Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

move out and draw fire

Yup, just migrated everything from LJ to DW and then deleted my LJ.

And added a note to my bullet journal to go through and curate all the stuff that's on my DW now and either delete for reals or backup to my home mini-cloud, or both.

Happy New Year!

I am in deep nerd mode as I started cataloguing my ornaments last night. Sigh. It's stopped raining, so I think it's time to go for a walk.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

How I'm progressing with the need list

- sweep living room & kitchen
- vacuum living room area rug
- mail 4-5 things make that 7! things mailed
- pick up mail for work (so it doesn't have to be done tomorrow)
- measure window pane
- get window screen out (I think it is caulked in)
- go buy window pane & anything else needed for repair
- replace window pane & make child help

- clean bathroom - half done
- have child do laundry, pack bag, and do anything else needed for going to school tomorrow
- either take things to thrift store or list things on ebay
- pack lunch for tomorrow
- lay out clothes for tomorrow
- finish self-eval that was due yesterday
- do at least one load of laundry
- buy groceries

So we are at the point where I have woken up the child, given him 30 min to get himself up and ready to work on this window.

extra bonus stuff

- made coffee, cooked breakfast, went to bookstore, treated self to bagel store, remembered to take plastic bag recycling to grocery!

One of my nearby grocery stores has Indian sauces in jars. I have discovered that chicken korma is good for congested sinuses. I've got whole wheat noodles instead of rice because I can only attempt one new cooking technique at a time, and defrosted raw chicken was the one I was working on today. I'm actually using my freezer for more than frozen pizza and ice cream.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I have duplicate LJ accounts on DW, but I didn't set them up to update automatically, so I need to port the stuff that's happened since to those accounts.

That said, I'm not deleting my LJ. And I'm not leaving LJ until and unless my fandom moves wholesale. IMO, the server move to Russia is a financial rather than a political move. I suspect LJ's glitches and lapses and downtime is lack of solid funding rather than hacking. But I've never posted personal data on LJ, and don't intend to start. When SUP bought LJ it was with the intent to turn it into a FB-like social media site, and that they have done. They allow fannish LJs and communities to continue, but they are an extremely small percentage of active journals. If there's any data mining done, it's my opinion that it will be the political journals and blogs of the Russians who use the site for social and political discussion.

Or I could be la-la-la-ing myself into trouble. Point being, I'm staying on LJ, at least for the time being.

also--I just remembered the visceral loathing I felt towards GWB and Cheney, especially as their administration went out. I couldn't bear to look at their faces. It's going to be worse.

I greet 2017 with a level of concern and fear above and beyond the Bush/Cheney advent. There was more foreknowledge of what we could expect from them. They were easier to anticipate and prepare for. I have no idea what will happen to my country and world in 2017. May they be completely dysfunctional and unable to accomplish any of their goals.

David and Laura are me. I do know I don't want Turnip impeached or assassinated, because Pence is ten or twenty times worse--he's organized, he's an efficient politician, and he will deliberately dismantle the infrastructure as much past recovery as possible, if he serves as President for any length of time. Turnip is at least random in his recklessness. He could wreck a lot, but leave a lot standing, too.

I've archived my LJ over on Dreamwidth, and I'll post more on DW. I'll probably still have it crosspost to LJ, as I haven't decided if I'm going to get rid of the LJ side. There are still a handful of olde skool net.goth friends who only post on LJ, and I don't want to lose track of them.

I'm only using LJ to keep track of fic communities, and I backed up my posts oiks ago. So I'm OK.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I cross-post to LJ from my DW account. Not sure if I'm going to delete the LJ or not. I've nothing political on there, but I am a little worried about data mining, regardless.

An interesting tidbit on all this--DW sent out their periodic update message and said they've had over 100,000 new people sign up in the past 10 days. And bunches of them are Russian and Ukrainian, so they're looking for volunteer translators.
