Okay, so apparently it’s possible to have journal entries emailed to you. Does anyone know anything about this? Daylin mentioned it, but I don’t think it applies to LiveJournal or DeadJournal; but I think it DOES apply to MySpace, Xanga, Diaryland, and maybe others that I’m currently unaware of. Anyway, she said she hasn’t updated her LiveJournal because she hasn’t figured out a way to get friends’ entries emailed to her. And here I am sitting here not even knowing such a thing is possible. Although I must admit, I’d never set that for my journal cause I already get enough email as it is. So, can anyone fill me in?
On another note: MY LOWER LEFT LIP AND CHIN ARE STILL NUMB FROM LAST SATURDAY! WTF!
