I used to be in love with this person. I want  to say that I still love them, still care about them.

But lately, I think I've just been a "potential vagina".

All this time, we've been close friends.

Of course I never put out, I'm with someone else!

They started dating someone whom I can only assume does.

And I never heard from them again.

I need to hold a doll meet. Or a sleepover. Or both.

I need -friends-.

I hear a lot of you guys bitch when noone's available to hang out on a certain day.

How would you like it if there wasn't anyone around TO be available in the first place? All your friends
are an hour or more away? How would you like it to not be allowed to have a job? To sit in a house all day by yourself
and never GO ANYWHERE. Never have friends come visit, because you have no friends near you in the real world?

It's ridiculous because I'm right back to being in Rabun County. Lonely? Drive 30 minutes to the Walmart, maybe you'll see someone you know.

Seriously, guys. Seriously.

The empire strikes back

In recent weeks, we've taken huge steps towards blocking spam accounts on LiveJournal. In fact, we've suspended as many as 30,000 accounts in a single day! We've implemented several pre-emptive measures to prevent the creation of spam accounts, and we've honed our detection of suspicious content. Spam bots are a crafty lot, so we'll continue to refine our tactics and keep up the good fight to keep you safe from spam attacks on LiveJournal.

RSS feeds again

If you're addicted to xkcd_rss, icanhaschzbrgr, or other syndicated feeds, we're pleased to report that we've resolved the update error that was mucking up your RSS feeds. While content was being pulled correctly, it wasn't being posted to the feeds themselves. Late last week, we finally nailed down what we hope was the root problem, so content should post properly. We thank you for your patience.

I've been to two cons so far selling kanzashi, and it's been...okay. They're a very difficult item to sell because con kids can't justify the cost. I can't seem to sell anything online, but that's because the online list of kanzashi makers is long and saturated. In short, pickings are slim in the ways of profits.

For the past couple of months, I've had a person asking me all sorts of questions about how to make them. Being the nice person I am, I've answered all her questions and given her plenty of advice over this span of time.

However.

NOW she has many, many uploaded deviations of kanzashi that are BLATANT rips of mine. I mean EXACT copies of my designs, not one thing different. And she plans on selling at cons soon where I, too, may be selling.

I'm not like most hobbyists who sell - most of them have day jobs and do this on the side. I CAN'T have a job, so this is my sole way to get by. If I don't make any money at a con, I'm in big trouble. It's hard enough as it is, and now she's abused my advice, ripped off my designs, and plans to take what little I have in sales away.

Do I have a right to be slightly miffed?! Or am I being a selfish little twat? It just... I feel like I've been spit on, so to speak. I helped her, and now she's using that against me. It makes me not ever want to give people pointers on it again.

I'm just down.
