My brain has drifted out to the Furthest Ring to hang with the horrorterrors.

I haven't had a dream I'd really term a nightmare for a couple of years. I have scary dreams all the time, but on some level my subconscious must be pretty optimistic, because there's always some kind of escape route or task to complete to get rid of the bad thing.

But last night I decided to skip my before-bed Benadryl. I've been taking it pretty much every night recently, because I've been having really bad insomnia, but I'm not exactly thrilled about the idea of getting dependent on it, so. I didn't fall asleep until about five AM, and when I did I apparently dropped straight into this really long nightmare where I was trying to get out of this evil multistory Japanese department store, and I could never find the ground floor, and each floor had some new awful obstacle.

( Cut for the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors. )

So I took the fucking Benadryl tonight, because Jesus Christ.

I'm going to stop crossposting to LiveJournal.

Due to aggregate aggravation building over the course of a number of years, rather than any specific reason or incident. I'm still going to read my Flist over there, given that DW doesn't support reading secure RSS, so I'd miss some access-locked posts if I just turned everyone I read over there into a feed.

I'm sure the answer to this is going to be "no", but: Does there exist some kind of script that would go through my LiveJournal entries, match them up to my Dreamwidth ones, and just replace the text of the LiveJournal post with a link to the DW one?

I don't really want to leave my content up over there, but I'd feel like I was contributing to the entropy of the universe, in the form of linkrot, if I just deleted everything. I don't want to give QB any more rationalization for its behavior.

The horror of self-knowledge.

It turns out that I will read unrelentingly grim milSF, if it is presented to me in the form of Homestuck fanfic about Sollux. This is like finding a zero-day exploit, right here.

(I identify a little too much with Sollux, despite his relatively thin characterization, because he is an ill-tempered programmer who hears voices; I even used to have a lisp. Though at no time in my career as a speech therapy patient did I choose to type in it.)
