turpsI've found a good way to lose weight. Go shopping with your nanna, decide a muffin and coffee would make a nice dinner. Enjoy your muffin until she cuts hers in half, gives the half first to Corey then James, while saying they're too filling for one person to eat. Which, hello. I could eat mine easily thank you very much *g*
The testing of MTYG has produced some fantastic fic again. I can't wait until people post so I can link. Honestly, the talent of people in this fandom continues to blow me away.
I was reading friendsfriends earlier and was totally spoiled about who was voted off Strictly Come Dancing. I mean, why do that? Not everyone gets to see shows when they air. Cut tags are your friend.
I had the pleasure of beta reading a wonderful Mutant X story last week. It's written by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kaethe and it's here. You should go and read, because MX is an awesome show and I love it, and this is a wonderful story that I enjoyed a lot.
I've seen a lot of posts about the take over of LJ, and all I can think is, LJ can't win. People didn't like Six Apart. Now they've gone and they don't like this company either. I've been on LJ for years, and sure, change has happened, but change happens everywhere. A lot of that change has been great, and the bad I can easily ignore. Plus, just by second hand observing how hard it is to code an interactive website, well I have so much admiration toward LJ now. The site runs smoothly most of the time, and when it doesn't it's fixed asap. For a site so huge, that's amazing. I guess what I'm saying is. I love LJ, and I'm here to stay.
I know a lot of people won't agree with me, and if you don't that's fine. Just, no pissed off comments in my journal, okay?

Date: 2007-12-03 06:00 pm (UTC)As for LJ, it works fine so far and I don't get that people always start to complain when there's a change. Sure, some changes are worse than others (some are also for the better), but that doesn't mean that LJ is going down the drain. I say, wait and see.

Just wanted to send my love.

Seriously, sometimes my compulsion to always be informed about what's going on is really no good for my mental equilibrium at all :-/

That's it exactly. I get complaining if things go wrong, but I've seen so many OTT reaction posts and nothing has changed at this time. It's just weird.

Date: 2007-12-03 06:42 pm (UTC)See, I understand people being worried a little. I've been reading from links too, but I don't get the extreme reactions that some people have posted. Or the Russian jokes, because that's so funny. I just think it's not worth freaking out unless there's something to freak out about, and as of right now, things seem exactly the same as they were yesterday.

Date: 2007-12-03 07:06 pm (UTC)This is why there are some people I don't to restaurants with. There are many people around whom I feel like Gargantua just because I eat a normal portion of food *sighs*
I guess what I'm saying is. I love LJ, and I'm here to stay.
With you on that one, definitely. I've seen a couple more communities announce they were leaving for IJ, but until my friends leave to go there, I'm staying *clings*

Date: 2007-12-03 07:23 pm (UTC)It really can't, can it? Whatever LJ does, they'll get wank in return. Each time something new happens, it's like the apocalypse has arrived... We never know what could happen, but why not wait and see for a change? I know I love LJ, hiccups included. Nothing is ever perfect, why would LJ be different, anyway?
I do hope nothing will happen that ruins my LJ experience but so far so good *fingers crossed*

Hopefully things stay just fine. *crosses fingers too*

Date: 2007-12-03 08:51 pm (UTC)Besides I trust your judgement. I've been here over four or five years, so well... it can't get worse. If anything it will get better.
Like you said, we shouldn't worry about it, until something really happens.
