Totally biting the bullet...

[lettered]

I'm that person. You know the one. The one that flounced away and said she was quitting lj, fandom, the internet, and life forever, and then came back from the dead.

I am Ms Scribe.

(No, wait, did Ms Scribe actually do that? Among her crimes, I don't recall that killing her own self off and then revealing it as a hoax was one. Someone else did that though, right?)

But anyway you can call me Quitter for short.

Speaking of short, a2zmom, crazydiamondsue and my_daroga. Also Billie Piper's Mansfield Park, which, I mean, thank God. Speaking of Doctor Who and Jane Austen, did you guys know Sally Sparrow is in the new Northanger Abbey? But not as hot as Sally Sparrow because she's not, you know, Sally Sparrow.

No, actually I meant, speaking of short, here's a brief explanation (but crazydiamondsue told me once that name dropping in your lj totally gets you comments) : I left LJ because I thought it didn't have what I wanted any more. Turns out, it does have what I want, and that is you all. Or half of you.

Ha, kidding. But speaking of short again . . .

Bit of admin stuff: I am going to do a major flist reduction in the next week or so. My flist isn't a list of my friends. It's also not a reading list. If I cut you, I will probably still drop in and read you from time to time. What I want it to be, and what I need it to be right now for me, is something short I can check every day. That's why I'm narrowing it to a. very close friends and b. what I happen to be interested in right now, c. people I like who hardly ever post. When I have time, I'll still bop around to other journals and try to keep up with them.

Nevertheless, if you really really don't want me to cut you for reasons of your own, leave a comment here and I'll keep you. I don't really want anyone to think I don't care.

(Except for you. Yes you. I don't care about you, or your pony, or your grandmother's corns.)

My grandmother's corn takes offense. It's very good and you've no right to treat it like that. What did it ever do to you!

Also I wanted to know if you're free to emergency beta my (now late) hds_beltane fic. (There's a sob story that goes along, but I will spare you.) I was going to email you and ask, but now you're back on lj so I can ask here! *claps*

hey, yes, I can do that. In fact I'm awake right now and sick and can't get to sleep, so I can start on it tonight and have it back tomorrow if you like.

The thought of your grandmother's corns is making me sicker. Hear that? YOU MAKE ME SICK!

I have decided I hate ficathons. HATE THEM. They're way too stressful for my health.

*feels cosier* An rss feed just wasn't the same.

Hey, did you post that h/d thing without telling me?? Eh? Eh?

[tkp.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't.

I just emailed you though.

[timeofchange.livejournal.com]

Hey, nice to see you pop up on my Flist again.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Hiya! Nice to see you, too!

Speaking of short, a2zmom, crazydiamondsue and my_daroga. That took me FOREVER to get until I realized what the first 2 people (and I assume the third) have in common.

In conclusion, see icon. (Also, see my giant boobs on my last post. Seriously, I'm thinking of sending them into to like Ripley's or something.)

Oh, was I being vague? I thought y'all's wee-ness was universally understood. I think it's funny that I've met...7 people I know from lj and more than half were TINY.

Oh! I will need to check those out. For scientific reasons. *nods vigorously*

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

She's just jealous of our compact awesomeness.

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

She totally is. She of the freakish legginess! Short chicks FTW.

Hi there! I read you on IJ, I will read you here. You can't get away from me!

*cackles maniacal laugh*

Welcome back to LJ!

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Ha, yeah. I still was reading everyone on lj even when I was on ij. Or trying to. I think my last post on ij did not come through most people's feeds, though, and it and the fact that ij's always down and no one's ever there and it's really slow and doesn't do half the things I want, made me just go *hands*

Hi hi hi!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

HEY! Who you calling short? Just because you're genetically enhanced, doesn't make you can make fun of the little people.

I'm totally kicking you in the shins next time I see you. And so what if that's all I can reach?

(And for you information, my grandma did not have corns. Beets all the way.)

[imnotacommittee.livejournal.com]

If I am cut, I shall be brave.

[my_daroga]

Dude. I didn't realized you'd "come back." That'll show me not to check your lj/ij! J's. Since I'm behind, I've been going through my flist alphabetically. Today I decided I was ignoring the bottom half and started there.

[moss6886.livejournal.com]

I am a bad bad toad in taking so long to comment, I know...

Are you planning to keep up with your InsaneJournal? That's where I do most of my lurking these days. (I've got the same problem keeping up with my LJ flist, but I haven't been able to bring myself to cut it yet.)

[tkp.livejournal.com]

No, no badness! I'm glad you did, though, because I'd been wondering whether you were still around...mostly ij, huh?

I shall x-post in the future.

[moss6886.livejournal.com]

I do try to keep up with LJ, too, but it's only about once a week at best...
