Small victories and a significant loss

Am I allowed to lose hope now that Brad's gone? O wait, I said I wouldn't be talking about that, uh IGNORE THIS I guess? Have backed up my journal on LJ Book as of yesterday, and can only hope that someone is able or willing to back up CFUD. I'd be tempted to do it myself, but I think it requires money and I'm still without PayPal. And a password, which I am not one of the privileged few to know. I'll probably be starting to look into alternate journaling sites for the next few days, on the occasions that I can get on. (This reminds me, I need to go and back up all those fics I didn't write in my journal. There's several in comments that I've made, and a bunch in HoS that I haven't got anywhere else, so. I at least want to keep Echoes.) Also, since Permanent is Forever, is it possible to get any amount of money refunded on my purchase of one such account as of two years ago, or would I just be deluding myself?

MOVING RIGHT ALONG, got something in the range of 800/900 badges printed with Pat today. Having to stop and pick up more ink in the middle was... less than helpful, but we're still done with Adult and Non-Drinking badges for Pre-Reggers. We'll get to Minors and Dealers Room/Guests/Etc badges tomorrow. I only feel slightly bad about putting Lupin!Buu-chan on the Dealers' badges, and that's because Artists Alley people have to share with them, but the funny still mostly outweighs the guilt. Continuing badge printage tomorrow, which is okay since I'm making Pat watch Avatar while we work :3b Slowly I am getting her interested in it, slowly slowly, and then will come episode thirteen and she will be trapped! Trapped like the rest of us! Bwahahahahahahaha....

Lyzz, have been reading, and my cheeks hurt from laughing so much within a fortnight of surgery. Still have gaps, ow ow ow.

Anyone on my f'list planning to go to Anime Iowa that I don't know about yet? (I should probably try to contact Candy directly, since I don't know how much internet access she'll be having...)

And... I am tired now, so will shut up.

Edit: I'm still tired and now really frustrated for some reason. I don't suppose someone out there would be willing to see their way to making my world a prettier place just about now? Yeah, I thought not.

Edit 2: ( In which my brain attempts to be helpful )

Edit 3: There are posts relevant to my interests (locked) at daily_yuri?! o_o I'd call that pretty, I think (though 'more' is always good). Someone plz to translate mebbe?
