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.

2. I used to use semagic when I did the Herald (saved SO much time) but now I just go to info page and click update.
3. I have my info page, my main page, my friends page and my filtered friends paged all bookmarked. Because
4. Yes. Like, I'm always shocked at how many great new writers/stories Kita finds. I know she's got a large FoF list (again, used to use it for the Herald) but damn! I wish you could hide the journal entries you've already read and commented to when you get interrupted in the middle of flist searching.
5. I used to read my flist in order and comment as movied. If I'd been gone for a few days I'd click on the LJ name of people I knew I would have missed something from. Now I'm so behind I'm just going back and clicking on whatever I have time for today and whatever grabs my interest. Lucky you. *g*
6. If I don't get back to them IMMEDIATELY they will sit in my Gmail in box and mock me until they've gotten "old" and I delete them thinking, 'Oh, they don't remember now, anyway.' I still feel horrible, though.
7. Yes. I know that has mileage of varying sorts for all sorts of people, but I've only recently (in the past few months) not answered EVERY single comment to anything I post. I even answer comments from non-flisters that I find annoying or pointless, even though it's pointless to do so and it annoys me. And I'm polite when I do it, dammit.
8. Yes. Which sucks because I have no graphic design gene in my body. When
9. Since birth.
10. No. I never write a post until I'm composing it in the post window. I have ideas from over a year ago still floating around my head, though. I'm often auditing the vault at the credit union and saying, "Five thousand, ten thousand, you know, when Angel's funny it has more weight, because it's ANGEL and when Xander's angry or sad it has more weight, because it's XANDER and there's some meta in that somewhere, twenty thousand, thirty thousand..."
11. Yes. I don't think I've ever cold IM'd someone before. I don't IM much, though. Except on gmail (or I did once) and I figure they all know me.
12. Nope. I'm big on the "Gotta go!"
13. Argh! Yes. I've commented to Stoney when I meant to comment to Entre. Luckily, Entre gets it when I suddenly ask her about winter pansy varities and points me to toward Stoney. Stoney, in turn, gamely tackles vegetarian recipe requests meant for Entre.
14. Is mine still the one Stoney wrote for me? I can't remember. I think everyone interested in knowing me knows about the Dolly Parton/Xander/cheesecake/weiner dog freak-show that is my journal, so I try to get by on that...I think?
Vid Recs Email me if you can't get to one of them. I may have already sent you this...they're not all S/X, by the way. They're mostly Angel. :)
And a note to my above "I suck at LJ navigation" I have the above icon identified in my list as BtVS when it's obviously AtS. Sigh. I should pick one and stick to it...
