LJ back-ups, quicker than I thought

mossy_benchGuess how many LJ pages I had bookmarked. 14. Only 14!
I decided just now to sit down and finally back up my old bookmarks on Livejournal before I lose the chance (see this post for more info). I never had a personal journal there (did take over an admin account for a community, at one point) but I remember reading loads of fic on LJ, across various fandoms. I decided to find all the LJ links in my bookmarks manager and then export them as PDFs/find them on the Wayback Machine as needed.
And then, was floored to see that I'd only bookmarked a handful of fic. Where had all the rest of them gone? I remembered reading and lovingly cataloging so many works back in the day.
Then I had the epiphany that I had saved them all NOT in my browser bookmarks manager, but in fact in Delicious, which is dead as a doornail. I probably knew this at one point, but had blocked the memory out because it made me too sad to think about.
I guess my back-up efforts will take much less time than I'd originally thought.
