During the Great Live Journal Outage of 2005, I:

Really didn't notice it much.

I'm trying to figure out why this fact makes me feel like I should apologize to you all.

There are memes and icons and -- yeah. I'm just saying. LJ went away for what? One day, two?

In other news, an actual conversation from today, in short:

"I worked hard to get this shirt clean!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. I woke up on the weekend and it was covered in blood."
"..."
"Blood's hard to get out."
"Are you okay?"
"I think so. I couldn't find anything missing."
"You think so?"
"I was a bit drunk. It's possible I don't remember what happened."
"All your friends accounted for?"
"Most of them. I think."
"You know, this might be something you want to avoid in the future..."

Yeah, but did they bother to have it typed??

Nah. I just happen to find my friends amusing and thought I'd share.

(Of course, it's only to be expected that I find my friends amusing. Perhaps others do not.)

The tempest in a teapot reaction to the Great LJ Outage is why all the sarcastic memes and icons, I reckon.

For me it was more of a general, whoah, would I be sad if it were the Internet as a whole that was down.

I found it rather amusing, myself. "OMG!!1! LJ is gone!"

Then again, I often go a day or two (or three, or...) without checking my flist, so perhaps I have no right to talk.
