Yay! I love it when livejournal seems to think I'm not logged in for the purpose of viewing ONE post -- a post that I opened in a new tab from my friends list, where I WAS able to see it! And it's not that the cookie picked this magical moment to expire, because I can also load up other friends-locked stuff right now just fine! Gee, mysteries like this (and the exclamation point) are so FUN!
