So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I remember being out of diapers and running around in normal clothes at 2.

We trained earlier, back in the day. I have no memories of wearing diapers, but my earliest memories pre-date my sibling, and I was a little over two when he was born. I think I was trained around the same time I was weaned, which would be about 18 months.

The range is later now (and I am a parent with a kid hitting potty training age, so these are things with which I am sadly familiar), in large part due to the tech advances in disposable diapers (and to a lesser degree, those in cloth).

(I'm totally outing myself as knowing a pedantic amount about diapers, aren't I? Back before I had a kid, when I just watched one on a regular basis, I could spot-size a kid for diapers. It's kind of sad. I wish I had those brain connections for something useful.)

Dude, am I the only one that wants to kick the FanLib people in the collective junk?

Thrive to spite them

I think right now the only thing uniting most of fandom is a huge hate on for FanLib.

I have very vague memories of when I was young. The earliest is kind of an impression of blocks and carpet.

Another early memory wanting to stay inside and watch tv when my brother and I were supposed to go outside. I'm pretty sure the show was Emergency!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just backed up my LJ, not out of any real fear of deletion, but because it never hurts. I used LJ Archive, which was very easy.

Thanks for the link!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm finding it enormously difficult to care much about FanLib, and it's making me feel kind of guilty.

You're not obligated to care.

I suspect FanLib will subside into an archive that newcomers to fandom use, and nobody else pays much attention to. Periodically they'll try some contest or something to get people to post, and we'll mock them and move on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

suela is wise

Me, I'm a bit more concerned by the deletions that are happening over on LJ.
