Questions Post #12, Vid Recs?


1. There's a gray bar at the top of my journal and everywhere I go in lj land that has a tiny pic of my icon, and stuff like "post to journal" "view friends page". Was that always there?
2. When you're about to post to your journal, so you use that gray bar, do you just call up semagic, do you go to your user info page and go to "Journal" and then "update"?
3. If you have your journal bookmarked, what is bookmarked--the "recent entries" page?
4. Do you sometimes suspect that everyone has easier ways of navigating their journals than you?
5. Do you reply to thing on your flist the first time you see the posts? Or do you mark them or remember them and go back to them? Or do you just not reply to a couple of people for a while, then all the sudden click on their names and reply to like 5 posts of theirs at once?
6. Do you still have comments from over a month ago to which you mean to reply?
7. Do you feel bad when you don't answer someone's comment to a post you've done?
8. Do you get bunnies for icons every once in a while the way you do for fic?
9. Do you ever feel like everyone is going faster than you somehow?
10. Do you have ideas for posts and half-written posts sitting around--kinda like fic?
11. Does anyone else feel weird IM'ing someone you know on lj but never talked to on IM before?
12. Does anyone else have trouble logging OFF IM once they've logged on because there are too many people they haven't talked to?
13. Is anyone else so one track minded that they can't do anything else or talk to anyone else once they're talking to one person on IM? I can't multi-task. At ALL. And when I try I just get all slow and agitated.
14. Does anyone else get itchy about their bio info? Like you'd really like to put something interesting there but can't think of anything?





Quintessential Vid Recs

So, I had these dl'ing problems and these soundcard problems and all kinds of other computer problems, but now those problems are gone. Except for the fact that I'm technologically illiterate and will never know what I am doing when it comes to these things. The point of the sad story is that I've never really watched fanvids before, and now I can. So, I'm wondering: What are your quintessential vid recs? What's the one that you think everyone should see, either because everyone talks about it the most, or because you love it the best? What's the defining fanvid of your 'ship, your character, your moment of truth? What's your canon fanon, vid-style? If you can, link please, because I suck at the whole . . . finding things.

1. No, but there is a way to get rid of it... I just can't remember how right now. LJ's been changing lots of little things lately. It's in something like "edit info" or "customize" or "options"...
2. Through info page, because I got rid of the grey bar back when I could remember how, and I don't use semagic.
3. I just have the main LJ login page bookmarked, it's always the first thing I have to do when I get here, and then I just click.
4. Yes. Like all those people who say Semagic is awesome, while when I tried it, it boggled me.
5. I open everything I know I'll be interested in in tabs, and then reply to them based on an arbitrary system of what I'm in the mood to reply to and some basis in chronology. Although sometimes I just leave a tab open because for some reason I just don't get in the mood to reply, and then I eventually realize that it's been too long and most of the discussion has been discussed.
6. No... I usually reply relatively soon, and if I don't, it's because I have completely forgotten and therefore have no intention of replying.
7. Yes, but I usually reply.
8. Every once in a very, very long while, and I'll usually hunt around to see if anyone else has already made one similar.
9. Yes. LJ moves so fast! It can be overwhelming. Especially now that I have a full time job, instead of 2-3 hours of classes a day...
10. Yeah... and they'll never get posted, because their moment has passed. But I still have them.
11. Yeah. And I don't do it very often, so it's even weirder.
12. For RL friends, yes. I don't have too many LJers on my IM list.
13. Yes! But sometimes when the conversation slows down a bit, I can kind of manage, like, looking at pictures and stuff... Reading multiple things is hard.
14. Uh huh. I wish I was more creative and interesting. Oh well.
