I just saw an article on Salon calling LiveJournal obsolete, so I'm going to post! Darn it!

Things!

1. The grand move south progresses. I'm...okay with the whole thing? I guess? It's happening, so... I've begun the great job search again, so that's stress-inducing as per usual.

2. I have not seen Captain America 2, but that didn't stop me from having a rather interesting dream the other night involving Sebastian Stan and a hallway and some kissage. Not a bad dream, I have to say. I blame everyone on Tumblr.

3. I'm actually making progress on an original story. We'll see! I might post a collage this weekend for the heck of it. What's kind of fun is all the baking I'm going to need to do. For RESEARCH.

4. Work has been really, really busy this week! But I'm using the stairs which is good for me. Then I eat a Chunky Peanut Butter Kitkat which is not good for me. :P

5. I don't think I have a 5. I hope everyone is having a good week!

Happy Thursday! ♥

It's true. Most people have left LJ for DW, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook. If you're here for fandom, it's probably a losing battle. But I can't see any way to do what I like to do in fandom anywhere else. There is no way in hell I would try to move the xf_book_club or xf_santa to Tumblr, or God forbid, Facebook.

The other reason I'm here because I've always kept a journal and I still want to keep one. It was nicer in some ways when I had people following me and commenting, but the loss of readership isn't going to change what I do. If no one is reading my LJ, well, no one was reading it when I kept it on paper.

I'm excited that you're writing something original.

Job searching and moving: so stressful. I hope it goes well.

Fandom does seem to be centered at Tumblr (for the moment) and I honestly doubt anyone, even the most staunch users of Tumblr, actually think it's a good platform for discussion. Especially not comms like the book club!

If no one is reading my LJ, well, no one was reading it when I kept it on paper.

That's a brilliant point! Sometimes, the act of just getting thoughts or the words or the lists out of one's head is really all I want in a journal. I like it when people comment and I love reading other people's entries, but I think I'd still write down my thoughts even if it was just to send them out into the ether.

I'm enjoying the original stuff at the moment. As per usual, it's getting myself into the discipline of writing it everyday.

Your icon makes me smile, by the way!

HA! It's only as obsolete as we make it, baby. :)

*waves*

Where are you moving to? If you don't mind my asking? I should probably know this if you've already said, but my memory is not good.

WORD! :D

I'm currently in Scotland and I'm heading to just southeast of London. My husband is going for his PhD and has to spend the next year at a research institute in the middle of some orchards!

Ooh, that sounds interesting. :)

I'm still here, dammit.

CAP 2 IS AWESOME YOU SHOULD GO SEE IT!

Dag nabbit! They can pry my LJ from my cold...well, you know where I'm going with that. ;D

I really, really, really want to see it! ARGH!

I refuse to tumblr and dreamwidth always glitches on me for some reason. So I'm here for a while!

Sebastian Stan is ... well... stupidly hot and badass for the obvious side of things, but always so painfully kicked puppy in some parts that I just want to snuggle him desperately. Just. Unf. I want him in all of my Marvel now almost at the level that I want Renner and or Karl Urban in everything. It's that bad.

And yay for originals and baking-as-research! I totally want to see a collage!

I have a DW but I don't use it. I might give it a try and do the cross-posting thing? I'm still pretty happy with LJ.

The man is stupidly good-looking and there's something about him that's oddly compelling.

I'm definitely going to do a collage! It's going to have baked goods in it. ;P
