wasn’t ideal if the idea was to generate more users who’d pay for extra features. Got bored of it a few hundred words in.
Must get on with this Dreamwidth thing. Fewer icons will not kill me.
Can’t fault self on purchase of permanent LJ account: seemed like a good idea at the time. Can write off sunk costs at the end of the day.
Handwrote fic on train when should have been doing more productive things. Had forgotten what it was like to have people trying to peer at writing/monitor.
Found new drinking game: must find badfic to go with it.
Need to figure out which posts to archive to Dreamwidth. Can’t be bothered with all of them but may not be entirely caffeinated enough to figure out if selective importing is possible. May have to do it manually.
Am actually developing enthusiasm for things again. Blame upcoming autumnal equinox. Discovering local stockists of Sobranie Black Russian can’t be hurting either.
I'm trying to get used to the fewer icons as well. I know it won't kill me but damn, I hate being broke and having only 15 icons.
You don't have to import your entries. Why not use this journal as a fresh start, that's what I'm pretty much doing with my one. My blogging voice has changed now that I'm much older (and cranky) it's not about fandom anymore. For which I'm glad.
Having complained about it now I don’t even think I’m using all of those 15 icon slots. It’s made me start to seriously think about what I do want to be posting and what can really do without mention. It’s really helped to break away from the mentality of feeling obliged to update which I’d fallen into with LJ.
I did take your advice in the end and just started afresh here though I am still crossposting public posts, which is something that I’m going to consider doing less of in the future most likely.
