"You're selfish and a waste of space/but I'm still in love."

[tanaise]

My new favorite (still in) love song.

I think I've decided what annoys me the most about the late comment notifications isn't the ones I get saying someone commented in my journal, cause really, had I gone back, I would have seen them, and could have continued the conversations. No, what's really annoying is the replies people made to my comments in other people's journals. Cause suddenly my mailbox is full up with mrissa and crowyhead, and others, and I never answered and what if they think I don't love them anymore? Especially Barth who had a lovely comment on openings and hooks and such in my journal and I never saw it until last night, and now I need to think about them again.

Right now, though, gwendabondgirl found a really neat thing on weather and environment in literature. I say really neat, but I'm not sure that's what I mean, cause I keep getting caught in my setting as I write Company Man, because the setting is supposed to be a very important part of the story (being as it's basically Centralia), but it keeps either being the whole point of the story or being completely irrelevant, but I suppose that's not really what the piece is about.

Oh, and a feed summary since I haven't done one in a while and I've been adding feeds for people a lot lately.

I'll gladly add any feeds you want added, just comment or IM me or whatever. (and it's very easy to add journalscape feeds, so they don't even need to know they're being added. Bloggers do need to set something up, but it's pretty easy, and explained in their help file (and I've helped others with it, so I can help there as well. Other places are on their own).) And if anyone can find me a Sylvia feed like the rest of the comics, I'll be so happy.

She nevah cawlls, she nevah writes....

I'm getting the same thing with comment weirdness, and I think everybody is, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've picked up a couple of threads I otherwise had dropped, but not too much.

I've been wondering...

How such things work. I wanted a livejournal feed of my blog, but I couldn't quite figure it out.
