RhymePhile's Rat Race

Happy Birfday to vestafour! I hope your coming year is filled with happiness, love, and good health!

In other news, InsaneJournal is having another permanent account sale, for only $35 (ETA Which comes with 300 userpics!). I went ahead and took advantage of this, mostly because I'm not too fond of what our new Russian Overlords have been saying.

It's been disturbing, to say the least, to read these vague posts about taste and decency and the new "Thought Police" standards they plan on implementing. What bothers me more is that they've provided absolutely no clear-cut answers.

LJ is remarkable in that you have almost instant access to your audience. You post something, someone asks a question, and you can answer it in virtually seconds. What the fuck is going on here that we can't get simple answers to our questions? And these questions are important, especially in light of the "taste and decency" comments, and comments about religion. GAH. It makes me angry.

I wish I could pick all of you up (Friends and regular readers alike) and stick everyone over at InsaneJournal. I know it will allow us more freedom, but until my audience moves, I'll only visit there on occasion. But I figured that for only $35 for a permanent account, it was worth it, even if I never use it. I don't mind giving money to uphold IJ's freedom.

I like LJ and all the bells and whistles it provides (even though I never bothered changing my layout because I don't...sorta...know how), but if this Big Brother, 1984, Thoughtpolice, crimethink-esque feeling continues, I'm taking my toys and going to IJ.

ETA 2: Does anyone know of an easy way to batch-save all my icons that I have here at LJ? I already know how to move everything over to IJ

Come visit RhymePhile on a Rampage (see what I did there?) over at InsaneJournal and add me to your Friends if you'd like. It's there as a backup for now, since I'm paid up here through 2009 and all my friends are here. The other reason I chose InsaneJournal is because I can merge everything over to IJ.

And all I did was to copy and paste all my interests into IJ, which means anyone can still find me. Interestingly enough, no one lists "Toby Beecher" as an interest on IJ? For shame! Nor is there "Meloniliciousness"! C'mon!

I don't plan on moving anytime soon, but y'know, just in case the slash hits the fan and I need to skedoo, I have a place to go.
