Since I'm now mainly at Dreamwidth (and other places), and I don't expect to be here very much at all from now on, I've had a big purge of anyone on my reading list who I mainly keep in touch with in other ways.

I've been missing livejournal, and its ability to let me post rubbish without having to be coherent (unlike my blog, which I feel should be properly written and all that). As a result, I may be back ( Read more... ) -
