This journal is still, as of now, flocked. I'd like to think I'm not, mentally, in the same place where I'm as wary as I once was. But if you're here to see graphics, of which I'm always flattered, rest assured, those will always be public. I really don't flock too many posts anymore, but if you feel like you really want to get to know me or be friended back, conversation and chatting are the best way, if you ask me ;) Thank you!
What animal (or insect, etc) are you most afraid of? Was there a specific incident that led to your fear, or is it just a general thing?

I'm terrified of butterflies...they scare the beejus out of me!

LiveJournal seems intent on driving everyone away, maybe it thinks it's too mainstream *adds hipster galsses to LJ logo).

poisonivory at Livejournal, come on.I never use Scrapbook, but I think people who pay for a service should, you know, know when that service gets severely diminished. Via caiusmajor:

Alright, I am not drunk enough to deal with this, so I'm just going to put out this PSA:
Livejournal Scrapbook is going away. Your 10GB of Paid Member space is now 2GB. If you care, there is an explanation in Russian on the Russian news page. There's also a user-submitted translation.
+ You will no longer have access to your Scrapbook once this goes live.
+ Your images will redirect, but the URL will be different.
+ Unable to tell what will happen to any photos you have that put you over the 2GB limit.
+ Back up your Scrapbook just in case.
+ If you want your photos transferred over now instead of waiting, let them know here.

What is (or was) your college major? Do you use it for your career?

I had to smile at this question, I got my undergrad degree in Political Science and Russian language, which are utterly worthless and once I realised that, I went back and got a Masters in IT - now I have a good job. You do the math ;)

This is a no-brainer - I'd love a real life Charmander! I'd never be cold in my office, but I'd also need flame-retardant sheets and such :)

moerlin at As of tomorrow, no more subject lines in comments on LJI was gonna update this with much happier stuff, but for the past week I've just been so enraged with LJ's asshattery that I've had it to here.
In case you didn't know, on 12/12 they first announced sneakily on the Russian journal of LJ's design guy that with new changes being implemented tomorrow, there will be no more subject lines in comments and that this change was "non-negotiable" (good round-up and translation here). I'm sure you all realize that this will basically make fandom and RP communities unusable. LJ's staff, however, doesn't give a shit. At least 18 pages of 100% negative feedback didn't sway them.
They've backpedaled some and will make keeping comment subject lines optional in some S2 styles, but the default (that 99% of communities are running right now) will decidedly be subject-less! Not to mention that their new and frankly, fucking ugly design will take forever to load and make the site a pain to use on mobile browsers.
And oh, it looks like they might be taking away the drop-down menu to select icons as well, so you'll have to load all your icons as pictures to select them. Lovely. (I will beta-test tonight to see if this is actually true.)
Really, I don't know why I'm surprised. LJ is always fucking with the parts of the site that actually work and breaking them, so this is just another instance of that. Because seriously, who are subject lines hurting by just being there? (And no, it can't be a matter of server strain, considering the new "graphic" interface will definitely be using up more resources - so much fun when there's DDoS attacks!)
As far as I know, they've never once listened to their customers, so those thousands of comments already posted probably won't do shit. I've left a message expressing my concerns about the new comment pages here anyway; so if you want to do that too, go for it! If anything, it helps with the rage. ;)
FYI: Dreamwidthis feeling Christmasy has reacted to LJ's bullshit and has open account creation (no invite codes needed) for the rest of the week. Might be a good idea to get your back-up or new home, whatever the case may be, up and running now.

I'm afraid to answer this one, daily - is that bad? I cry when I hear that Adele song a lot, but that wasn't it this morning...something in the car, songs get me sometimes :)
