B-day wishes from my old friends on lj

[brightly_lit]

I just saw that some of you lovely people left me sweet birthday wishes on lj! The new lj TOS was it for me, I'm afraid, so I've moved entirely to DW (although I haven't posted, because I have like two friends here :-P), but that's where I'll be if you want to find me. I'd love to friend anyone here that I was friends with on lj, if you like. <3

I've gotta say, I love DW. It's just like lj was in the old days, when I first came to love it. I'mma try to cross-post this to lj, but I don't know if it'll go through since I didn't accept the TOS--we'll see!

In any case, sw0rdy, majestic_duxk, and jj1564--THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MY AWESOME BIRTHDAY POSTS!! I LOVED THEM. (jj, now I want chocolate!) There's no way to know about pm's I was sent because I seldom get e-mail notifications for them, but I got a couple of notifications, and so thank you to you lovely ladies, too!

An Easter birthday hasn't happened for me since young childhood, such that I started to believe I must have imagined it could have ever happened, but here we are again! It was a good one. I miss you folks. Any of you want to find me here and friend me, I'd be delighted--exact same username here as lj.

Love you guys!! You brought a big smile to my face with your birthday wishes. <3 <3 <3

Hey, I'm here! As you saw. Thanks for telling me how easy the import was-- I'm all caught up! And I am with you on this being like the good old days of LJ. Honestly, this format is cleaner and easier to read than the current LJ, and functionality seems much less buggy, and I like the writing style of the site admins! All wins. Thanks for leading the way. <3

Really clean, light load on the servers, and I agree about the admins! Glad you're all imported and here! <3

Glad you had a good birthday! I saw you went camping with S_C and that is pretty awesome!

[brightly_lit]

Yes, it was very fun! <3

Glad to see you here!

I left you a couple of Birthday pm's but alas, you may not have seen them, either way I'm glad you had a good day and are enjoying it over here x

Yeah, still bored and stalking random dWers...

I'm getting used to dW. The community activity isn't all that ... active (yes, I have a way with words). LJ was just starting to add decent features -- the heart ("like") and decent statistics. And the filtering is weird on here. I haven't quite got Semagic working well on dW either. All of that aside, it's nice to see friendly people and not all the journals that just look like ads -- not to mention a Terms of Service that isn't so authoritarian. I've mostly abandoned my LJ, except that I do continue to check my friends' page and comment there.

Anyway... Happy Belated Birthday (or at this point, am I just considered REALLY early?)

Yeah, I'm disappointed with the lack of community participation here, too. But I do love this format, and no way was I going to sign that crazy TOS (especially when I know for a fact I'll be violating it--if I want to write slash fic, then by God I'm gonna write slash fic, and I'm sure as fuck not going to sign something saying I'm not with no intention of abiding by what I just signed; that's just common sense, imo). I do really miss being able to keep up with my friends over there, though.

Thanks for the b-day wishes! :-D

Oh, I had no issue "signing" a Russian document that I have no intention of honoring. Granted I'm not posting there anymore, but I am commenting on friends' posts. If they ban my account .. I don't care. I'll create a new one to keep up with LJ friends. If that country doesn't think they need to abide by international law, why should I abide by there's?
