If in doubt, get another dictionary

Is there a dictionary/FAQ of LJ jargon, or more generally bloggers' jargon, online somewhere?

Apart from the fact that such a thing would be handy to have at times, I am at this particular moment wondering about the origin of the expression "pastede on yay", even if I think I understood the meaning.

In the circus, bears are expected to dance, and do it well

Which is to say, what's weird for other places is quite normal here.

So today nazgul_nr_5 came to have her picture taken in the complete Quidditch outfit she made herself. Many times, and in great detail.

Not out of any pointy vanity or something, merely for business reasons.

It's quite a warm day today, but for the sake of Authentic Quidditch, the Nazgul put on, in this order:

• a hand-knitted Quidditch sweater


• a pair of shin pads made out of padded naugahyde


• a pair of knee pads, ditto


• a huge Quidditch robe


• a pair of warm black gloves (!!)


• the left arm pad


• the right arm pad, with which she needed my help at exactly one buckle

Then we went out into the second back courtyard, in the sun, and I took many pictures with her digital camera. In the middle of proceedings, she had to change batteries, but after trying to open the battery compartment with her gloved fingers for a while, she let me do it. She couldn't take off the gloves, you see, because she would have had to take off the arm pads as well.

While we were doing that, the Bulgarian woman the Metropolintans pay to clean all the staircases went back and forth about her business and smiled at us in a totally matter-of-fact way. She must have seen much odder things in our courtyards before, I guess.

photobucket.com - Are they crazy or have they just lost their minds?

Has anybody ever heard of photobucket.com deleting a whole album because of one pr0nny drawing?

Because I fear that's what they have done with mine. Without any warning, announcement, anything - poof! 404 file not found is all I get.

Unless they are moving servers. Without any warning or announcement, either.

I just hope it's there again tomorrow morning. Cause otherwise I'll get friggin' livid: I would have to re-upload and re-link several dozen pictures that I need in my posts!!

ETA It lives! It lives again! It is alive! All my pictures are belong to ME still! schiarire was right, and I was too paranoid for my own good - again.

I am very relieved and celebrate by posting a few rather abstract icons that I did recently from recycled backgrounds of "Gormenghast" screen caps/TJ icons and RPG related text (not meant to be read, just meant to look artsy):





Hurrah for The Return Of The Photobucket!
