I'm old, and I don't like change.

BUT

All sorts of doomsayers are predicting a LiveJournal Armageddon, and I want to have my ass covered if and when it all goes down. Therefore, this weekend I blew the dust off my Dreamwidth account (which I've had for 4 years and used exactly once) and uploaded my LJ to it.

So I guess I feel better?

Anyway, if any of you are thinking of leaving LJ permanently and going to DW instead, you can friend me there if you want. My account username is the same: vanillalime at DW.

The latest shenanigans at LJ are annoying and disconcerting, but frankly, I find the atmosphere and innerworkings of Facebook to be 10x more sinister. (But maybe that's just me.) I personally don't see myself leaving LJ anytime soon. What remains of the Oz fandom still seems entrenched here, and I worry about it fracturing itself into non-existence. So, I'll continue posting here and at oz_daily and maintaining the leeloni comm. I'll amuse myself, if no one else. LOL

I'm sticking around for the time being.

And you're right about FB. Every time I get one of those "helpful" posts that says, "You just liked a page by so-and-so, maybe you should look at your privacy options," I always think, "I need to block FB from seeing my FB posts, likes, & etc."

I know too much about my Facebook friends, and Facebook knows too much about me. :/
