[+] Happy weekend, darling f-list! I hope you are all enjoying yourselves, recovering from Thanksgiving (if you have a TG to recover from). As for me, and following up from my tmi post the other day, ( possibly even more tmi... )

I still use Photobucket, but more often than not, I just upload directly to LJ. Easier. ;)

I'm sorry you didn't get the result you wanted :( And of course it's lovely to know your boyfriend wants it too. Makes you more sure you're on the same page. It'll happen for you soon, I'm sure!

Ah, it wasn't that I so desperately want to be pregnant right now, but when the 'chance' presented itself, it looked very nice. And he's my husband. :)

Any quick tutorials for the technologically unsavvy?

When you're posting an entry or leaving a comment, do it from the HTML or original comment page. The greenish box at the top of the entry/comment is for pictures. It says 'insert photo' if you hover over it. Click that, upload something from your computer, and you can designate if you only want friends to see it, or if you want it to be public, and then it'll be protected. :)

On the one hand: sad for no baby YET, on the other hand, treasure your freedom while you can. Once you go down the joyous road of motherhood, life is changed forever. More joy than you've ever known, coupled with less sleep than you've ever had ( ... )

Oh yeah, no we would have been good either way. And I know people always say you can't *plan* for a baby, but there's lots of things we want to get done first (bigger house, better job flexibility, etc.)

Internet Explorer? I'm just trying to be super careful with this new computer to not overload it with lots of junk that it didn't initially come with.

See, Never Let Me Go is a song for like, ALL of my OTP's (I mean, in my mind, I know it was a D/E song on the show), and I actually tend to use a lot of the same songs as inspiration for a lot of my couples. (Lifehouse's 'Broken', John Legend's 'All Of Me'...lots work for lots of people.)

I'm going to do Fandom Boyfriends next week. Stay tuned :) Can't wait to hear what you have to say!

And I didn't want to be all super unfeminist in my post (I've been called out on that before, nastily), but generally? My fandom girlfriends come as a process of me shipping them with someone. Sometimes it's more about the boy, sometimes it's more about the girl. I guess I go both ways!

I would try downloading another browser, unless you find uploading to LJ works for you. I've never liked that method myself. If you're skeptical of Firefox, Google Chrome might be a good bet? You can download and see if it fixes the problem, if not, just delete it!

I have soundtracks for all my OTPs, but very little crossover with the songs. I don't know why, but I just can't disassociate one to allow the other in. I'm a weirdo, as evidenced by this entire conversation ;-)

Please see my icon...I am a package deal kind of girl, and I don't claim to be a feminist, so they can all hate on me, I don't care :D But I do have the occasional out-of-character experience.

Indulge me. What's your Beth/Daryl playlist? (Or just a few tracks, if that would take all day.)

I am up through Crossed on my rewatch and am contemplating starting over from the beginning again.

LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling so terrible and had such a bad stomach flu. And that on top of that the results weren't exactly what you hoped. But it's good also to realize that you want it, that Michael wants it and that in a lot of ways you're ready for it. I do hope that soon enough there will be better results for you though ( ... )

Yeah, that's why I asked it of you, it was fresh in my mind!

And even now that I've had this up all day, there is much more to this pattern, and more variation, but these are some basics.

I watch a lot of shipping videos too (what can I say? I LOVE MAKEOUTS)- and fair is fair, that Beth vid and the Naevia one are technically 'shipping' videos, but I think it shows it a lot more from the girl's perspective.

Sorry to hear about the awful case of the flu you had! I hope you're feeling much better now. It's definitely that time of year when everyone gets sick *hugs*

Love love Tay Tay. Goodness. Stop being perfect. And hello Thea queen! So fierce
