So you know I'm not dead
Work has been incredibly time consuming. It has eaten up all my evenings in this first week of lessons, not to mention all the behind the scenes work associated with admin and meetings before classes and that is only going to increase from here on in. I'm afraid I haven't had much more than an occasional peep at the flist.
Just for the record, I would like to get a Dreamwidth account when it opens to the public, because it is so fandom friendly, so I am just letting it be known I would love to have a code from any kind person that wants to give it, when that happens. Having said that, I have absolutely no intention of leaving LJ. I have a paid account and don't intend to just walk away from that. My friends are here and I hope you stay, as I intend. I'm interested in what DW do and want to follow it and it is a better back up than IJ re the importing comments etc, so if LJ does something more incredibly dumb than they did with strikethrough, I have sanctuary.
zvi has posted on metafandom on how to follow with an LJ feed, anyone who moves to DW. I did it successfully with mal.
Apropos of nothing, I'm addicted to Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream - the whole segment. I won't embarrass myself by admitting how many times I have watched it! *weeps and laughs* Thank you xanthe_lj for that! I have converted it thanks to bluespirit_star's headsup on a Giveaway of the Day conversion software and loaded it into the new shiny iPod, dl-ed the whole episode of BGT and burned it to disk, joined two Susan Boyle fan sites and this Saturday have been googling her obsessively and watched and read everything I could find. Yes, I know I need help with my addiction *g*. But I really hope she goes to the limits and achieves her dreams.
