So I figured I'd archive my LiveJournal into paper form, because that would be easier for browsing/Posterity/etc, and also save it in case any more entries decide to Disappear on me, like my review of the Deathly Hallows pt 1 movie did (LiveJournal help desk went on a search for it and determined it is Lost Forever. They gave me 1000 LJ Tokens for compensation. Um, what do you DO with LJ Tokens, anyway?)

So at the moment I'm just copying and pasting into a Word document. I'm going to go through and delete extraneous lines and space and pictures and stuff, fix the margins and font sizes and whatever, eventually when I'm done; but AS IS I have just finished copy-and-pasting the first year of entries (2005)... and it is over 600 pages long.

Granted I posted a lot more often the first year, and much of it was super-long survey memes...

Dudes, though.

I used LJBook to pdf mine two years at a time, with good results. Less control than by hand, but you can specify whether to include comments, leave out private entries, etc.

Ah. Looks good! The only thing I'd want to mess with would be to either delete entirely or include in really small font, possibly in columns, all those really long list memes that have you bold and italicize and cross out all the items you like/hate/whatever. Maybe I can just choose not to print those pages...

Finally got around to doing this. It is a total of 1494 pages long! Going to pick and choose which I actually print, I think...
