Think it's because we're so awesome?

Before I imported my entries, cross-posting worked just fine. Suddenly my DW is having a heart attack every time I ask it to post to LJ for me, even though the little cross-post ticky boxes are clearly ticked.

I AM NOT HAPPY, DREAMWIDTH JOURNAL. ;-p

Note to self (and others like me): If you change your LJ password, you need to update your cross-post settings. Yes I'm a doofus.

I AM HAPPY, DREAMWIDTH JOURNAL. :-D

Whee! I took an extra day off for the holiday, so I'm at home enjoying not being at work. Tomorrow will probably be twelve shades of hell, so I'm not going to think about it.

After mulling it over for a while, I've finally made the switch to Dreamwidth. Importing my LJ entries took, like, negative time it was so fast! I imported all entries and comments and it took about two minutes, tops. I am beyond impressed!

Other than the cross-posting footer at the bottom of my entries, my friends still exclusively on LJ shouldn't notice a difference. You can continue to comment on LJ, or you can use Open ID to comment on Dreamwidth, your choice. :-)

For anyone interested in moving to Dreamwidth but wants to know more about it first, here's the link to the FAQ:

Edited to add... And! Thanks to Kat, the Dreamwidth Support Ninja, I can also give you the link to A guide to Dreamwidth for LiveJournal users:

I'm not getting paid for this (I have a free account!), I'm just being a good LJ/DW neighbor. I'm just starting to learn my way about the site, so I'm sure there will be many, many teeth-gnashing posts in the future. ;-)

Off to do stuff!

Trying out the cross-posting doohickey on Dreamwidth. This calls for a new icon especially for that purpose! It's always a good day for a new icon...

Is LJ being cantankerous for anyone else, or just me??? Bastage.

Also, check out my Dreamwidth emoticon mood theme! annoyed = (>_<) I be seriously loving that. :-D

Also also, I like John Mayer's new tune about bombs and love and heartbreak and warfare and sulfur clouds. It sounds rather unlike him, in an interesting way. Sounds...more commercial? Poppier? Less troubadourish? Whatevs. Anyway, he may have a Confederate flag metaphorically tattooed on his peener, but the boy (douche) can write a tune. Bastage.

Woohoo! I'm a paid user again! Additional user pics have been uploaded (same old ones, just...useable again), and as soon as I dash this baby off I'm updating my LJ style. Whee!!! It's probably wrong and spastic of me to enjoy being a paid user as much as I do. If I could just manage to catch a friggin' permanent account sale... ::grumble::

In other news, we didn't have a snow day. In other other news, I got in early again this morning, which meant I could leave early. Whee! I'm digging getting off at 3:50 instead of 5:30. If I'm not careful this might just become a habit. The snow is completely gorgeous and I love it. Not crazy about driving in it, but I do love the way it looks. It's going to be crazy cold tonight, like, 10 degrees or something. Popped by the store on the way home to load up on snacks and stuff so I wouldn't have to venture out tomorrow unless I lost my mind and absolutely HAD to go out for something. I am much of the being prepared.

Seems like I had other things to share but for the moment I'm stumped. Hmmmm, I'm sure it'll come to me when I least expect it...not unlike the Spanish Inquisition! No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Happy birthday, Justin! Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, I hope your day's been better than mine. :-)

In other news, Heath Ledger got an Oscar nod, baby! Yeah, I'd like to read everyone else opinion on the nominations, but seeing how I can't view my friends list, that remains a pipe dream of the highest order. Oy friggin' vey, dammit.

Hit Half-price Books after work and scored some cheap (kinda) music. Got the following for a buck each: American Eagle Outfitters: Various Songs, a compilation CD. She Gave Me Love + 2, The Getaway People. Razorblade Suitcase, Bush. Bought Life's Too Good, Sugarcubes, for 7.98. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...

For two bucks, The 'N-SYNC Star Profile (their spelling, not mine!), by Nina Potter. Hilariously, the font used looks suspiciously like the Star Trek font. Check it out! "UNAUTHORIZED. 100 page full color picture book and audiio documentary CD." Also, "The AUDIO DOCUMENTARY provides a whole new means of communicating news and views on the band and their fans. Packed with original interviews, this CD is a unique and informative must for every fan." CD made and packaged in Germany. Squee! You know you're jealous. I rule.

In other other news, Gavin Rossdale's got the kind of voice (and singing style, if you can call it that) that seriously wears thin after a song and a half. He's a cutie, but holy bejeebus, a singer he ain't.

In other news, I'm going through my journal adding tags to old entries. Waaaaah! There's a ton of them! In other other news, I renewed my LJ for another year. Yay! Now if I could just get a lifetime subscription so I never have to think about it again...

Yeah, I know that I just ordered a new bag. I continue to shop, because...I love bags! I can't help it!!! From Bluefly.com this time. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, bags.

( Online shopping for bags. I loooooooooooooooooove it. )

I may be on crack, but...isn't there a way to log into two LJs at once? If not, there *should* be. Honestly. If there *is* a way and it's totally obvious, I apologize in advance for being a doof.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, guess I need to clarify as yes, there's a way to *update* another LJ without logging out, but that's not quite what I want. I want to edit an entry in another LJ, so that will require logging in. Waah! So I'm back to my original question: is there a way to log into two LJs at once?

Also, is there any rhyme or reason to the posting of permanent account purchase availability? I waaaaaaaaaaaant a permanent account, like, yesterday. The one and only time I remember being around while the window of opportunity was open, I couldn't decide whether or not to spend the moolah. ::smacks own head::

If you have any info, help a sister out. ::big anime eyes::

[Edit] Thank you, anonymous comment person! Loading up two LJs to two separate browsers (IE, Firefox, Netscape) did indeed do the trick. And OMG, why is Netscape so slow? I've never been able to figure that out.
