Question: Is there a feature on an LJ client (or on the site in general that I'm not aware of) that creates a backup of your LJ that you can save to your hard drive? Does anyone know of an easier way to do it than just going through your LJ copying text from old entries? Because that's what I've been doing and (a) it's TEDIOUS and requires EFFORT (two things I hate), and (b) it forces me to face how completely boring and lame my life and most of my entries (especially back in my college days -- God, did I need to write five separate whining entries about how I didn't feel like writing papers every time I got an assignment?!) are.

Any advice would be so very much appreciated!
