oh man, Loudtwitter...I don't know. I think it's dead :( I disabled it after I stopped using it several times a day every day. This (http://greg.cohoon.name/misc/twitter2lj.txt) looks promising, but too technical for me for this late at night.
It suddenly struck me as bizarre that people can drift from direct communication just because they use different blogging platforms. This problem never happened back when everyone was still writing letters by Pony Express. Of course, then they drifted from direct communication because the ponies got eaten by wolves or shit like that.

I wish we'd met sooner than we did in real life. I need to get to New York for so, so many reasons. And maybe stay there.
