A request and a freak-out

dolorosa_12Has anyone heard about this? I've been noticing various apocalyptic responses popping up all day on my friends-page and, as usual, I've jumped on the Armageddon bandwagon. I've been a member of LJ since 2005. What started out as a way to stay in touch with Canberra friends such as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
catpuccino, dandysora and miss_foxy while I was in Sydney has enriched my life in so many ways. Through LJ I've discovered that many of my obscure obsessions have active and friendly fandoms. I've had a fantastic outlet for practicing my writing - in particular my critical writing and reviewing (although in recent times I do that mostly on Wordpress). But most importantly, I've felt a sense of community. There are several fantastic people I've met on LJ and don't know from anywhere else. And that's what I'm worried about, should LJ end. I'd be sad to lose contact with these people. That's why I'm making this rather odd request. Would you be able to send me your email addresses so that I can stay in touch with you if LJ gets the chop?
Also, any programs that can help with backing up LJ entries would be most appreciated. Otherwise I'm just going to have to copy-paste the whole thing into Word documents.
