I've been a member in the Reddit equivalent for a long time but just doing a litmus paper test to see if there are any bites here in 2025? If not, I'll just slip back into the shadows but I remembered once upon a time this used to be a lively community with fellow Victorians using LJ as a resource for info.

Guess those days are long gone.

This is more of a test post to see if there's anyone in Victoria still using LiveJournal. I find that this service is getting wonkier as the years go by without Brad manning the site. Harsh to see this community more dead than the peaceful solitude I feel whenever I visit my set of grandparents at Royal Oak Burial park.

If I'm not here, I'm usually wandering around as a level 7 Google Maps user around the city but it would be kinda cool if enough people band up here to have some sort of a pathetic LJ meet, kinda like how things were in the 90s when dial-up BBS meets at the Underground CyberCafe (now The Mint) used to be the cool thing to do in town?

Okay, back to hiding in the shadows and flicking the odd lint-ball on this community.

Estos días estuve en la búsqueda constante de saber la verdad de mi nombre. Busqué en un diccionarios de los nombres, con la esperanza de encontrar lo qué deseaba buscar. Realmente pude encontrar grandes significados importantes qué realmente no tenía ni idea qué eso era así. Si quieres realizar algo y lo quieres lograr, debes de intentarlo.

my massage therapist just moved and i'm looking to replace him.
does anyone have a favourite massage therapist that works downtown?

has anyone here used a doula during childbirth?
if so, can you recommend someone to me?

I am furnishing a new home (new to me) and I'm looking for a couple of items.

One is a kitchen/dining room table-and-chairs set. I've been to the Brick and Sears, and I think Dodd's is out of my price range. While I have no objection to thrift stores, I need a place that will deliver and I don't think Value Village, Salvation Army, etc. deliver.

The other thing I want is a particular style of headboard for my bed. I think it's called a "bookcase headboard." It's the type of headboard you can store items in, like a clock, books, etc. The Brick has them for children's beds but not adult beds. Sears has them on their website but not in their store. Sleep Country doesn't have them.

Any suggestions on where I might find these items? Thanks.

can anyone recommend a hairstylist in downtown victoria who is amazing at short hairstyles?
i'm over taking chances and having my hair end up looking boring, or growing out terribly.

hi!

i'm considering doing a walk-in on my birthday at the end of this month and wondering if anyone has a favorite artist or shop i should definitely go to.

i love colour and attention to detail and flowers!

it would be especially great if they were available on the weekend. :)

hey everyone, happy holidaze. :P

my husband and i are planning to trek down to portland this weekend via the coho.
all the reserved spots are taken; does anyone know what "portion" of space is saved for those of us who'll show up without a reservation?
just wondering how much earlier we should get there to ensure that we get on.

thanks!
