So I've got a bit of a dilemma. Three dilemmas, actually, two of which are related.
The first dilemma: I'm bored, tired and have a twenty-first birthday luncheon thing tomorrow that I need to be all awake and chirpy for. But, in order to get myself to bed tonight, I need to drag my butt out of my nice, warm study, take iPod outside and stand with him in the blustering wind and rain so that he can pee there and not on my bedroom floor, trundle up to said room where I have forgotten to turn on the heater, change out of my nice warm clothes and into cold pajamas, and finally climb into a cold bed. Is it worth it? Well, probably, but I'll have to work up the courage to be able to do it.
The second dilemma: I would really like to have my journal on my website again. I really enjoyed the good old days of Greymatter when I had it installed on intrepidity.net and back even further to the days of the now defunct unjaded.net. (Side note: in the space of three or four days I have, bizarrely, bumped into two friends from unjaded.net: angelamaria and twonineteen. Remind me to write an entry on the good old days of unjaded.net). To solve this dilemma, I am under the impression that if I upgrade my livejournal account to a paid one I can embed my journal on my site. Correct? Would I then be able to customise my journal so that it looks exactly the way I want it to; i.e will it look the same as the rest of my site or will it still be noticably livejournal? Help would be much appreciated by anyone in the know-how.
The third dilemma: intrepidity.net is hosted by my brother-in-law's company. Admittedly, he's the director and probably has little to do with my site besides ordering his accounts department not to charge me and his tech guys to provide free help, but he knows of it, and, consequently, so does my sister. So do I really want my sister and brother-in-law reading my journal? What if either of them, my sister in particular, accidently lets slip about its existence to Mum or Dad and suddenly the whole family is reading it? Do I want that? Probably not. Maybe I could swear the two of them to silence, an oath they would probably keep, but I'm still a little unsure of whether I should risk it. I guess that any entries that could be potentially harmful/offensive or that could get me into trouble with family could be friends only-ed.
I'll have to think on this a little more. By the way, I've noticed that the plural for 'dilemma' is simply 'dilemmas'. If you vote me President of the Galaxy I will see to it that the said plural is officially changed to "dilemmi;" then people can say to each other, "I'm suffering from muliple dilemmi" to which the other person can reply, "really? I've only got one dilemma."
Right. Enough drivel. *musters courage* Off to bed.
