It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)

[slumber]

As stated by Eweek.com on January 5th, 2005, Livejournal.com will be merging with SixApart.

And at the point, all users are unsure of what will be lost and gained through this merger. Will we lose icons? Communities? Making journals for free? What will happen to the rating communities, and the RP Journals that members create? Will we lose the PostByPhone service?

But, more importantly, will we just lose the little things? The silly April Fools Day jokes, or the News Updates? Will SixApart even care about it's users like those in charge now do?

Will we lose some of our livejournal friends?

This is not a protest, just a hope. A little faith. We want to keep what we signed up for -- what even some pay for -- the services, the communities, the icons -- everything. We're not sure if this merge will make Livejournal less of a community then it is, or if it will stay the same as it always has been for the past five years -- but nonetheless, we only want what we've had for the past five years:

Livejournal

Is it so wrong to wish for the end of the world RIGHT NOW?

I mean, we've already got the signs, haven't we? Snow in Texas and Saudi Arabia, tilting of the earth's axis, the whole calamity with the tsunami, we've got a deadly disease which I THINK is beginning to spread around here in my country, the Red Sox winning after a really long, dry period (I mean, I always root for the underdogs, but dude. Ominous.), finding a cute boy in university (o.O MY GOD THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH UPON US) etcetera, etcetera.

So, I've decided, if the world is EVER to end, it should be right now. This instant. Please. An Accounting quiz first thing in the morning, a report we're REALLY cramming right after it, a three-hour break and THEN a quiz I'm almost definitely failing (his quizzes are AWFUL. Hardly anybody ever passes. :\), on top of LJ being sold to Six Apart (OMG DOES THIS MEAN ADS? BOOOOO!!!), a still-general feeling of crumminess, and then, other issues. *is absolutely useless at debate and is always second best to people*

Yes. I'm bitter.

(Next time I'm posting intelligent HP discussion, I promise. Let's hope RL doesn't interfere and make me write something else.)

Hopefully they won't change much, if anything; I foresee mass protests if they do.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

And mass migration to GJ. :P

[fallenravie.livejournal.com]

I doubt much will change. With so many users, massive changes won't go over well. Plus SixApart bought LJ because they think it's nice and shiny.

Also, the Red Sox winning = the end of the world is the funniest thing I've heard all week. *giggles at you* No being bitter, darling. It doesn't suit you.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I hope so. *crosses fingers*

*giggles* Well, it IS ominous. ;) Ahahaha, I'll try not to be. :P <333

finding a cute boy in university

Er, do cute boys not usually exist at your University? Must be harsh. *shakes head*

:)

[slumber.livejournal.com]

YES. It's part of why I'm bitter, really. >P

[illuminations.livejournal.com]

Well, my high school isn't much better. But I'm pretty sure I shall have enough pretty boys to fawn over at uni.

OHHH, PRETTY BOYS.

Shall ship some over to you. <333

[jaig.livejournal.com]

That's a scary load of bitterness. *smishes* You shall be fine, and yes the world shall end! After tea.

It will be FINE. <3

[slumber.livejournal.com]

After tea. Or else I will die. (Which, quite pointless, as we will all be dead by then anyway.)

I know. :P <3 (But I want it to be fine NOW.)

[jaig.livejournal.com]

Tea!<3

[double-the-ace.livejournal.com]

Someone agrees with me! OMG, I've been trying to convince people that it's the end of the world, and no-one will believe me! It's not so bad, I just want to survive a little longer.

And I really hope LJ stays the same.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. Although it would be pretty cool. :P

Me too. *clings to LJ*

I'm secretly wishing the new LJ will suck ass and everyone on my flist will switch over to GreatestJournal cuz it's seriously IDENTICAL they even use the same lj-cut and lj user tags, and you get 1000 freeeeee icons and they can be bigger.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Hey! But GJ doesn't have funky layouts like Component. *pouts*

[abilizersparkle.livejournal.com]

*pouts too* but dude, 1000 free icons! Think about it! and btw, I really really really really love your new layout.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Yes, the 1000 is pretty nice. :P And hee, thanks! :P

[gifted-dream.livejournal.com]

Ahh, now you've got me paranoid!

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Oops? Sorry. Hee.
