...you're like that ex who always finds a new way to disappoint....

I have been trying to get back here, again, as I have before, and have actually had a little success. Right in time for the new "Service Agreement." Where to begin? There are, of course, the censorship implications. And then there is the idiocy of making me sign an agreement that LJ itself declares is non-binding, but my consent to it (required to use the site), implies agreement to the version I can't read because it's in fucking Russian? Really? THat's taking Orwellian to a whole new level....

So, despite my what? 15 year-history here, I am am trying to actually commit to the transition for Dreamwidth. This really grind my gears since my account here has been a permanent one for...oh, a decade or so, and DW will end up costing me a pretty penny that I *really* can't exactly afford right now. And, my whole getting back here has a lot to do with those of you who are still here, and there seems to be a dearth of anyone I know on DW, or at least that I can find.

MY plan is to begin using DW full-time, while still reading and commenting here. Eventually, I will probably turn off commenting and essentially set this whole thing to private. I don't know if I can *quite* bring myself to delete it, though the new Soviet Overlords may take care of that for me - I've never been subtle about my liberal views, after all.

I will keep up here, but please, look for me on DW (link below) if you too have made or are contemplating the move there. Peace, all!

Look for me on my mirror journal, LunaDelCorvo on DreamWidth. If you are on DW too, tell me at this post so I can add you there!

Dreamwidth. I've loved LJ, but yeah, apart from you and a couple other friends, it's too quiet. I'll check out DW and let you know if I wind up joining.

My Dreamwidth account is "Avalonautumn" -- I think we already friended each other there, but I don't get automatic notices of comments there.

I'm trying to make sure I just have copies of everything here over THERE "just in case" because, yeah, who knows what will happen?

But-- I am still keeping LJ for as long as it works. I crosspost to cover both sides, and also- my paranormal blog is super popular in Russia! A got a guy who translates for me (more smoothly than the auto-translate programs) and everything. So... *shrug*

But, yeah-- I'm making sure I'm backed up!

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
