Apologies for the Buffy Essay Spamming

[shadowkat]

Difficult day. Bio-chemistry is completely off again, so slept miserably last night, complete with the night sweats (even with the air conditioning on) and felt hot and flushed all day long. Haven't felt like this in a while - so am guessing it's dietary related, which means I've got to do some rethinking diet wise, cut back on eating, cut back on sugar/salt intake and alcohol. Maybe go off some of this entirely. Ick. I hate getting older.

Freaked a bit when I found out via flist that geocities is shutting down all their sites and links, which means if your site was on geocities - it will be gone soon. I'd saved over 50 essays on geocities. All written, frighteningly enough between 2002-2004. Actually 90% were written between Feb 2002 and November 2002. Bad time. Very bad time. Some people cope with pills and alcohol, me? I wrote Buffy essays. I'm sure there are better ways...but what works, works.

It's odd that I freaked, considering just a few months ago - I was thinking of taking down the essays myself. But tonight? I spent two hours manically transferring them to my lj - because there is no where else I can store them - hard drive isn't really a good option, takes up too much room. Also the cut past didn't work as well. Was much faster just migrating them here. May move them again to Dreamwidth - haven't decided yet. You've only been spammed by ten - fifteen of them, all behind cut tags, or you would be well within your rights to defriend me for spamming your reading lists with twenty page essays that you don't give a rat's ass about. [**ETA: I migrated over 50 to my lj, they have all been made "JUST ME: PRIVATE". (If you see my Restless or Robot Metaphor or Authority Figures essays let me know, because those were made private.) I did make fifteen or so open to the public, because they pertained to things discussed in recent posts and I'd thought they might be of interest to some of my new readers, regarding the comic book characters arcs. Shouldn't be an issue, since all behind cut-tags tabs, so take up no space, also, like I said - tis a one time thing. Won't happen again.] If one is not polite to others, one suffers the consequences.

Anyhow, sorry for the mini-spam. It's an one night only thing. Promise.

Also, just for future reference, if you want to post something but not have it show up on other people's flists:

1) Click the little "Edit" link next to your Date (I assume you're posting using a web browser (http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml)).

2) You'll see the "Date Out Of Order" checkbox. Just click that, and when you post your entry, it'll get posted to your journal without showing up on other people's flists.

Thanks. But...Huh? Date out of order??? (Didn't see that.)

I just clicked "Just Me: Private". (Most of the essays, about 65% aren't visible. )

Once you click the little "Edit" link next to your date, the webpage should change and show your month, day, year, and time as editable fields. Below that should be a checkbox for "Date Out of Order".

Making the posts private work too.
