My vaunted weekend of productivity is already off to a bad start: after stumbling upon these images, I found myself unable to resist the temptation of redoing my layout, which, in my defence, had not been changed in some time. Needless to say, my general incompetence in the realm of CSS and Adobe Photoshop led to my spending more time than ( Read more... )

Oh, goodness, it seems that I just noticed --

So, after all of that, I am still here, loving it, and loving you all. ♥

So I may be five days late, but the new year is still new -- I still accidentally date my handwritten journal entries with "07" at the end.

Let's start the new year off right. The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something -- anything you think you should know ( Read more... )

Not like anyone cares what I have to say about it, as I do not write/draw chan or moderate any high profile communities, but theoretically speaking, freedom of speech still exists.

So, hurrah, here we go again: fandom spams news, threatens to migrate to [insert blogging service of your choice] (or actually migrates), and generally makes a fuss. It ( Read more... )

New layout -- virginia_bell! I love how, for me, "new layout" = making a new header and changing up the colours/words a bit. Though, this time, I had some minor coding issues to fix. Created with help from John Donne and Carte Postale, to whom I owe those lovely vintage postcards you see in the header. They were no doubt overpriced but too cute to resist; I ( Read more... )

Heh, I forgot, somehow? Goodness -- I have spent three years among madness and never loved it more. ♥

In RL, I keep multiple notebooks. I reserve one for my official, handwritten journal, and another is for my random scribblings during school that may or may not be school-related. And then there is the prose notebook, where I copy down quotable passages from books, and the recently started poetry notebook for poems of general awesomeness.

I had a massive squee!moment yesterday when I learned that LiveJournal released an Edit Journal Privacy, which lets you alter the security level of multiple entries at once, for paid users. I'm still in the middle of converting this journal to mostly friends-only (what is and isn't is delineated in some detail at the very bottom of the official ( Read more... )

Hello, paid LJ account holders on the flist. Which is, um, quite a few of you, actually. If you haven't yet, you can apparently extend your paid time for a week because of the Great El-Jay Blackout that occurred ( Read more... )

I escaped from the Dungeon of Virginia Bell!

I killed Dominiquelechic the kobold, Annephoenix the zombie, Micromegas the dragon, Snorkackcatcher the leprechaun, Dreamer Marie the cockatrice, Silkcorset the troll, Roseofshalott the troll, P0liticks the dragon and Teslaesque the orc.

I looted the Crown of Ceilidh, the Dagger of Snowflake Star, the ( Read more... )
