tempus fugit

Yes, I have one; yes, it's the username you'd expect; yes, I'm still trying to negotiate the access/subscription thing.

I'll be honest: I'm probably not going to be using IJ after this. I'm not terribly keen on the idea of crossposting to three places, and LJ is really where I feel most connected to these days, and I like the system of following people on Dreamwidth better than I like the same system on IJ.

If you have an IJ but not a DW account, you can still comment there with OpenID, and I think you're all familiar with how LJ handles comments.

So yeah. IJ's been an interesting ride, but it looks like I'm moving on now.

So my computer has AIDS.

(And by "AIDS" I mean "the XPProtection2009 virus, which is an UTTER BITCH to eradicate from one's system." But AIDS is catchier, and since this virus effectively shuts down my immune system -- i.e. my antiviral software -- and makes lots and lots of copies of itself, I figure there are worse viral analogies.)

I'm in the midst of getting all my files off my hard drive -- thankfully, none of it's corrupted or anything -- and reformatting the damn thing, so I probably won't have full computer access until late tomorrow or earlyish on Sunday. So if you don't see me around, that's why. School computer labs are a week-ass panacea, since they close far too damned early.

aaaaaaaaand this had to happen when I was getting my write back. and before the eleven-hour tech rehearsal tomorrow in which I have virtually nothing to do. Woooo.

In more -- actually, I'm not sure how to describe it, exactly, but in other news, I've been sucked into Axis Power Hetalia. In a rather big oh-god-history-will-never-be-the-same way. I can't do porn for it, I don't think -- I think I'd lose what remaining self-respect I have if I did, because the way my mind works I am fine with the cannibal demon dubcon threesome porn with crossgenerational incest and hermaphrodites and dubiously-aged participants but countryporn is a line I will not cross. I never said it was logical. But gen? My lord, the possibilities are endless -- the Napoleonic Wars! America's rise to prominence in the world arena! Imperialism and how much sharper the abuses of power become with anthropomorphism! The Industrial Revolution! The Cold War! The United Kingdom watching America grow up and grow away and everything tangled up in that eeeeeee okay I might be taking this entirely too seriously, but dammit, rendering historical narrative this way is FUN.
