Anyone know what this error message means or what to do about it?

ljArchive Error: System.Xml.XmlException: The root element is missing.

Or where I got this program so I can dowload it again?

Thanks!

More from fab_feb_friends: Today's activity is to share the love by sharing your memories. Make a post on your journal to spin some yarns about how you came to find and love these folks who make it worth your time to surf the internet.

When I first got an LJ account I friended a few BNF in HP fandom and mostly just lurked, aside from the initial two people I knew from yahoo groups, olivia_lupin and maruchina. Over time, I added fandoms, posted a few fics, and out of the blue people who I didn't know at all started to add me. So I added them back, read their journals... And some of them became among the most important people in my life.

Most of the super-good friends I have from LJ are the ones I correspond with in email or talk to in chat a lot (or used to - *mental note to return some emails*). Some people I only know through LJ comments and google groups, and would love to know better. I am touched by the sense of community, the (general) acceptance of other points of view, the whole-hearted positive attitude about sex, and the openness of fandoms. Some fandoms wank more than others, some are cliquier, some are tin-hattier, but they're all created and exist to share the love and enthusiasm and squee. And through that rather silly common bond, we've found each other.

I have had stories published in actual novels, traveled to two different countries, met people from all over the US, written stories on far wider themes and subjects than I would have in a vacuum, thanks to my f-list. I have had crushes, I have giggled, I have snuggled, and I have wanted to snog more of you than I will ever admit. *g* I have also been given the emotional support to deal with marriage troubles, my best friend's suicide, my parent's ill health, my mental breakdowns, and starting my own sexuality coaching business - including self-publishing my book.

All because of you.

There are a lot of people on my f-list I don't know very well, some new friends and some old. I lurk more than I'd like and comment less. But you all collectively bring a lot of joy to my life and I look forward to getting to know many of you better as the days pass.

*loves*

...because "why not?" is always the best reason to do something.

Sonnet XIV - Every Day You Play

Every day you play with the light of the universe.
Subtle visitor, you arrive in the flower and the water.
You are more than this white head that I hold tightly
as a cluster of fruit, every day, between my hands.

You are like nobody since I love you.
Let me spread you out among yellow garlands.
Who writes your name in letters of smoke among the stars of the south?
Oh let me remember you as you were before you existed.

Suddenly the wind howls and bangs at my shut window.
The sky is a net crammed with shadowy fish.
Here all the winds let go sooner or later, all of them.
The rain takes off her clothes.

The birds go by, fleeing.
The wind. The wind.
I can contend only against the power of men.
The storm whirls dark leaves
and turns loose all the boats that were moored last night to the sky.

You are here. Oh, you do not run away.
You will answer me to the last cry.
Cling to me as though you were frightened.
Even so, at one time a strange shadow ran through your eyes.

Now, now too, little one, you bring me honeysuckle,
and even your breasts smell of it.
While the sad wind goes slaughtering butterflies
I love you, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.

How you must have suffered getting accustomed to me,
my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running.
So many times we have seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes,
and over our heads the gray light unwind in turning fans.

My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.
I go so far as to think that you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells,
dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want
to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.

More from fab_feb_friends: Today's activity is about making it more personal. Choose at least 5 people on your f-list, and send them a Private Message. They can be people you talk to all the time, or friends you rarely connect with; maybe it's even time to make some long overdue introductions! Take the time to drop a note, let them know they are appreciated.

Done!

Also, becuase I love someecards.com, I trolled through their site and found these goodies to share:

( humor of the adult sort )

Enjoy!

I just removed over 30 communities from my f-list. Some were dead, some moved mostly to insane journal, some were simply for fandoms I'm not part of any longer.

If one of those groups belonged to you (in particular, if it was a fic journal), please know that it was totally not personal. I enjoyed all of the fic communities very much at one time, but the sheer number (80!) was getting a bit unwieldy.

I still like you all as people, even if our fannish interests have diverged.

Here is what I have to say:

As usual with wankery, I choose to remain silent. I don't think silence is offensive unless it's a "crime of omission." I have opinions. Some people will disagree with them. Some will agree. But when it comes down to it, I don't really care if anyone agrees or disagrees and I try to follow a strict no-wank-spreading policy in my own LJ. So why bother posting? I know how I feel and that's enough.

I just want to see (and share) more posts about hawt boyz and tehsexh, plzkthx. ;)

*****

I am, however, totally confused by the whole LJ thing. Once again, I had just decided to renew my LJ because the Russian Threat wasn't seeming so evil, and now... WTF? IJ blows. Fandom didn't migrate. Multiple posting sucks. I don't know what to do.

Anyone who wants to express an opinion about LJ options is welcomed and encouraged.

I have some files I'd like to share - both music and video. I'm a bit inept at this sort of thing. I've used megaupload and yousend it, both. They take forever and ever and ever just to upload, nevermind making a post about it.

Is there some shortcut I don't know about? Is one program better than the other or some third one I ought to try?

Or just suck it up, quit whining, and do it while I'm reading a fic or something?

Soon a fanmix and some naughty movies will be coming your way...

Four community recs in honor of the theme



1. smutday - My leading source of smutty stills and art, male and female, queer and straight. Beautiful smut posted at least once a week.

2. porn_exchange - Used to be more active, but still worth checking out. Members upload porno movies (or clips) and share.

3. pr0n4u - A new and very active porno-sharing site created by a friend, who generously uploads and shares her porn. Membership is regulated, so let me know if you want to join and I'll happily vouch for you if I know you.

4. slashyhomemaker - My group. Recipes and naked boys. Housekeeping tips and naked boys. Some arts and crafts and naked girls, too. :)

*cryptic*

First 6 people who tell me they're still vaguely into POTC and comment with their snailmail address will get something in the mail.

*/cryptic*


ETA: Way over 6 people. I'll check supplies and see if I can find enough to cover all of you who replied before I break the bad news.

ETA: DONE - managed to score 12 more, all spoken for. :)

(comments screened)

After playing with the setting and checking out what it looks like if you're
a) me
b) someone else with an over-18 age statement
c) not logged in
d) someone without an age statement

I've decided to go ahead and flag my whole journal. Hopefully this means I can relax about whether or not I'll eventually get booted off LJ for writing porn and not f-locking my journal or checking for age statements on people who friend me.

I figure that:
a) I am an adult. I talk about adult things. My journal's not really appropriate for anyone under 18, especially if they can't be bothered to lie about it.

b) If you're logged in and have an age statement saying you're over 18, it doesn't look any different at all. That's the majority of my readers/friends, so it should be fine.

c) I have seriously been paranoid that I'd just wake up one day and find I'd been deleted. I know I'm not a BNF but hey, paranoia is, by definition, not rational.

So anyway. Flag = yes. At least until I change my mind... ;)
