LJ User Icons

[plonq]

I got a note from LJ the other day advising me that my extra Userpics Package will be expiring in a few days. I do like my extra userpics, and I would love to renew the subscription. The only fly in the renewal ointment is the fact that Livejournal has been down more than up the past few days. I don't recall hearing of any elections in Russia these days, so I'm not sure what their issue is this time around. One of their programmers ran over the dog of a Russian mobster perhaps.

I seem to be spreading myself over a lot of social networks these days (LJ, G+, FB, Twitter, even a Dreamwidth account that I almost never log into...) and I seem to be posting very little to any of them. There have been times recently when I have considered contracting my footprint just a bit and dropping some of the services - then again, other than Livejournal it's not like it costs me anything to be on any of them.

If I did end up dropping off any of the social networks, LJ is about the only one I consider indispensable. It may not be the most reliable, but it is familiar and comfortable, and most of the people I came here to hang out with are still here at some level.

Except those newer, more respectable shoes are only "respectable" because all the sheep are wearing them. And all those sheep are charging headlong into the chute that leads to the branding machine, where they'll be dipped, shorn, tattooed, chipped and impregnated.

But hey? GREAT looking shoes!
