random bullet-point updates

[slumber]

• Livejournal.com has been really iffy with me in the last few days. I know some of you guys have talked about backing your LJs up-- what programs do you use and how do I go about doing that?
  
  
• Speaking of LJ, my paid account expires soon, like December 1 soon. I want to change my layout into something like, black, white, red and floral (like my room), before the account changes back into more limited settings, but I am out of ideas. Grr. Help?
  
  
• Want to know a bit of awesome? You can bake peanut butter cookies with only 3 ingredients. That's right: 1 egg, 1c sugar, and 1c peanut butter is all a girl needs to be happy in this world. (Just mix them all together, put dollops on a cookie sheet, bake on 350-375F for ~10min, and voila!)
  
  
• Live near Chicago/somewhere in the Midwest? Have no plans for the second weekend of December? Come watch Were the World Mine with fellow slashers! Sign up post and details are over here.
  
  
• Thanksgiving dragging you students down? Here's a fairly helpful article on The College Students' Guide to a Happy Thanksgiving. Am going to see if it works. :|

If it's just the comment notifications I wouldn't worry about it. They have about 300 comments telling them to fix it.

I'm afraid my backing-up of the LJ was very low tech. I went to FAQS and followed the link to LJexport. It makes MSExcel files of a month at a time of your LJ. They aren't very pretty, but it gets the job done.

The was a link going around to someone's post who had compiled a bit of info on the subject. I grabbed the link for you, I hope it helps.

Nope, I wish that was the case. But for the last few days LJ has refused to load for me at odd times. It isn't just my connection either, as that's happened while I was at work too. :\

Thanks for the link! I'll look into these later.

Oh, good idea to post about the meet-up. I should do that too, shouldn't I?!?! :-D

I nearly forgot to do that but I was running out of bullet points and I wanted 5, not 4, lol. *facepalm* But yes! Post about it! Let's see who we else we can get from the Midwest, hee. :D
