It's me, Ann! Yes, Badger's talked me into getting an LJ and I'm glad I did because it's loads prettier than blogspot. I'm still trying to figure out a lot of things, like custom titles and it all looks very confusing, but perhaps I've done that to myself. I don't know. And... that's all. Except: OMG BRIDESHEAD!!! -loves picture-
Just wanted to say that I really like the way your LJ looks right now. It's so neat and ooooh, flowers! I'm still thinking of ways to edit mine, but I'm not sure how to and I want a picturrre... Darn me and my perpetual procrastinating.
Yeah, I think I'll go for that last one. I've already etided all of my posts to make them friends only, but now I want a picture and all snazzy jazz that comes with it. (:
No matter how much I love your layout, it's... yours. Yes.
Well, create a post where you put the picture and the "friends only" text.
Then change the date to something far in the future - 2029 or something. And then tick the box "date out of order". And then, just post your entry, and you should see it at the top of the page.
Hello there, much like with another above me (below as I type), you caught my eye with your Sebastian Flyte icon over on film_stills the other week, then again when you posted "Death In Venice" stills ... much unlike the others (I presume), I'm only halfway through watching "Brideshead Revisited" and find it a gorgeously photographed bore and unnervingly religion-laden (oh, to know the outcome for poor Charles is too cruel!), yet I can't shake a mild fascination with young Lord Flyte ... and (as you see I am gradually approaching my purpose) you seem to be rather interesting yourself. We don't have the world in common, but a fondness of dandyism and music collecting might just be enough, who knows? I've shed some of my youth and brightness but things, things is what I'm full of.
On a fascinating sidenote - you may have come across this phenomenon before - the spell check tells me to replace 'dandyism' (as well as my secondary attempt, 'dandysm') with 'toadyism'.
Always nice to know someone else who appreciates Sebastian Flyte, even if you're not completely convinced by the series as a whole. And according to last.fm, musically we share quite a bit in common too (The Smiths, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Joy Division, Patrick Wolf, The Velvet Underground...).
So it's very nice to meet you. Although I hadn't noticed the "dandyism" thing with the spell check before. Intriguing...
Ah, and I just spell-checked it and you're right. Apparently you have to choose from "dandy ism", "dandy-ism" and "toadyism".
'Not completely convinced' is putting it better than I appear to have managed - perhaps there is hope for me yet. Ah yes, we do, although those are all these 'basic' bands, aren't they? But I shan't complain, less details shared means more to learn. I am delighted by the fact that 'ism' itself is an acceptable word.

If you ever want to steal the profile layout, then just ask and I'll give you the code.
And if you want to make it all snazz and "friends only" with a picture, then I can tell you how to do that too.

Have a go, and tell me if you have any problems.
