get me off this crazy thing

Or, nothing lasts forever. And that's usually a good thing, although it might not seem like it.

*waves to new subscribers!*

I'm watching all the shenanigans on tumblr with a somewhat jaundiced eye, as I'm sure all of us who have seen this play out before are. I backed up my tumblr a while back*, though the only thing I really wanted to save were the few meta posts I made, and I think I still have to go through those and save them again because I saw somewhere that the back up doesn't save anything below a "read more" cut. say what.

I never had any real issues with tumblr's format, like others have, so I do kind of hope that some viable version of it continues on. Although with the way that place is run, who knows.

Anyway, I am not inclined to delete anything, seeing as I still have my livejournal. I trust I will stumble along appropriately late to the next fandom party.

I know the goal, the hope, is to one day own the servers, to do the same for fandom social networking that AO3 did for fic archiving. That would be amazing. Otherwise we're just going to be nomadic I guess. It's amusing to me, actually, how fandom carves out these homes in enemy territories for a while, but it doesn't seem to last.

This made me get a fandom twitter. I hate twitter. So, thanks for that, tumblr. My fannish twitter handle is @hafital2.

I am hafital on everything else, including pillowfort. :D follow me! I am sad and don't have any followers on anything lol. *sad pumpkin*



*I used the tumblr back up tool available on the website. It takes a LOOOONNNGGGGGGG time to download. I ended up leaving my computer on all night, and that's how I did it. But then the file is kind of useless imo. I mean, it's all there. ALL OF IT. So, that's cool. Every reblog is saved! So weird. Not sure I needed that, but cool. But, like, it's hard to sort through. Especially if you're like me and *koff* reblog too much. Whatever. I think i'm going to try the upload to wordpress thing and see what that looks like.

Hello beautiful people!

I am alive! Yes, it is true. And doing fairly well. My long silence is not because I have nothing to say, but rather because I have too much to say and no head space and peace in which to say it.

But, I would like to tell you all that I have a tumblr, finally. As per my usual habit, I only join up with these things after everyone else already has so I can be fashionably late to the party. I have the same user name there as here -- hafital.

I like tumblr. Pictures are pretty. I still don't completely understand how it works, though. Right now my dashboard consists of mainly Star Trek pics (heavy on Voyager) and horses, so you can see where my interests lie. If you follow me, that's what you will mostly be seeing. As well as some ballet/dance stuff, Dance Academy pics (the best 1/2 hour Australian teen dance drama in all the world!), and maybe a stray Captain Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann or two. I try not to annoyingly reblog too much but I don't really know what I'm doing with tumblr, so bear with me.

I've also recently become weirdly obsessed with this ABC Family show (now canceled and off the air) called Make It Or Break It, a teen drama about gymnastics. It's ridiculous. I can't honestly recommend it, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it at the same time. It doesn't hurt that the head coach is tres cute. And I think there's even a slash pairing with him and the rival coach from Denver. LOL.

With dance and gymnastics covered (Dance Academy and Make it or Break it, respectively), now I just need a teen drama set in the hunter/jumper world and I would be SET.
