That's great, it starts with an earthquake

Truly, the end times are near and the right-of-reply is coming back to bite me on the bum.

The mother has got herself a LiveJournal.

Those of you who know her, I'm sure she'd like it if you popped along and said hello. For everyone else, don't be surprised if someone called exspelunca is found making serious attempts to keep me in order.

I live in terror of my mother getting a Facebook account. There's just so much I don't want her to know.

PS You listen to Blyth Power? I always knew you were a right-thinking woman :)

[venta.livejournal.com]

If there were stuff I didn't want my mother to know, I wouldn't post it on the internet ;)

And Blyth Power ? Of course, they're great.

[lanfykins.livejournal.com]

That would be sensible, can't be having that :)

My mother-in-law has a Facebook account, but after seeing a couple of pictures of one of her nieces in a rather inebriated state she has sworn off looking at any of the photo galleries.

If only FB had as fine grained filter control as LJ...

Hopefully my parents don't know about LiveJournal.

I've already denied having a Facebook account to them (and I've set my profile to be completely hidden and unsearchable on there, anyway...)

My mum has been callmemadam for some time, and my dad was cybersofa. It is still a bit disconcerting.

[venta.livejournal.com]

Cor, callmemadam posts things with embedded YouTube clips in them and everything - clearly an advanced LJ user!

(Actually, I was quite enjoying her writings about books... but friending someone's mother does feel like a cyberstalker step too far!)

There are a couple of instances in which I'm Friends with two generations of the same family. It does feel odd.

Good to see she's getting down with the kids! I shall certainly say hello, although she might not remember me.

[venta.livejournal.com]

I don't like to break it to you: we ain't the kids any more :(

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

You still are on the internet... at least until Bea gets an LJ.

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

smallclanger and his peer group have had LJs for ~6 years ... he's 6 years old. And (now) he writes his own entries. :)

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

Safely locked, I note! :-)

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

Yeah... there used to be some public entries when LJ was a lot smaller, and he really only picked up one or two odd followers along the way, but now he writes his own stuff, and is old enough to know he was written about, it's really only fair, I think!

we ain't the kids

[undyingking.livejournal.com]

So dance dance dance to the radio tonight?

Re: we ain't the kids

[venta.livejournal.com]

OK, you clearly are still down with the kids :)

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

thalinoviel's dad is on LJ, and I keep encountering him on other people's f-lists, too.

*waves hello at your Mother*

Not only does robimayd have an LJ, he has one he writes on behalf of sharkythecat :-)

[venta.livejournal.com]

... and thanks to your comment arriving in plain text in my email inbox, I now know how to change the text after the user icon in LJ-user links :)

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've always just done that my copying the HTML string LJ uses via "View Source". Is there an easier way?

[venta.livejournal.com]

I think so. For example, pm215's comment included:

<lj user="robimayd" title="my father">

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

Aha! Neat trick, bateleur. Should save a lot of tedium!

[pm215]

It's all in the manual, you know :-)

[marjory.livejournal.com]

Duly stalked!

I also meant to say happy birthday, so... Happy Birthday!

(belatedly)
