( Dear people on LJ who don't know me, )

So I got into it, big time, on Twitter today. #nolife I was gonna do a post rehashing everything including my mental processes as I read the fuckery, but you know what? I'm not gonna. I'm just going to say the following ( Read more... )

So, apparently, as of two days ago I can't use "Banana Tree" for my layout any more. This is stupid. It wasn't a premium layout-- it looks like nobody can use the "Smooth Sailing" layout in any form. I didn't see anything about it in news either ( Read more... )
