Damned kids

[flemmings]

I don't want to have to type flemmings.livejournal.com with my two fingers every time I want to read dreamwidth entries and their comments. Nor do I want to have to look at DW's eyesearing love affair with shades of orange. But I must do one or the other if I want to read stuff on DW. I can see, as with lj, that I'll have to get an account eventually (ie style = mine) or deal with hassle. But for the moment it appears to be mostly Loud Twits who've moved to DW (you can see them being resounding asses and tinkling cymbals on MF: also, who is telesilla and was she always like that?) and I prefer not.

Possibly it's time to retire from fandom and get a life, as my FL has done.

Will it cheer you up if I comment on how I liked the "resounding asses and tinkling cymbal" wordplay?

At the moment, dreamwidth profiteth me not either.

It will cheer me immensely because right now nis nu cwicra nan- ther ys noon on lyffe that seems to have read the King James translation, and I feel old.

(OTOH googling that line from The Wanderer finds me this (http://no-sword.jp/blog/2005/09/nis-nu-cwicra-nan-e-ic-him-modsefan.html) with a fascinating set of links on the side. The strangest whim has seized me. . . After all/ I think I will not hang myself to-day)

I too have noticed that nearly all the flist people I added for fandom reasons no longer talk about said fandom, myself included.

(Moving all of my blog feeds to DW did wonders for my flist, though. That's all I've used it for.)

I haven't even ventured to find out about it! I think I'm quite happy here and I'm getting uhmm old and set in my ways to move at the moment. I have no time to keep up with more than one pond I think.

I like this playground and here I will stay!

I don't think I could be less interested in Dreamwidth, having read that posting from its co-founder provided earlier by mikeneko.

There's always that. Not that LJ's overlords aren't scum either-- witness those mass terminations last fall without severance pay. But they were thrust upon us. We didn't go to them feely and of our own will.
