Trying to wrap up the move to new journals today --

JournalFen does *not* want to cooperate as I bulk-move old posts using http://www.mp3vcr.com/ljsec/contents.html. It's down. But I succesfully moved most of my LJ, sans comments, to Insane Journal and Greatest Journal. I'll have to tinker with some posts that didn't make it for whatever reason, but otherwise I'm good. As to comments, I backed up using LJ-Book during Strikethrough, so I have all but the last couple months worth of comments archived to my hard drive. As I told [livejournal.com profile] rivkat, I'm happy to share any of these with you.

I've given myself until midnight to finish moving, and it oddly does feel something like moving from one home to another. I know I've forgotten something -- last time I moved houses, I forgot the Shopvac -- but like then, I'm on a self-imposed deadline. Whatever I forget I'll have to let go. It's just time to start living in the new house, even if I can't find my toothbrush because it's in a box marked "dining room."

So finished or not, I plan to delete my lj by midnight.

I'm taking my last look around the place, remembering, but ready for new experiences elsewhere.

Much love to you.

*sign* You were the first person I met on LJ. This is so sad!

It is! *sobs* But we *will* interact on the other sites. Definitely.

See you on one of the other journals :)

*emphatic nod*

Definitely.

I'll miss you! I'm going to do my best to keep up with friends on the other sites, though :)

*hugs hard*

Please do try to keep up. I don't want to lose track of you. *hugs again*

*hugs* See you in other, better, places hon! Hell, maybe even in person this fall.

[identity profile] devin-chain.livejournal.com 2007-08-12 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
If I don't see you in person, it will come as a surprise. :)

There going to be a poetry slam this term perhaps? *g*

[identity profile] devin-chain.livejournal.com 2007-08-13 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Not if I can help it, but we might have a poetry reading. I... kind of loathe the Slam. Pulling it together takes a lot out of me. And then of course the winning students either don't enroll in Creative Writing, or when they do they don't listen to criticism. Frustration.

[identity profile] txredhead.livejournal.com 2007-08-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely frustrating. Well if there's a reading or something let me know. I really enjoyed the slam so I'd be up for popping down for something of that sort.

I'll keep you posted on readings, etc. :) Thanks for supporting the program.

My pleasure!

I friended you on IJ. I'll try to get organized and migrate my LJ posts there. Might take till Sept. given what's going on at home and work, but that's the plan. I will be seeing you definitely. :)

[identity profile] devin-chain.livejournal.com 2007-08-13 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so glad. I saw your post a little while ago and worried I might not see you over there. *hugs hard* Thanks.
