Definitely staying at blogger forever. There are a lot of morons around here too, but far less than at lj.
Also, there's no fecking "friends only!!!" option. If you're going to post something online, then I'm sorry but you've gotta be willing to have anyone see it - that's the risk you take. If you don't want anyone to see it - this is why we have diaries, journals..y'know, the books with blank pages? yeah. If you only want a handful of friends to see it (in most cases they're all people the person knows irl), then hi, e-mail.
There's no silly "friend!!!" system either..I mean, ok, yeah, it's fine, having the friends page and all, but like, let's leave a comment on someone's lj and be like friend me? I'll friend you then you can read my lj. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna friend someone I don't even fucking know. And then people have like 437298 friends listed, you know there's no way they keep up on that many different ljs...it's like a status-thing, which lj in general has been since the beginning, and it's always pissed me off, which's why I never wanted one. Still don't. Have it only so I can comment on other peoples' ljs and not be an anonymous n00b, as I've said. And it's free now entirely, for whoever, which's an odd switch I think...so ljs should get a whole lot less "special" now, which would be nice.
Or we'll just get 463892 snobby n00bs who just want to be able to say they have an lj.

On a side-note... someone made a Macphisto-lj, and it has its moments but it doesn't sound like Mackie to me at all.. there's also a community that maybe ten people are on with a few posts and lots of dead links. *shrugs* I have no interest in following either... I adore Mackie, but I guess I've gotten to the point where I have my own take on his character so firmly in my mind that I haven't a whole lot of patience with half-assed unwriterly attempts at him..

I *so* sound like a fecking snob right now, don't I? *laughs* wow. uhm...sorry. *giggles*

**a bit later: ok so I read a bit more of the Mack-lj, and when you get into it and go through the comments, it's actually pretty good, I've a hunch they read the Macphisto society as well, there're a fair number of characters floating about and the sort of questions he gets into feel like it... but it's their own little world they've got going, with some others rp'ing Gavin and Bono (Fly?) and the rest, so I'll leave them alone. *smiles a bit* I've enough U2s of my own to deal with. *g*

As for my day. went into school to invade SFE again today with Daf and Laur, only we went to the band room first, harassed Mead for a bit, were party to him passing in this huge long metal pipe-railing-thing? I don't know what the fuck it was, in thru his office window..then he changed his mind and had us pass it back out again. *giggles* I don't even know... left there, went down the hall a ways, and saw Swais! yay! I haven't seen him since I left, I don't think, and I *knew* he'd cut his hair but hadn't seen it yet...it doesn't look bad, and he still looks like Bono, but it was definitely better long. *tear* So we talked with him a bit, he and one of the other science teachers were arguing back and forth over micro- and macro-biology.. *mad giggles* I miss the science-humour, I'm not big on science but with B and Swais and Prouty and whoever all else, it was always so fun to just hang around them and be party to the insanity. Took our leave after a minute or two, Laur brought me to go see the new English office, now that they finally *have* one..we poked in and they were wrapping up their Christmas party, but we were invited right in and offered food. *laughs* We chatted with Klumpp and Westby for a bit, which was cool, and they passed a candycane-shaped chocolate cake onto us, cos we figured SFE'd make short work of it. *g*
Poked into the tech wing to see if Glenn was there, wasn't, so we went down to B's room, where I'm assuming the whole club was (as well as Bethie and, after a bit, Matt Duell..wait, he a senior or he graduate already? I always forget), despite it being after school on the last day before break. *smiles* I'm glad the sheer geekiness of the club in general survives. ^_^ Erik was there, of course, so again I ended up talking to him like nearly the whole time, while people attacked the cake, B passed out study-booklets (which I know right now about two people will look at at all over break *G*), then we all just hung around and talked and B, Laur's brother Kevin, Nate, and Bethie, all got into a rousing game of penny-soccer (only with dimes and quarters and whatever). *laughs* It was fun, it was really nice.
Laur disappeared, we wandered about for a bit, found her, came back about 4. Merani and I walked down the IGA and Eckerd's to buy a few more gifts, came back, wrapped some, and I attempted to make some candy. *laughs* It should be chilled enough by now, will go try some when I'm done here..
..which is actually like now cos megs hasn't been online yet *big blue sad puppy eyes, as lower lip trembles*, and I need to go bring up some laundry.
