We'll see

Actually, does anyone have a burning desire to run in to Theo on Christmas? Rob? Jacqui? Liss?

Just in case.

i might edit this so it's the very last of the christmas posts? but so that it can BE here, i post now!

Definitely this too.

Though I have a nasty suspicion I will not actually be posting these up until Saturday... since I'm lame and have a case study and marking and faculty bonding tomorrow night and then Friday is packing.

But I'll try!

HELLO CHARLIE. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

just in CASE!

hold for big sister christmas cooing!

just a reminder! you have until 3am EST today to post up for Christmas (except Emmeline, who is doing hers tomorrow since she is quite indisposed today--if you don't get yours up by 9am your time, I'll do them for you)!

Get to know My Guests. Want to know who's checking you out? You can now view the 100 most recent, logged-in users who visited your journal during the past 30-day period with My Guests. For those who prefer to fly under the radar, you can update your My Guests privacy setting here.

Introducing My Stats. If you have a Paid or Permanent account, you can now see detailed reports on how many people are visiting your journal, friends pages, and entries (wherever they're posted on LiveJournal). You can also view data on comments and RSS requests. My Stats is only available to Paid and Permanent account holders, but you can upgrade anytime. (FYI, an annual subscription costs less than a large pizza with everything on it, PLUS it's rumored to make you lose weight in your sleep!) For additional details on this feature, read this article in paidmembers.

Get ready to check your vital statistics!. To begin, mouse over Journal in the upper nav bar and select My Stats from the dropdown menu (Horizon) or select My Stats under Journal in the side bar (Vertigo). If you're using another design scheme, you can visit My Stats directly. You'll find My Guests on the My Stats tool bar.

Tweaks and Enhancements

1. The search is on: We've replaced our default search tool with one from Yandex, a leader in search engine technology. This means you'll get smarter, more granular results! To get started, enter your search terms and click the Go button to the left of the Find box on the upper right of the LiveJournal header. This will take you to the search landing page where you can further refine by Entries, Comments, People & communities, and FAQs. You can also access the search page directly.
2. Whitelisting: We've released a new option to help you moderate your busy communities more efficiently. If an entry contains a link to a whitelisted (i.e., trusted) site, it will be posted automatically without need for moderator approval. If a post contains a link that is not on the whitelist, you'll be prompted to approve. To access this option, please visit settings for any community you maintain and select the third option in the Community Moderation box (located in the lower left-hand corner). Click the enable link to custom-edit your community's whitelist, which has been prepopulated with trusted domains. You can manually add or delete URLs in the text box. Please note: If you're the maintainer of an unmoderated community, you may see the radio button for this setting checked, even though it's not active. This is a known issue. Please select whichever option you prefer and click Save Changes at the bottom of the page. If you're happy with your current settings, then no need to do anything!
3. TMI, dude: We've added some fun FREE sponsored vgifts! You can send up to 50 TMI vgifts to mutual friends (btw, you cannot send free vgifts to communities). If you're a Paid/Permanent user and you want to view sponsored gifts, click Show sponsored gifts on your homepage or visit the sponsored gift page. These vgifts will only be available through Wednesday, December 23rd.

You can view more awesome user content after the jump!

(nts: annual phone convo.)

Greer stood in the middle of her bedroom, staring up at Trevor. She linked her index fingers together and widened her eyes, directing her very best Juliet gaze at her boyfriend.

"Is this going to be our very own tragedy?" she asked quietly, referring to what was very possibly occuring downstairs. She nervously bit down on her lower lip. "If this ends with a mashed potato battle, my life is over. Over, Romeo."

Maybe she was being overdramatic over what was simply a meeting of their families. She had met Trevor's parents before. And he had met hers. But Marshall was there and his siblings and their parents would have to talk to each other!! Also, Meg had a heart. So Greer had nothing else to worry about.

I have some stuff to do that I really SHOULD get done... so I will hold a bunch, do that first and then change time/date and post!

(nts: "Ma", short "a".)

"Don't tell me you're calling your girlfriend," Jamie said with a roll of her eyes as she saw David take his phone out of his pocket. "It's Christmas."

"You've spent the entire day texting Bruce, you have no room to talk," David scolded, heading out of the living room of his grandparents house.

"That's texting, that's not calling, and he says hi!" Jamie called after him.

David hit the speed dial for Lindsey as he headed into the bedroom he shared with his sisters.

He was calling his girlfriend. He had a girlfriend.
