At somepoint, we all grown up and leave Never Never Land...
I needed a fresh new journal. Feel free to come visit me, as I will not be updated this one any further.

| Intro For Brigit's Flame: July Competition |

Well, hello my new friends! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Landra Lynn, Marine Wife and Writer Goddess Extraordinare! (Erm... 'scuse me while I polish my tiara. Tee hee.)
In all seriousness, I have been writing longer than anyone can imagine. I do believe that I was the only fourth grader in the course of history to be polishing her first romance novel, desperately hoping that the elementary school librarian would one day pick it up and shout "Eureka! Here is the best work of word art in the history of the world!" Alas, this never happened. But I persisted on and have dabbled in the art of freelance writing for quite sometime into my adulthood.
It also keeps my mind at bay while my husband is deployed. We are gypsies this summer... while he tours the world, I am making my rounds as a semi-professional housesitter who enjoys taking dips in the pool to escape from 115 degree Tucson heat.
Good luck to everyone!

This is being posted because I have been with LJ for many years under a few journals, and I do not agree with a few of their policies that have been created now that they are under new ownership. Feel free to post in your own journal as well.
The one-day content strike is on for this Friday, March 21, from midnight GMT to midnight GMT.
For 24 hours, we will not post or comment to LJ. Not in our own journals, not in communities. Not publicly, privately, or under friends-lock.
This is a protest that will have long-lasting effects, showing up forever in the daily posting statistics.
This is a protest that will not harm LJ in the long run, as leaving LJ might do.
This is a protest that will demonstrate the power of community, as all users unite to support Basic users and the concept of adfree space.
This is a protest that will educate the new owners that LJ is driven by user-created content.
For those of you who don't already know, there has been a strike scheduled for Friday, March 21st, 2008, during which we hope to have many members of LiveJournal provide LJ with absolutely no content for twenty-four hours. This means no posting and no commenting. If you post elsewhere and have it set up to be posted through a feed on LiveJournal, don't do it. Stay away from LiveJournal for twenty-four hours. That can't be too hard, can it? I know some of you are probably quite active on LiveJournal and will find it hard to stay away for an entire day, just as I will, but this is something that needs to be done, to show the people running LiveJournal that we're watching the changes they are making, that we're paying attention, that we're discontent, and that we want to be heard and taken in to consideration. We are not simply users who can be tossed to the side and ignored. We are the people who make up LiveJournal. Without us, without the content we create, without our words, our voices, our creativity, our participation, there would be no LiveJournal. This is a fact, and it needs to be realized and understood and then taken in to consideration when making decisions regarding the way that LiveJournal is run. The strike is only a few days away, so there isn't all too much time to prepare. While this is unfortunate, it isn't enough to keep this strike from taking place. It will take place, the second it is meant to, and it would be best to have as many people take part as possible. Please, spread the word. Spread it fast. There are only a few days to organize this. If you find that you care about LiveJournal or care about the people you interact with on LiveJournal or simply want it to remain a place where you can entertain yourself without constant censorship and money-hungry practices being thrown in without the consideration of those who use the service, act now. If you don't wish to spread the word, that is fine, but please: refrain from using LiveJournal on Friday, March 21st. Do something else for a change. It's for a good cause. :)
For background on this strike and why it is being held, please read the following posts:

To find out exactly when the strike begins and ends, depending on where you are located, please see this:

What's this about?
* It's about free and ad-free LiveJournal accounts being abolished for new members, ignoring the advice from the newly-formed Advisory Board.
* It's about LJ staff trying to sneak this decision in under the radar, and when people found out, telling the users it was done 'to make the signup process less confusing'.
* It's about LJ staff failing to apologize for trying to hide the facts from view and for lying about the actual reasons for their actions.
* And finally, it's about the latest decision to hide certain user interests from the list of Most Popular Interests, some of them being fanfiction, bisexuality, sex and depression. This decision was not announced or explained in any way. Users found out for themselves.
The 24-hour strike will begin at the following times for the following locations:
Thursday, March 20, 2:00 PM -- Honolulu
Thursday, March 20, 4:00 PM -- Anchorage
Thursday, March 20, 5:00 PM -- San Francisco; Los Angeles

Jackie and Megan... and all Miranda Lambert fans... this one is for you!
One of my good friends is a night dj at our local radio station, and she emailed me this because we were having a long conversation about Miranda the other night at the bar. I found it cute and thought I'd post it ;o)
At the other end of the spectrum is “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” which – in the tradition of KEROSENE’s breakthrough title song – presents Lambert as a woman you damn sure don’t want to do wrong. “We had started a song called ‘Favorite Ex-Girlfriend,’ which was kind of a sweet song,” she recalls. “And I said, you know, I hate this, it’s not me - I don’t do sweet songs.” With a quick change of a single word, an unforgettable new kind of anthem was born.

I want you (yes YOU!) to tell me exactly what you think about me. Be truthful, be honest, be yourself. Whether it's nice or mean (though if it's mean why would you still be my LJ friend?), funny or serious. Whether we're just now getting to know each other or have been friends for a while. I just want to know.
ONLY POST ANONYMOUSLY!
