Holy carp, Livejournal, how many extra little boxes and note thingies do we need? Y'know, at this point I think cutting down on my Internet time is a good thing just so my brain doesn't short out from the increasing amount of buttons, entry fields, and little icons for extraneous linkage. That decorative bar with the butterflies on top of the LJ

This is... such a depressing entry in so many ways, and it made me laugh for the sheer relatability. ;) I barely touch FB and I refuse to go near Twitter, and having them invade LJ just makes me gnash my teeth. The dentist says I need to stop doing that.

The cashier thing sounds like stand-up material or something. You can't make shit like that up. Irony. It's like steely, only less refined.

Also! OMFG have you seen this thing?

I never did figure out how to use deviantArt...

Dunno what version of Safari you have, but there are extensions that can eg. clean up the Facebook layout and block Flash content and ads from websites, which helps reduce the distracting visual clutter. Haven't come across one to get rid of poorly chosen background images though :P
