reddragdivaPolyamorous bisexuals, good Lord. I have dates for two and three weeks in the future. What? Anyone want me for this coming weekend, then? You know my email.
(My God I love my life. And a baby daughter. How's yours?)
I am now on a LiveJournal Basic Account. I've been cut back to a random selection of six icons, which appears to be the ones I've used most of late. And the ads on sponsored journals are REALLY FUCKING OBNOXIOUS. The LiveJournal terms of service expressly forbid recommending adblockers (XVI 17), so of course I won't do such a thing.

These include, but are not limited to, making journal style changes, customizations, or overrides that effectively block or substantially impair the display of advertisements on a Plus account's Content or other pages within the Service.
Interesting. My reading is that #17 is mostly about the people with +Plus accounts doing things to block ads at their end.
Of course, I'm only dimly aware that there are ads on some LJs. Hell, these days I'm barely aware there are ads on Google.
