And although they <i>say</i> there will be no changes, I'm quite sceptical-- There's hardly any possiblility it will stay the same in the face of something so huge and corporate. And, what with the time I've put into LJ and such, and all the thousands of pages of thoughts and feelings I've stored in it, it's got me kind of <i>scared</i>. Oh. Well. It seems that the rumors are true.
