Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats flea!
Slept better last night, but not great, and still tired.

Jessica, your relatives in medicine almost certainly knew my grandfather - he was the chair of Pharmacology at UC from 1948-1974, when he retired.

Any hints on how to make the thing more user friendly?
I make it user-friendly by never going there. I'd rather have the creeping guilt from the "Consuela, you have notifications pending" emails than the discomfort from actually logging in.
... I may be a bit prone to avoidance. Really, I should just cancel my account, but it does seem to be the only way to keep in touch with some folks.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Congrats, flea! Hope it works out wonderfully.

That was AWESOME.

BWAH! I think I could parrot back every bit of your post and it would be exactly what I'm thinking about the whole thing.
I'll be honest, I miss the heyday of LJ.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel about the same about Facebook, Anne. I go there because there are some people that I do want to stay in touch with that I would otherwise completely lose track of, but I put it off for weeks at a time because something about it really puts me on edge. Using non-Facebook interfaces helps some - i think Yahoo might have one, but I haven't looked into it because I am in the avoidance part of my Facebook cycle at the moment.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, Facebook triggers my introversion in a way that all my other online sources don't. But I still use it regularly because my kids do. Although THANK GOODNESS the one boy has finally figured out how to filter me out of his getting high posts.

Congrats, flea!
Still fighting with this cold. Ear infection is vanquished, I now am fighting with my sinuses. Uhg.
Got a long day tomorrow; doing a Citizens on Patrol thing from 7-11 tomorrow night. Get to ride around with another neighbor and a walkie-talkie connecting us to the neighborhood patrol car. Could be interesting or mindnumbingly boring. I hope it is boring for the sake of the 'hood. I've not 'met' this neighbor before (she lives several blocks over) but she's one of the neighborhood cat ladies' There is a loosely organized group who rescues, fosters and places. Turns out, I put her in touch with my work's cat ladies and they've found homes for several cats together.
Speaking of which, Pumpkin is getting more relaxed around the other cats, Loki especially. She tried to get him to play by whacking at his hind legs. I think he was a little confused, as she still hissed, but then ran after him when he vacated. They need to work on their communication styles.
