Wow wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we didn't have to earn our keep or pay for services we enjoy?

I don't understand why everyone is so up in arms that LJ will no longer offer free accounts for new users. First of all, paid accounts are not exactly expensive and secondly these people who are so upset have journals all ready so it's not going to affect them. I have a paid account, it costs me like $20.00 a year. It gets me some extra user pics and I never have to look at ads on any of my pages. I didn't renew right away last time my account expired and I tried a plus account, but I am so spoiled the ads drove me crazy. I think that to be realistic one would have to know that the bigger a community of users gets, the more overhead it is going to generate. I think that generating money needed through ad revenue is better than hoisting up the annual costs to paid users just so people that want to maintain free account won't have to view ads. Especially since it will be only new journals that are affected. From what I understand LJ is not going to suddenly impose ads on current basic users.

Needless to say I will not be participating in a boycott on Friday.

That's just my two cents - I give it freely.

But I still enjoy this video, LOL.

You Are a Mermaid

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.
