Fractured Thoughts

This post started as a post for my own reference to satisfy my anal retentive need to be consistent with my tagging.

Just in case anyone wanted some guidance in navigating my 'system' I decided to leave it open, (but if i post this right it won't appear on your friend pages). Then I got carried away and it can now be considered a list of policies and disclaimers as well as an explanation of tags.

( Disclaimers )



( Ratings and warnings. )

( LJ tags )

( delicious tags )



Hmm not exhaustive (yet) think this shall have to be a WIP too as I add more fandoms or tags.

Am suddenly going through a Hikaru no Go obsession phase, re-watching and (re) reading all the fic I can get my paws on. I'd fogotten how fantastic most of the writing in that fandom is, seriously I don't think I've read anything that didn't seem like it was published author quality. Maybe I will get over my intimidation enough to try and make something of some of the HnG plotbunnies running around in my head. I still not sure how I can watch an entire series about Igo (several times) and still come out the other end with only the barest understanding of the rules.... Seriously I look at the games and it means nothing to me at all. I can't even follow the examples they have at the end to teach kids the basics, my brain just doesn't seem to work that way.

Other than that am awaiting my new kindle with baited breath.... I want my new toy now. I downloaded Kindle for PC in anticipation too, am still trying to get it to work.... for some reason it won't connect to let me register, despite good internet connection. Amazon customer service had me make sure it could get through my firewall and anti-virus but still no joy. Grrr.

I know several people are considering  leaving LJ following the whole FB crosspost thing... Personally I'm still hoping or some sort of opt out option or something people can use in their journals but if anyone wants a DW invite (or knows anyone who might) I somehow have a staggering 12 invites available.

Thingy's the technical term.... didn't you know.

Feel strangely unsettled and disturbed by this new function, it makes me nervous to use LJ at all. New inbuilt paranoia has me logging out of facebook just so I won't somehow accidently post something from LJ there.... Really do not want to introduce my colleagues and extended family to my LJ account in any way shape or form. (If I wanted them to find me my username would have been my actual name). So have no fear friends I will not be reposting anything from anybody there .... or on twitter for that matter.

I don't know what I think about someone else reposting something from my journal, I guess if it's unlocked it doesn't matter,anyone can read it anyway.... though I think on the whole I would rather that people didn't. Locked posts being reposted definitely would upset me though so please don't. Though I think the general consensus seems to be that no one on my flist intends to use that function anyway.

Why oh why do I always leave things to the last minute? I'm feverishly finishing off my hlh_shortcuts fic for TOMORROW, I will get it done, there's only another page or so to write, I just have to stop staring fixated at the blinking cursor and get on with it. Points to icon, see that's me now, not very productive "Ooo shiny".

I know several people have had problems getting comments etc, me too. I think. So if I haven't written back to you it's not because I am unbearably rude (though that's true too) but, probably, because I didn't get it. My email inbox has suddenly started to fill up with all the X has received a virtual gift notifications today, all about 3 days old.

Yikes I'm going to be busy this month. I'm moving, again. Which I hate, I'm starting on the packing in the hope it won't be too rushed at the end. I really hate doing all the paperwork and cleaning and trying to get the bills sorted. It will be nice to be in a nice new house, I think I'll miss this one though. I'm still trying to find the third person for our house too, *stress*.

In LJ land I'm doing the highlander crack_van and signed up for another round with ficfinishing to finish off some of my highlander fics (anyone wiith unfinished fanfics should pop over and see if any of their fandoms are part of it. I got soo much done last month). Then I want to do the fixchange challenge too. Busy busy busy. No one come up with any fun ideas or absorbing fics until next month ^_^.

I should have a fic update ready this week, I hope.

I'm crossposting (if I'm doing it right) from dreamwidth where I have just set up an account under the same username. Here If anyone wants to connect to me on dreamwidth too you're of course very welcome. I am adding people haphazardly as I find them eventually recreating my LJ flist over here too.

I don't know how much I will use this account, might be constantly or not at all (I currenty have the basic free account, I'm not planning on paying until I know whether I want to stay). I certainly will not be abandoning my LJ anytime in the near future. Do people still need invite codes? (I find the whole closed open beta thing confusing, I don't even know if they are still needed) I don't have any codes at the moment but I can request some for the next round.

He he, I just upgraded to a paid account, 'look Ma, no ads'.
Rather more to the point I can add more userpics :-)

Wonder what else new things can I do now? Ooo I can make polls or voice posts. Am off to explore.
Nearly finished those snippets, should post them soon.
