I am sorry I missed this post when you originally put it up. It is sad to have lost those things. However, if you keep your emails from Gmail, as I do, you should have backups of some of the threads.

I was one of those people who bought a permanent LJ, so it is kind of sad to kiss all of that goodbye. I am so very glad I met you and your muses (especially Hsu) on LJ. I will be forever grateful and treasure our friendship that began there. :)
