Has anyone used this LJ archiving tool before and know if it's legit? I was searching for fic-friendly LJ templates on LJ (how is mine for readability of large text? I might change the size in the CSS) and found it on sourceforge.

I forgot where I put my LJ fic converter post when I did my tag overhaul last month. 

Anyway, you guys know that Word pastes in a lot of XML crap into the HTML when you directly copy and paste your fic into the Rich Text box. Because LJ counts the code and not the letters, this means that it can tell you that fics that should fit in your post actually do not fit. Formatting the HTML can be a pain, and you can still have formatting errors. I always run my Word docs through this fantastic HTML cleaner (http://word2cleanhtml.com/) before posting fic here. It's so so amazingly beautiful.

Dear self, who will be searching through my email to find this post later, here are some keywords:

Changed my post font to Verdana for easier reading and increased the size. What do you guys think? Better?

One of my friends has a tendency to lash out at people when she's feeling frustrated or upset. I really don't like this, but I'm not sure exactly what I can do about it, because she's a wonderful person otherwise.

She was working on physics homework, and we were showing her the trick of manipulating equations to solve the physics problem.

I remember she said, "I can't do that. I just can't see that." And then after getting frustrated, "Sam and David (our two other friends) can do this because they're guys."

I get enough of this shit from the media for being a woman in the engineering profession, so I tried to get across my point as politely as possible in what I hoped was disarming humour. I tried to tell her that of course that wasn't true and I was a little hurt by her comment.

And she shouted at me and said, "Could you stop being such a fucking feminist for one second? I was joking!"

Aaaand I was just shocked speechless.
