ok K, here's a space where we can talk about all things technical. it's ironic, my mom still thinks I'm some kind of untouchable computer genius just cause I know how to use a search engine. I've been trying to teach her basic computer skills since the 6th grade, but she still asks questions so inane, it's clear that she doesn't even have a tenuous

...how come on some of the links to fics in the abbyneela archives, it says "error, you are not authorized to view this protected entry?" I don't like being teased w/ fic I can't read!

I went through and tried a lot of the links and the most plausible answer I can come up with is the people who wrote the fics went back and friends only locked all of their entries because most of the fics were written a while back. wizened_cynic is a big perpetrator of this, she's a friend of mine and I suppose if you look up her journal and comment on a post you can see, explaining your request to read her Nabby fics, she may let you. Let me know if you have any trouble friending people, watching vs. joining a community, etc

ohhhh yeahhh...you know what, I *do* know these codes, they're the same ones that were on the willow/tara board I used to belong to (the kitten, the witches & the bad wardrobe). they were called "ez codes" there, but aside from adding in the term "lj", it was exactly the same. it's all making sense now. fun.

and I guess I'll try making friends with people as you suggest...that's something I like to do anyway, and one of the funnest parts of being in a fic community, besides the actual reading & writing of stories. as for making icons...there's little to no chance of me doing anything involving photoshop. I'm more than happy to use other people's work as long as I have been given permission to do so; that was a really good tip about plaugerism, thanx a lot. I'd hate to piss anyone off accidentally (when I piss someone off, I like to be doing it intentionally. see how I learn?

...by the way, I read some of your fics, too, and they also rock. I especially liked "grilled cheeze"...too cute.

Bwah, I wouldn't say my fic is good...pathetic attempts to join my brain with reality. Whatev's, last question concerning LJ....do you want help pretty-ing up your layout???

Re: ps

[jew_witch]

yes please! I like pretty things. almost as much as pretty girls. so, yeah.

Re: ps

[kennedyismyhero]

Pretty girls, eh? Don't suppose you like Lost by any chance???

Re: ps

[jew_witch]

duh, what kind of dyke would I be if pretty girls didn't top my list? not the kind that becomes a smith college women's studies major, that's for shizzle. but no, I don't even know what lost is...a tv show? if it involves hot girls who kick ass in some way (preferably with kung fu moves), then I'm in. actually, before parminder nagra came on the cast, I wasn't into er at all-- I usually go for the more fantastical, girlpower-superhero stuff, like buffy and xena and charmed.

so, that's a yes to lj beautification. tho, I am getting on a plane to visit my sis in chicago on tuesday, and I know I'm not gonna be doing ANYTHING but partying, going to concerts and making out with strangers till after new years'...sweet jesus, get me on the plane already!!!
