Well if you are going to be like that, I am not talking about Rawn with you...which might be for the best. I am a little scared you are never going to speak to me again. *hides*

I bought a permanent sub earlier this year when they were selling them, but I was thinking more in terms of never having to pay again than of extra icons - I've still got about 75 left.

I have 74 left. I did it just to fit that one extra in.

You are indeed quite weak...

... Okay, so maybe less weak than someone who bought a permanent account just to have more pretty pictures to play with.

Not that I know anyone who did that, you understand. *looks shifty*

I resisted for a while! That's got to be worth something!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I remember when you were new and innocent and you said you didn't need icons because you weren't a graphical type person. And I thought - and probably said to you, because I am mouthy like that - that as you were, so had I once been, and soon you would be as I was then.

And I was right. I was so, so right. And now you have the icon slots to prove it ( ... )

I am slowly but surely turning into you. Actually, this is not the first step: I have already begun to compile a database of fanfic that I really liked. I have no idea if you will be flattered or scared by this; in fact, I'm betting on an even mixture of the two.

I have not yet looked at the Advanced Customization Center, because I have already spent way too much time in my life coding PHP and PostgreSQL journal interfaces and user systems for no good reason at all, other than I didn't know how to do it when I started and it seemed like something worth learning. I am sure that the moment I started to read the FAQ for the programming for the ACC, I would immediately start implementing my own CSS and custom tags and sub-sections and various different types of links I could then use when hard-coding my personal entries to provide the most aesthetically pleasing and simplistic layout possible and then, five days later, actually go to sleep and wake up the next morning and realize that I have been fired from my job, failed out of school, ( ... )

I'm pretty sure that's against some kind of statute. Not to mention all common sense. Which makes me sort of like the idea, actually.

What? Why have you not been posting these? Or at least sharing them with me? I mean, we're apparently turning into replicas of each other; I think the least you can do for an inexact replica of yourself is share your fic recs.

You realize that I'm a very persistent person, and now that you have told me this, I will not give up until you either start posting recs or you give me links. Maybe both.

*turns "nag" up to 11*

Huh. Maybe we really are each other.

I'm kind of scared now.

In short: avoiding the Advanced Customization Center. Programming knowledge + overwhelming OCD + New Shiny == trouble.

Well, yeah. I mean, obviously. But that's the ( ... )
