OK, two more things.

[triedunture]

1. New, non-gooftastic looking header by favoritedarknes! It's shiny. It's Stephen-y. It's super-duper. Also, much more upbeat. And we need more upbeatings around here.

2. The craziest part of The Great Hackz0red Saga of 2008: when I regained control of my account, I found a message from savemoony in my LJ inbox (along with lots of other lovely messages from y'all asking WTF had happened to my journal). Earlier this year, savemoony and I were mods at wga_supporters during the writer's strike. It's inactive now, of course. She had been notified that I'd deleted her as a mod from the comm and, rightly so, wondered why I would do such a thing. Obviously I hadn't; my hacked journal had. I told her what had happened and reinstated her. Laughs were shared. Freaky bots, we assumed. All is well nao!

EXCEPT the next day, we were BOTH stripped of our mod powers by a third party, someone we didn't know, who shouldn't have had moddish access to the comm. Turns out THAT account, as well as another that posted weird Russian (.ru) links to the comm afterward, were also hacked. And to top off the big bowl of confusing, the comm's entries were then deleted, just like my journal had been.

The Abuse Team has deleted the compromised accounts, which appear to have been inactive anyway. Why a hacker or a bot would want control over a defunct comm is beyond me. And the weird thing is, that's not the only defunct comm I was a mod for, but it's the only one that was hacked. GAH! I guess I'm trying to say, stay safe out there in the LJ world. Backup all your stuff. You never know what might get hit.

*SIGH*

I'm going to do some aerobic exercises, then eat food, then watch House, then--

OH that reminds me. Here's another thingy:

I discuss the pertinent issues in my new comic.

It's full of lulz.

Your header is awesome!

I hope this is the last you have to deal with the phantom Russian hacker.

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it, but holy, is your comic funny. I loves it. :D

[cerublu02.livejournal.com]

favoritedarknes is awesome! Loved your (gritty) NY header but this one just makes me smile! Stephen!

Hope you don't have any other issues with your hacker-dude.

LOL at your comic! How...frustrating.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay on the banner!

WTF on the hacker. Bleargh.

Heh, true (and funny) on the comic. (I like. Visually, some of the minimalist style of "Get Your War On"; verbally, in a class of its own. ;) )

OMG YES, 1,000 TIMES YES. I hate it when anyone talks in porn, because it totally ruins the mood and sounds so fake and stilted, and that just reminds me that these people are only performing for my entertainment, which completely spoils it all. It's like a cell phone going off in a movie theater, but 69x worse. D:< One of the things I like most is when I get the sense that the people on screen are really enjoying themselves and actually into each other, even if only on a lust level, and that's completely ruined by some cameraman going "Hey, move her ass over farther this way... that's better. That's really hot" or someone fake-moaning "Oh baby that feels so good fill me fill me" or something lame like that that nobody ever actually says in real life. *grumblemutter* MY PORN HANGUPS, LET ME SHOW YOU THEM.

Also, wtf is up with how guys write lesbian porn films, anyway? Have they never actually seen real women have sex or something? Why can't more women write porn movies?

Also also ALSO, HAVE YOU SEEN HOUSE YET? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T (2 1/2 HOURS TO GO) AND I WANT REASSURANCE. (Why am I shouting?) No spoilers, but reassurance would be nice. *hopeful smile*

Re: Your comic

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY RE: PR0N.

And yes, I have seen House. What do you want reassurance about?? I cannot gives it if I do not knooooow.

Re: Your comic

[pinglederry.livejournal.com]

Hah, caught you online again. Booyeah. :) I love it when the girls smile dreamily after everything's over and they mean it (because if they were that talented at acting, they'd be in Hollywood), or laugh in a happily disbelieving way, e.g., 'I can't believe that was just that awesome' or something. Orgasms ftw.

ANYWHO, IDK. IS IT GOOD? IS IT AWESOME? DOES IT AT LEAST NOT SUCK TOO TERRIBLY? *bounces*

ETA: I dare you to try and figure out my movie titles in this meme from ignazwisdom, because I bet you'd rock at her game.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

I LIKED IT. :D

[pinglederry.livejournal.com]

YAY! *bounces* *dashes off to wait impatiently in front of the teevee for 8 o'clock to happen*

Re: Your comic

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Hee, that's a fun quiz you linked to.

Re: Your comic

[pinglederry.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? :D It's really entertaining. Did you play at all?

Re: Your comic

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

I did, but nobody seems to've answered, oh well.

Your comic is awesome and the banner is incredible!

[benjimmy.livejournal.com]

OMG the header is made of awesomesauce! Stephen is... well, you know. All adjectives that mean something positive. Adverbs too.

Porn has talking? Heh, I always watch it on mute so I don't have to deal with that. The panting and moaning distracts me from, uh, yeah... I feel embarrassed for the actors (if you can call them that).

Damn you woman! I really must stop reading your journal at work as it's so distracting! When thre aren't new fics (of fic chapters) to read, you go and post THAT header! Goodbye work, hello staring longingly at Stephen! :D *sigh* x

[cadeira.livejournal.com]

When I saw in my flist that you abandoned your banner, I found it kind of sad and went to your journal only to find this.... It´s lovely to the power of awesome.

[baby-rat.livejournal.com]

I LOVE the new header and icon. Very Stephen-y.
