LiveJournal has kept me sane through a lot of phases in my life. I'm not necessarily at a super crazy point right now, but I still feel like it's a good time to expand my friend group. I've met some wonderful people through these friending communities and I'm hoping for continued luck.
As for me, I am simultaneously entirely too serious and ridiculously silly. I think the word quaint was pretty much created to describe me. I have social anxiety that had an extreme impact on my life up until about three to three and a half years ago, but now most people don't even think I'm especially shy or quiet any more. I say have rather than had because it's still a part of who I am even if it's pretty much under control now. I don't have a super active social life yet, but I'm to a point where I imagine it possible for me to have one - I just have to figure out where/how to meet people in the real world.
Regarding my journal, I have a thing for enigmatic subject lines for my entries. The content of my entries is my life and thoughts and they are all tagged pretty meticulously. I write about work, friends, my fiance, my thoughts - nothing super exciting, but it suits me. It's an ebb and flow - sometimes I go more than a week with nothing, sometimes I'm writing every night. It just depends. I don't necessarily comment super often, either, but I read absolutely every entry my friends make. In turn, it doesn't bother me at all if someone doesn't comment on all my entries - sometimes, you just may not have anything to say in response and I understand.
In LJ friends, I'm pretty open to all sorts. I do, however, have a few preferences: I'd like to be able to easily read your posts (decent punctuation, little netspeak), I'd rather not be preached to every other post, I like pictures, but I'd prefer more words than images, and ideally I'd like to get to know you, not just learn all about the things you're a fan of, if that makes sense. Most of my entries are friends only so it would help if you left a comment here so I know to add you back if you're interested.

We've just brought User Cluster #9 back online, and the errors being caused by the maintenance should stop occurring. Notifications are sending again, but may be delayed as there is a backlog of notifications waiting to be sent. If you are still encountering any errors, please open a Support request so we can investigate the issue.
We are still in the process of bringing User Cluster #9 back online, and it is unfortunately taking longer than we anticipated. We are making progress, but are still several hours away from this being fixed. To address a few common questions we are seeing:
How many user clusters are there?
There are 13 user clusters in total.
How can I find out what user cluster my account is on?
You can see which user cluster you are on at http://www.livejournal.com/misc/wheream
I am not on cluster 9, but still can't post or edit entries. What's happening?
Trying to update or edit posts may still fail even if you are not on user cluster #9. An Error 500 will appear when loading the update/edit journal page if you have posting access to a community which is located on this cluster. The update module at http://www.livejournal.com/portal/
I'm not getting notifications. Is this related?
Subscription notifications are not currently being sent as a result of this maintenance. You may still receive other types of emails, such as pingbacks and password notification emails, but will not receive notifications of new entries or comments being posted.
What other things aren't working right now?
Twitter digest posts are not currently being imported as a result of this maintenance. Some other pages & features may display errors if they need to access information located on user cluster #9. The inbox and community management pages are both known to be showing errors for people affected by this.
We will post again either when user cluster #9 is back online, or if we have any additional information to post. Thanks again for your patience while we work to fully restore service to the site.
We successfully finished maintenance on cluster #7. All accounts’ owners from this cluster can now log into their journals.
We are working on restoring the user cluster #9, it will take approximately an hour. We will keep you informed. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
To followup on the previous post, the same symptoms for user cluster #7 are also present for users on cluster #9, so we're in the process of fixing it as well. Having 2 clusters to work on rather than 1 unfortunately means that we expect it to take approximately 6-8 hours for everything to be resolved. We do, however, know how the problems with each cluster started and it is not something which will cause any additional clusters to have these issues. We'll post here again either when the issue has been resolved, or if we have any significant developments to update you on.
We're doing some emergency maintenance on one of our databases (user cluster #7, there are 13 user clusters in total. You can see which user cluster your account is on here). The estimated duration of this maintenance is 4-5 hours.
If your account is located on user cluster #7, you will not be able to login to your account until this maintenance has been completed. If you are already logged-in, you will be unable to post, edit, or delete any material on LiveJournal until the maintenance is completed.
If your account is not on this cluster, LiveJournal will still be up, you will be able to login. You may be able to post, edit, and delete content, but if any communities you have posting access to are on cluster #7, you will see an Error 500 when attempting to load the update/edit journal page, or viewing your inbox if any messages have been received from a user on cluster #7. Other pages may also be similarly affected if they attempt to load usernames or data from this cluster. You may also encounter problems viewing journals, entries, comments, or private messages from accounts which are on this cluster.
We're working as quickly as possible to get everything back up & running, and appreciate your patience during this maintenance.

Does anyone have the original photos from Kari Mouke's stories or know where to find them? Her old email address is now defunct though I have spoken to her once a couple of years ago. I think I have all her stories, I'd just like the banners and/or fanart to add to my collection.
Hi!:)
I'm looking for a fic where girl suddenly shows up ( i thing in Magic Box) from the future. She hates Buffy but loves Spike. Later it turns out she is her daughter, and that she hates Buffy because she left her when she was baby (thinking she is evil) and because Spike died protecting her.

I'm searching for a fic that I can't seem to remember the title of. What I remember is Cordy and Angel are acting all lovey dovey when Lorne rushes is in and does a spell that snaps them out of it. They were under a spell to make them seem like they were in love so that hopefully Angel would lose his soul. Then Doyle gets dropped in Buffy's living room. He became a higher power after his death but because he was interfereing with Angel's life they kicked him out. I remember Buffy driving Doyle to LA, but I don't remember what happens next. It's a B/A fic, obviously, with a little C/D on the side. Anyone know what fic I'm talking about?
