Arrived at my parents' house today. The weather was bad. But I'm here safe and sound with mexwerewolf.

Holiday debuggery

We know there were a few kinks with the holiday promotion. We've been working very hard to get them ironed out. If you have a paid/permanent account, keep on sending those coupons. Here's an update:

• If you were unable to send out multiple coupons at a time, please perform a hard refresh, and you should be good to go.
• If you redeemed a coupon to upgrade your account and the balance at checkout was $0 instead of $9.95 or $15, this means your upgrade did not go through (nor were you charged). We've straightened this out, so you can now apply your holiday coupon toward the purchase of an annual paid account.
• If you tried to redeem a holiday coupon and had trouble using a gift certificate to cover the balance of an annual paid account, we identified the root problem. If this happened to you, you can now use your holiday coupon together with your gift certificate.
• If the number of holiday coupons you have available suddenly goes up (instead of down), this might be due to recipients declining the coupons, at which point your pool of available coupons will be replenished and, therefore, increase.
• If you need assistance with holiday coupons or pretty much anything else (well, LiveJournal related), please open a support request and we'll be more than happy to help!

Tweaks

• There were some initial glitches displaying results on My Guests, but we've worked them out. We hope you'll check out who's been checking you out!
• Some of you reported formatting issues using the Rich Text Editor (i.e., line breaks were being removed incorrectly). We've implemented a fix! Thanks so much for your patience.

Give a little extra!

We're pleased to report that we've already sold over 100 virtual red ribbons in honor of National AIDS Awareness month. Remember, for each charitable vgift you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to fund the development of an HIV vaccine. Once again, we thank you for your generosity.

Celebrate with holiday vGifts!

Stop by the Virtual Gift Shop and share some holiday magic with your LiveJournal friends.

Thank you lupinesilvertai for sharing this with us!

I'm a 23 yr old anthro/furry artist from ny who has been a furry AND PROUD OF IT for a really long time. I joined furaffinity a long time ago but forget my password and the email died so I can't go on, which is a crap situation.  ): My furson who is the real me under all thise human skin is called Xenguin she is a beautiful snow lynx/tabby hybrid and shes the one I am when things start looking down, cuz I used to be online but then my dad died and my life was really shitty and my boyfriend dumped me for no reason and it was the worst time in my life. I quit everything and was really depressed but things are finally looking up because someone i know said a while ago that 2009 was the year for ppl born on January 23 (she saw it in a book or something lol) and I thought that since it was a good year I would go online again and try to get back into the furry scene and start putting up my awesome art because I love that you guys will understand me.

Yeah. :)

Found this on Amazon.com accidentally, apparently Being Human has some novels coming out?

...goes jointly to Mark Sanford and Tiger Woods because I haven't given either of them one yet because I've been asleep at the wheel here, and I apologize for that. For those of you who hadn't heard about either, the tl;dr:

South Carolina governor Mark Sanford went missing in 2009, and later admitted to have flown to Argentina multiple times to see a mistress, cheating on his wife, with public funds. Sanford resigned as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer to ever have lived, admitted to cheating on his wife with what has discovered to be more than a dozen waitresses, escorts, and other women, and has taken an indefinite leave from golf (while his wife, Elin, has taken an indefinite leave from him.)

This brings the number of various people and/or organizations that have received Not Cool awards or Really F***ed Up awards in 2009 to twenty-three. Feel free to review them all at http://bucktowntiger.livejournal.com/tag/not+cool for we will be voting on which is the Most Not Cool of 2009 starting on Tuesday.

------------

Also, there were nine Not Cool awards given in 2009, but there will not be a poll for what was 2009's Most Not Cool. That award goes to U.S. Airways pilot Chelsey B. "Sully" Sullenberger, who saved 155 passengers and crew by making a spectacular emergency landing in the Hudson River. Congratulations, Sully!

So far I'm having a wonderful time in Madison with my old friends. We've been hanging out and playing games, and tonight we're seeing Avatar. :) YAY SOCIAL INTERACTION!!!!!!!

Friday night's episodes of Dollhouse were actually pretty good. In fact, the last 4 or 5 episodes have been decent. Giving Victor (Enver Gjokaj) and Sierra (Dichen Lachman) more screen time was a good move, as was throwing in some plot and direction (two elements that seemed to be lacking throughout most of first season). I'd typically be upset about a show being cancelled the moment it starts getting good, but Whedon had plenty of time to get the show together and kick it up a notch. Plus, it's essentially just a rip-off of La Femme Nikita, which I'd (re)watch over Dollhouse any day.

I decided to join Dragonadopters.com. Why? Because it's cute that's why >:|




Here's my first dragon egg, which I must care for. Go visit it, it makes it feel better.

'It' sounds a little impersonal, so I shall name the egg Steve for now.
Go visit Steve the egg.
