Gently Pushes Open The LJ Door... Hellllooo? Anybody Home???

[teddy_radiator]

If this goes through, I'll jump for joy. If not... *sigh*

Thank you, everyone, for the bodacious Birthday wishes. It has been the epitome of frustration that I have not had the facility to thank you...

I have tried a dozen times to acknowledge the few cool things that snuck under the wire...

Are we back on the air???

Oh! I thought it was just me and this crappy vacation house wifi. Cool. Only not. If you see what I mean.

No, I haven't been able to consistently post anything since Tuesday. I have tried to respond to a couple of your posts with mixed success. I'm going to fly through all my responses and let everyone know I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just another LJ victim.

I find that I can get onto lj early in the morning (EST) and again late at night (EST). Any other time during the day seems to be full of woe on my part.

Hopefully they're finally getting a handle on the trolls attacking.

I'm sure there's a very frustrating ss/hg fic in there about having internet access denied to their favourite websites... :D

I was just thinking how hideous that tomorrow's the exchange fic deadline and how many people were breathing a sigh of relief that they could have a guilt-free deadline extension lol

I'm just thrilled to actually be able to respond. This is the first time I've actually gotten to say anything to anyone in three days.

I am here and Happy Belated B-day since LJ wouldn't let me say it earlier. {{hugs}}

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, sweetie! I am just blown away with the amount of birthday love I've received from LJ and was unable to respond to most of it. Very frustrating. I'll be days trying to track down them all and respond to them, but they were all appreciated and welcomed with love.

[irishredlass.livejournal.com]

And isn't it nice to get a pop up right away that someone has read your post!

I cannot believe how I miss LJ when it is down!

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

I've been embarassingly bereft. Fortunately, I've spent the last three days recording for the smokingbaby podfics, but if I hadn't had that I'd have gone crazy - I didn't realise how much time I spend playing and having fun here until I couldn't get through the door!

[irishredlass.livejournal.com]

I know me too!

I have found that late at night I am able to get on. Today actually wasn't that bad. I may have had to refresh the page once, or twice, or twelve times, but it eventually worked.

I was about to have a conniption earlier when I tried to post icons for a contest and it didn't post. Luckily, when I tried the back button, it was still there. I say, if I had to type all the HTML codes and links again, they were not going to be getting my participation in this round.

It has been so frustrating trying to respond. I found I could make an entry, just not respond to anything. I'm typing like mad while the fix still works!

[morethansirius.livejournal.com]

I'm a little posting maniac! The quiz is up. My crack_broom recs are up. I've commented on numerous posts. If it all craps out again, at least I'll have caught up for a bit!

Oh, and Happy Belated Birthday, my dear! I'm soooo far behind on birthdays I might as well give up. Where does the time go?!

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I'm probably going to make LJ fall over again with all the postings I'm trying to do!

Thank you for the birthday wishes - I've just loved seeing them all - the outpouring of love and support have been out of this world!

[droxy.livejournal.com]

FUCK!!!!!! Happy birthday. I think I missed it. shit.

Hugs.

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie - I'm just jazzed about all the lurve I'm receiving here.

[mimimanderly.livejournal.com]

It not only seems to be working now, but at lightning-fast speed! I hope that this fix takes, 'cause I missed all my friends here!

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

I hope so, but not being able to post onto your gallery sux.

[mimimanderly.livejournal.com]

I submitted a support request. I know they're inundated, but I didn't want to ASSUME that they knew about this particular problem.

[condwiramurs.livejournal.com]

*crosses fingers that this posts*

LJ has been evil to me lately, so I wasn't able to wish you happy birthday at the proper moment, but maybe now it will work....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it was a grand celebration. :)

*hugs*

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Thank you sooo much! I've been thrilled to bits with all of the wonderful birthday wishes - my LJ family is the best. It was a lovely day, and I wished you all could have been there to celebrate with me.

[stormymaries.livejournal.com]

WOOT!! WE HAVE CONNECTION!!!!

Oh and Happy Birthday!!! *I am new to these parts I didn't know =(*

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! This LJ community just outdid itself with birthday love - I have never had so many well-wishes. It's been lovely!

[rivertempest.livejournal.com]

OMG, is this thing working now? Whoa.

I sent you an e-card for you birthday, but not sure you got it? LJ may have gobbled it up? But I sent it to hotmail. Grr argh!

Regardless, HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

I'll check in my messages. It's been a strange couple of days in LJ world, but no matter - thank you for the birthday wishes.

And congrats on Yea, Tho I Walk...a masterwork of prompting. Now I know why you were so tickled!

Being the voice slut I am, I did send her a request for a one-shot, called What Hermione Heard On The Taperecorder - highlighting the day she snuck a recorder beneath her pillow while they made love - Aurette said she normally didn't do sequels, but gave me permission to write one.

[rivertempest.livejournal.com]

Yes, I haven't been able to get to LJ since almost Monday! And I need to do some work on my communities! ARGH! Frustration, thy name is LJ. Yes, I sent the card to your hotmail account - maybe check your Spam filter. If you didn't get it, let me know and I'll resend it. :D

OMG, wasn't it the best? I love Aurette.

Mwhaha, I saw your request. When I do the podfic, I will be sitting outside (with the birds and such) recording Severus' speech at the end on a tape recorder and then playing it back for the podfic, so it will really be Severus speaking into the recorder. LMAO, Karelia said I sounded like the female version of Alan Rickman (that's good, right?) so hopefully he won't sound too girly.

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

That will be so cool!!! I love the line about, "Oh great, now they think I'm a paedo." Aurette has the ability to make you laugh and cry almost at the same time. What a writer.
