HEY FLIST!

MY DEAR FRIEND [Bad username or site: sogep title= @ livejournal.com] MADE A BANNER FOR LJ, AND IT'S UP FOR VOTE!

IF YOU COULD TAKE A SPLIT SECOND OF YOUR TIME TO VOTE FOR HER BANNER HERE IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

THANKS GUYS :D

I discovered an aspect of Photoshop that I was clueless about before, and the discovery inspired me to experiment - quite a bit. So I've created 21 icons. (More than that, actually, but these are the ones I'm gonna share for now lol). Since the set is completely random I'm not going to crosspost them anywhere lol. I'm posting them mainly to get feedback - to see if I'm any good or not. But if you actually want to USE them, then go ahead with credit, you know the drill lol.

For those of you who don't already know, there has been a strike scheduled for Friday, March 21st, 2008, during which we hope to have many members of LiveJournal provide LJ with absolutely no content for twenty-four hours. This means no posting and no commenting. If you post elsewhere and have it set up to be posted through a feed on LiveJournal, don't do it. Stay away from LiveJournal for twenty-four hours. That can't be too hard, can it? I know some of you are probably quite active on LiveJournal and will find it hard to stay away for an entire day, just as I will, but this is something that needs to be done, to show the people running LiveJournal that we're watching the changes they are making, that we're paying attention, that we're discontent, and that we want to be heard and taken in to consideration. We are not simply users who can be tossed to the side and ignored. We are the people who make up LiveJournal. Without us, without the content we create, without our words, our voices, our creativity, our participation, there would be no LiveJournal. This is a fact, and it needs to be realized and understood and then taken in to consideration when making decisions regarding the way that LiveJournal is run. The strike is only a few days away, so there isn't all too much time to prepare. While this is unfortunate, it isn't enough to keep this strike from taking place. It will take place, the second it is meant to, and it would be best to have as many people take part as possible. Please, spread the word. Spread it fast. There are only a few days to organize this. If you find that you care about LiveJournal or care about the people you interact with on LiveJournal or simply want it to remain a place where you can entertain yourself without constant censorship and money-hungry practices being thrown in without the consideration of those who use the service, act now. If you don't wish to spread the word, that is fine, but please: refrain from using LiveJournal on Friday, March 21st. Do something else for a change. It's for a good cause. (:

For background on this strike and why it is being held, please read the following posts:

What's this about?

* It's about free and ad-free LiveJournal accounts being abolished for new members, ignoring the advice from the newly-formed Advisory Board.
* It's about LJ staff trying to sneak this decision in under the radar, and when people found out, telling the users it was done 'to make the signup process less confusing'.
* It's about LJ staff failing to apologize for trying to hide the facts from view and for lying about the actual reasons for their actions.
* And finally, it's about the latest decision to hide certain user interests from the list of Most Popular Interests, some of them being fanfiction, bisexuality, sex and depression. This decision was not announced or explained in any way. Users found out for themselves.

Okay! With the results of the last poll, and some personal thoughts, I've decided to go with Clarice, little_ribbon. :D Now hopefully you can get her before she's all gone! ;_;

And I'm saying this here because I'm not going to be on AIM/MSN for... awhile. xD For serious, this time. It depends on how well I manage my time, so wish me good luck, yeah? Haha. If all else fails, I'll be back on Wednesday. ♥ And no, this is NOT an LJ hiatus; like I could ever do that successfully, lol.

Note: I did a much needed friends cut today. If you were cut, don't take it personally. Either you were inactive, never commented, or I just skipped over your entries. Who knows, maybe one day we'll meet again and things'll be different, but... for now, that's what I needed to do.

I had the biggest scare of my life today. @__@ My wallet fell out of my pocket when I rode to work today! My wallet... with my debit card inside. I only realized this happened AFTER I clocked in, so I couldn't try to find it until I went on lunch.

So I rode home, looking all around as I did, bracing myself for the need to cancel my debit card... only to find out that some amazing soul picked it up, saw the address on my ID card, and returned it.

Holy shit. I wanted to cry tears of joy. After a really shitty shift, finding that there IS a good person out there... my faith in humanity has been restored. Thank you, stranger. ♥

I am really upset with a lot of things on the latest news post....

But!

This is the best thing I've read in TWO DAYS

OMG I LOVE HEROES FANDOM SO, SO MUCH. HERE, HAVE MY BABIES OR SOMETHING.

And oh dear, it's almost 4 AM. I should probably go to bed before it's light outside! Unlike yesterday, when I stayed up until 7 AM. Yeah, that wasn't very smart of me. xD

So, I'm sure you all know of the wank by now. If not, then dude, do you live under a rock?

Anyway, I'm not going to waste this entry by being all scared of it. 'Cause I'm not.

But COME ON, PEOPLE, WHERE IS THE RAAAAGE?!

I invite you all to express your anger about this shit here. Hell, feel free to rant about anything. I'm kinda in a bitchy mood ('cause that's what happens when I gossip with seer), so come on! Rant!

Let's all wank together. (LOL that sounds so wrong). And I thank mneiai for indirectly inspiring this. ♥
