Well, LiveJournal’s been down for, oh, must be a half hour at least now. I’m thinking about ending it all. Oh, the humanity, why hast god forsaken me? Help. ---

I feel your pain. What am I supposed to do without my hourly fix? Read the paper? Puh leeze! It’s been up and down for a while. Last I checked they had a two day old back up working. ---

I’m glad to see I’m not losing my mind. I’ve been trying to get in there all morning. It just let me in and my page design is all funky. And I’m missing entries from the last few days. I plan to OD on something and hold them responsible. ---

Sorry about that - it’s beyond LiveJournal’s control. We continue to advise you to just enjoy a nice mug of tea or other beverage and come back to LJ in an hour. Hitting refresh every thirty seconds will just stress you out and make your arm ache. AAARRRGGHHHH!!! ---

:::breaks down into big gulping sobs::: I start my journal just a few days ago, and _everything_ is gone! Gone, I tell you! I’m going to drown my sorrows in sweet, sweet booze. ---

Finally managed to break through a few minutes ago. I was pleased to see that my most recent entry was there. But I logged in again to see my friends list and it was acting all grouchy again and wouldn’t let me. ---
