LJ Downtime!

[SafetyGirl]

I've started using memories. I think I have all of Hide's done but Misao will take me forever. It's a nice thing to be able to flip back quickly.

Not all of us print out our posts *stares at a certain someone*, after all.

Oh memories is -awesome-. ::grin::
I'm using it for my icon journal! You can have each entry under up to five categories, if my memory serves me right.

[angrybee]

Who prints out their entries?

I've been using memories from the start. It's not too hard. (Though I'm missing one of Soujirou's right now, and I think one of Tokio's.) Then again, I don't have all that many threads to mark yet... Unlike other people with more time on their hands to RP.

Like that person who prints out all of her threads. *cough*

...just yet.

One reason (not the sole one) being that the US is over-exposed in the media (print, broadcast, etc). We'd prefer to go to places that get a bad rap, just to experience things for ourselves.

For example, we find the Middle East to be far more civilised than the international media makes it out to be. Granted, there ae hotspots ... but exceptions do not make the rule (naturally...).

Very true.

Umm. I don't print out all of them, just the ones that I need to occbehindionally reference. (I have two binders. One for Ayu and Shinsaku's past - which is recycling material I used before. And the other is stuff Megumi needs to remember as well as maps and things that I know I don't want to go back and hunt for later.)

What have I been doing? I have been away most of the weekend... I intended though to sleep and try to work on my new webpages and also trying to get in time to do art.

I made one pathetic attempt to write more fanfic, but I gave up.

Oh, and I drank lots of tea.

Memories are a good idea... Although I'm having trouble organizing. LOL since Saitou seems to move around too much. *sigh* Oh well at least there's hope for Yahiko.

Any suggestions about how to organize would be appreciated. ;D

I used memories on a different board partly because one of my characters was constantly collecting information which he needed to cite later on. However, that isn't necessarily the 'right' way to play it.

But the thing I didn't like about memories was that people could see what I was earmarking. :-). So then I developed a separate bookmark folder on my computer for each character with links to pages that I wanted to have readily available for later.

What I ended up doing more recently is printing things out for myself. I like this better because I can take the binder with me when I travel home and think about posts even when away from a computer. There were a few occbehindions when I drafted my posts on an unnetworked computer or on paper and then posted it when I got to a computer.

This also is extremely helpful when LJ goes down :-).

Isn't there an option to keep your memories private?
