Round up of stuff

impyLJ is again shooting itself in the foot. I don't understand why, but they are. It's like they want to destroy the site but... why not just throw your hands up and walk away if that's the ultimate goal?
I have no massive feelings for DW aside from a knee-jerk reaction of "this, again?" when people speak of moving, en-masse there. Well. Untrue. I think at this point I'd be following three people and having to seek out new comms and at this point it just makes me sad. So maybe DW invokes sad. I dunno.
The kicker, of course, is that the very thing LJ is seeking to eliminate/change so drastically as to make the site itself a ghost town? Is the one thing I love about the site more than anything else. It's what I wish most desperately for when I'm on other sites. I wish I could see all the tumblr blogs I follow (or am now, after a massive add-a-thon this morning) in my own style and not some crappy boring style (is this possible?) that renders things so blah in comparison. I hate infinite scrolling on FB, but that's less infinite scrolling and more FB fucks up the timeline because no.
The FL is the reason I stubbornly refused to use whatever blogging thing the Charmed crowd (which is how I ended up here, on this name, in the first place) was doing at the time. I had a LJ (didn't want the streams to cross, y'know) and I thought the FL was way better suited to communication. And it was. It is. It's what makes LJ.
You complete and utter fuckwits.
I'm pretty proud of myself for going through the 31 Days of October challenge I set for myself. :) It wasn't quite what I planned, but I did it and it made me happy while doing it, so I'm hoping other people enjoyed it, too. :)
I think I'll do a picture-round up sometime this weekend because I think it would be nice to have all the pictures gathered in one spot. And that way I can sneak in a few that got lost in the shuffle or when photobucket decided that arranging things should be done in the most insanely stupid way possible.
Shouldn't improvements actually improve things? But I tire of crankiness! It's still fall (that's right, tumblr! Fall/Autumn is not code for "October" so you can skip straight to winter and Christmas. No. Fall deserves at least half of November and technically all of it, dammit. Christmas gets December (and I'll give you Black Friday on if you throw me an autumn bone mixed in til December), and then winter lasts straight on through February and into March. It doesn't need November, too.
I'm apparently filled with crankiness. Ah well.
This, for those who remembered, is/was my entry in the MH comm Halloween contest. I didn't place (woes) but I'm actually still pretty fond of how it turned out. It could have been better, but at the end of the day I still like it and I'm pretty sure that's what matters. :)
my tumblr if you're bored or you just cannot wait til picture round-up day. (most of the stuff came from there and there's more autumny/Halloween stuff.) I need a new theme, though, but I'm not all that comfy with these things yet. Nor, do I suspect, will I ever be.
