"Wanna come to my hills?"

Liz + Val + alcohol in their systems = lol.

Oi hey, Liz, that arrow between hills thing - my Darush did that. XD

Was thinking about having a barbeque this week, but the weather forecast looks rotten. =/

In TLR, it could be because I was only at level 20-30, but people sitting in reserves don't seem to gain much stat or skills ever, and even chaining at Aveclyff bugpit didn't seem to have done anything (and I got bored after 250 chains even with turbo on). The annoying thing is I didn't actually write down who has what and then do a before/after commparison. Currently my party is just about to re-enter Nagapur through the aqueducts. Went and did the Vespalia birdthing quest at Royotia - all unions apart from Rush's could be killed with one hit of Grenade Impact. orz I don't remember how strong/weak I was at this BR/at this point in the game the previous times I played so it's hard to compare whether PC version is harder or easier. =/

Quite a few people (including the-housemate-whose-brain-I-broke) have multiple online accounts everywhere these days. I'm not following any of them because I can't keep up. I also don't have other accounts myself, or maybe I do have one or two but I don't use them. (Think I have an IJ somewhere... or is it GJ?) Still remember a year or two ago (or was it more) someone asked me why I don't sign up for Twitter since I used to post so much and so many of the posts were one-liners. Heck, I don't even remember to login to my Facebook and check people's photos more than around every other month. I just can't be bothered, that's what it is. And with other people's accounts, yeah well have fun you guys, it's not like I don't care but I don't know where you are. Even if you posted about it, I'm not always at a place where I can click links to social networking or blogging sites freely (LJ is partially-filtered at work, too). And by the time I remember to look for it I can't find your post. You could try listing them on your LJ profiles instead or something like that? But I'll still forget who's got additional journals/blogs elsewhere and clicking on every profile on my flist = too much to do, still. Sorry, I'm lazy. I can't deal with this social networking and journalling and blogging business more than one thing at a time (this account is 8 years old), I'd rather miss out on whatever fun you're having than getting my head done in**, so I'll just go play by/with myself.

**it's not the same as multitasking, you see, it's also having to remember what I can say where. BECAUSE I'LL DEFINITELY MESS UP AND MAKE INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS AT INAPPROPRIATE PLACES AND RUIN YOUR NEW SHINY ACCOUNT, YOUR ATTEMPT TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS AND YOUR REPUTATION (IF YOU HAVE ANY).

Also, most of the time I don't know what those places you've signed up for/opened an account at are actually about. Because nobody tells me these things, they either assume I already know or keep it amongst exclusive groups of awesome people who laugh at the ignorant, I presume.

..........well done to you if you understood what I said, because I didn't. I think my point is that people who have multiple accounts are more awesome than I# because I can't cope with that and if I try I'll just open-mouth-insert-foot.

Clearly today is the first working day of the week.

#I channelled Dave there.

And that's what I mean - I haven't even heard of Dreamwidth until this morning and already it seems like loads of people are either talking about it/over there. I don't even know what it is. orz I'm clearly not l33t enough.

Ah...

Just went to take a look at their site. It seems neat, but I'm a skeptical person. LJ swore up and down about being ad-free too, back in the old days, but sooner or later they all succumb. There will be teething problems that'll last a year or two, and there'll always be problems with copyrighted material, porn, etc etc. Those aren't LJ-created problems but things that every site will have to deal with. And "user based forum", "volunteer based" and "by users for users" only mean "we aren't paying for professional people to help you or spending our own time to help you"...

There have been issues where LJ's response could admittedly have been better, but people forget that LJ is actually run by a relatively small number of people and everything they say immediately get scrutinised. And with all these people using the service everything gets snowballed into "OMG HOW COULD THEY DO THIS!!!!!". orz Within a day everybody screams bloody murder and not even all LJ staff has an idea what the hell is going on yet. If something ain't fixed within three days, those people scream dictatorship and censorship and bloody murder and then stage a revolt and make icons and petitions and polls and basically, just make it a million times worse before anyone has a chance to look at the problem thoroughly and respond properly. orz This is the sort of thing which I don't see would be any different anywhere else. As soon as there are enough people using it, that's how it'll be. Because it's the internet.

Does it? XD

I don't know if it's always for practicality reasons. It seems like quite a lot of the time it's financial.

And yeah, I click on the news posts just to read comments too. XD

But egging is the essence of all revolts!

Repulse Bay. >D It is a lovely area. XD
