If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Based on my previous post about our meetup, I decided to see if I could find some of those LiveJournal folks on Google. I found not only some LJ users, but a couple other sites as well.
Mountaintop.be: According to this page, the site is based in Bend. I'll see if I can get ahold of the guy, as he's the only non-LJ site I came across.
Then I came across a pile of LJ sites after clicking on the "Friends" info on a few of them:
RAMBLETRON 4.75.269: A LJ site that's updated every couple/few days. I haven't read through it, but the entire latest entry is "Happy Mothers Day, Motherfuckers." so take that as you will.
Da Tea Party: Man, that's an ugly site. Even for LJ.
Most of the LJ sites are just mindless ranting and talks about sex and drinking and the like, but I'm sure there's some useful content on some of them. I'll be checking them periodically, but it might be a bit before I add them to the Bend blogs list.
Dane, you have plenty of targets, it would appear.
If any of you local LiveJournal guys has any comments, feel free to do so here.

But I wanna go out and play! Mum's making me sit in and work on these graduation announcements. Ahh. I don't even know what quote I want to put in it. It has to be about or involve trees. Because trees are cool, and people suck. No. Because there is a picture of a tree stamped on the front.
Not exactly Dickens, is it?
I think I need a hug.....

Jake said on 05/13/04 @ 11:17 PM: OK, Dane, you're starting to worry me...
And yes, Logjam, the writing and commentary on those sites is bad. Very bad.
