Exclusive Insanity

Ask me a question about each (or just one) of the following:

1. Friends
2. Sex
3. Music
4. Drugs
5. Love
6. LiveJournal

No matter how rude, sexual, or confidential. Then post this in your journal and see what questions you get asked.

LiveJournal has released a feature that allows users to track journals and posts without listing the journal among your friends. Basically, you click a button and BOOM! All posts on the journal or all comments on the post (depending on which you're tracking) are sent to your email.

Sound harmless? Well, maybe.

I think it's creepy. I'm already about 90% friends-only; only the fluff posts and memes are left un-friends-locked, and those who don't comment to me and let me know they want to know the boring details of my daily life don't get added as friends. But still.

Suppose I make a public post - for whatever reason; I have friends who don't have LJs and I link them to certain posts sometimes - and someone wishes to make a comment on it that's really only meant for me. The easiest way to do this has always been to comment and then quickly delete it. That way I get it in my email but no one else sees it. Well, now someone COULD see it, because if you're watching a post, you get those comments in your email as well.

Not to mention the fact that I'm sure we've all had those moments when we post something and then think 'oops' and delete it because it's not necessarily something we want everyone seeing. 'Oops' isn't going to cut it if someone's already watching you, is it?

At the very least, I think we should be informed when someone is stalking our journals or our posts, and who those people are. Paranoia could sink in pretty fast otherwise.

anax provided a nice handy link to the release post for those who would like to express their concerns. I've already expressed mine.

I would like to share a link that has kept me amused in the time between the tasks I'm taking care of at work today.

I am enthralled. It takes so little...

Anime Evolution is one week from now...

I must find random snatches of time to watch Ouran High School Host Club, because it sounds deliciously cracky and if I decide I love it I want the opportunity to find stuff for it at the con. Most excellent.

Other than that, I'll probably be looking for stuff that catches my eye from Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter X Hunter, Digimon (any season), Gundam Wing, Tsubasa Chronicles, Hikaru no Go, Uninhabited Planet Survive (not that there will be anything, but if by some odd chance I see it, I'm so buying), and possibly Azumanga Daioh.

Plus, you never know what else I might find. I'm sure there will be treasures.

Ed's dub voice actor will be there. I am bringing my poster of Ed and getting him to sign it. And I will be happy.

Other than Artist's Alley, the venders, and the autograph booths, I'll have the cosplay on Monday and some AMVs to catch. I haven't decided which panels I'm going to try and make it to (basically because I have yet to see the con schedule), but I'm sure there will be a few of those as well.

It will be fantastically delicious (to steal a phrase from Jer). I'm psyched.

DRAGONLANCE ANIMATED MOVIE!!!!!!!

It's true!

This is like my oldest fandom. The very first thing I ever wrote fanfiction for (although it's not up anywhere, thank god). The series Sim and I spent hours making radio shows for, coming up with silly stories about, and just generally obsessing over way back in the days of grade 9.

I can't wait to see this! It's gonna be awesome!

Anyone want to rec me a good manga? Stuff with scanlations available is good, preferably finished but ongoing is okay too. I like slashable series, action, and sometimes the cute fluffy romance series. Ocassional angst is good, and here-and-there humor is a must.

Also if it's *really* super good, I don't mind recs that involve going out and buying the translated version. Heh.

So, any takers?

I watched a couple episodes of Digimon last night.

For anyone who knows me, that says it all right there.

Does someone want to rec me some new, good Ken/Daisuke fics?

So, yesterday I drove Cody's jeep from Barnhartvale in to work, and back out again. Mainly because he'd dislocated a muscle in his neck and was on medication, but also because it wouldn't really make sense for him to drive all the way in, drop me off, drive all the way back out, and then have to come back and pick me up. This way, a lot less gas is wasted.

I was right and work sucked, but oh well. It happens.

Today's a McCleaners day. Whee...

Manuscript Status: Three monologues down, one to go.
Flash Assignment Status: Twelve sections taken care of (or my partner is working on them), three to go.

Total homework left to do: one monologue, three sections of Flash encyclopedia, one short essay, one review, two short assignments.

Not... *too* bad...

One week before I have to have all of this done. Although the manuscript is due Monday and the Flash assignment is due Thursday. I should be able to manage if I keep at it. I'm just going to be keeping very busy.

Work from nine to five today... fun times...

Saw the Fullmetal Alchemist movie yesterday.

SO much love for Al. Al is much love. And Ed too, of course, but mostly Al because Al was adorable.

And the ending had the one thing I wanted above everything else. I am happy now.
