Oh Marie...and half of a DW rant

sherryillkOh, I do love Marie biscuits. I can't quite stop eating them... They're typically not what I look for in a cookie -- I like mine generally chewy and soft and Marie biscuits are more hard and crunchy. But there is a coying sweetness to it that appeals to me. And is it just me or is there a slightly orange-y aftertaste to them? No matter, I love them. My grandmother likes to dip them in milk but I just like them plain. Although, I have to wonder if Nutella would be good with it? Or that little sandwich people make with them with the butter, chocolate and instant coffee... I've got to admit, it does look rather intriguing...
In other news, I'm setting up my DW account because everyone else is and I'm feeling threatened. Very, very threatened. Hence, the DW account. After messing around with it, I've got to say, my feelings are still highly resentful. And slightly pissed off, both at DW and at myself. And mostly on all those DW-philes who go around waxing poetry about the site with twinkling eyes. Okay, I don't know about the last part, but it's pretty implied by the tone of their posts and it's been building up for a while now. I won't be giving any of my money to this site but at least I have an account just in case fandom decides to leave LJ in a huff.
As for me, I'm staying here as I like it here. And I like LJ in spite of any recent or not so recent LJ troubles. I've never defined LJ to be where fandom hangs out but rather the place where I keep my electronic journal so even if fandom leaves, I'm staying put. I was here before fandom and I'll be here even if fandom leaves. If I were ever going to give money to a blog website for more features, it sure as hell would be LJ before some new upstart place that I'm feeling highly negative towards. I hate contradictions and this place is making me experience many annoyingly contradictory emotions. Hopefully those feelings would dissipate as time goes on.
Still, I'm hoping DW will fail, fail, fail so I won't have to deal with it any more than necessary so it's more of a let's hope DW slinks off to the dark night and all those who goes with it are people I don't care about anyway. It's such a hassle having to deal with this sort of stuff all over again and personally, I have no interest in it. And I suspect I'll just end up feeling more hostile towards if I'm forced to do it by fandom so I'm desperately hoping it won't come to that and it'll just be another IJ thing. Even though people from my flist did leave for IJ, for the most part, I don't check up on them all that often. So unless everyone leaves LJ for DW, I suspect it'll be another one of those instances....
*sigh* I'm going back to trying to add everybody from my LJ flist to my DW one... :\ Why isn't there a "Select all" box? In the mean time, Marie biscuits to buoy up my spirits!
edit x1: Hmm...finding everyone on DW is proving exceeding difficult... I've been going through my flist, but have only netted a few names... I wonder if that's because only a few people have went over or if only a few people have made posts saying so? I am still sherryillk no matter where I go so if anyone wants to add me, they can do so under that name.
