I am still here.
For anyone who's wondering, I really am still posting here. I just do a lot more locked posts these days.
I do accept new readers, but you've got to say something to me. I am not here to increase your 'friend' count and pad your ego, and I don't even know if you can read my journal if you don't comment at least once. Comments to this entry are ( Read more... ) -

Review: Pretty in Scarlet
I am very lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderfully talented people. Two of them took and gone and went and teamed up and created a group they call Murder Ballads. A bit macabre, but thankfully that genre is not the be-all and end-all of their musical catalogue.

I really don't like the new LJ post page. Where are my options to change whether it's friends-only, public, or to a custom friend group? :(
Oh, but y'know, that repost box sure looks good. No problems with THAT, of course.
