Well, permanent accounts are now on sale. For a few hours, anyway.

Go get 'em while they're hot.

Edit: People sure are bitchy. First, it's all "GIMME A PERMANENT ACCOUNT!!!" and then it's "WE ONLY GET FIFTY USER PICTURES? THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!" and then it's "OMG! WHY DON'T PAID ACCOUNTS GET MORE USER PICTURES????" and now it's "I CAN'T BELIEVE PAID ACCOUNTS GET SO MANY USER PICTURES! I HATE YOU FOR THAT!!!!"

*dramatic eyeroll*

OH WOW COOL!

There's an article that explains this, hold on.

I'll say it again. OH WOW COOL.

Talk about passive aggressive....

Planting an endangered species to prevent development...?

Taken from the appropriately-named thornleaf. I'm with her, "pistil-packing" is a good "pune, or play on words". Oh, look, random Pterry!

OMG! BUSH IS IGNORING PUBLIC CONCERNS! Honestly, the phrase "this is news?" should be my tagline. Bleh.

And a rather amusing bit on fashion, with a lot about the beauty that is pockets. That are pockets? That pockets are? That pockets is? HELP!

*smiles*

BSG. New season in five weeks.
Monk. New season in four weeks.
Oh, and Stargate in five weeks, so BSG-haters will have something to do as well :)

AND! I found the CD I'd lost.

AND! I'm just unreasonably happy right now. I don't know why, it's broiling hot, it's miserable out, but I'm happy happy.

Oh, and my cough is gone. Yay.

It's not asthma, guys, unless asthma can be triggered by nothing more than - and by nothing more, I mean "nothing else triggers it, at all, as far as I can tell, and it is my body" - nothing more than humidity and damp. Though I thank you for your concern.

Huh. I have a question.

What did people say before they could say "you sound like a broken record"?

Y'know what's worse than reading posts from those who bought permanent accounts?

Reading posts from people who got one as a gift. Every time I see one of those, I get my hopes up for about three seconds before remembering that my friends have no money, and that begging is disgraceful.

I understand the need to thank others, but... it really makes me feel self-consciously greedy.

Question.

When the most recent post in news says "Please note that we will accept money orders, check, and cash as forms of payment, with the following restrictions:

* All orders must be received within 30 days of the sale or they will be returned."

does that not, in fact, mean that you have ~ a month to pay your bill? So why be upset that your paycheck doesn't come for a week?

Y'know what else? Screw this. I *am* going to beg.

( Cutted because it's really disgraceful )

Hey, I'll make a deal with the last one. You spend money on charity, and I'll 1. do my best to donate time to that or a similar charity and 2. spam youse all with a post including links to the charities.

Wait, wait. I was just going to ask for stuff for me. I've got to stop doing this....

Edit: Hey, that worked! Thanks, wispfox!

Something somebody said got me thinking, on a bit of a tangent.

( This isn't cheery )

I'm locking this.

In a blatant change of subject...

I've decided I'd like to cultivate an eclectic taste in music. Because I've found there's very little I don't like, that's why.

Go ahead. Suggest your favorite artists, genres, songs, whatever. The more unusual, the better.

(Oh, and on that note, I've also recently discovered that I rather like (surprise, I really don't dislike much when it comes to music) Rosie Ledet. Why, I cannae say. But I rarely can.)

Okay.

If you got a permanent account as a gift, please post that in a special "Connie feels bad for being the jealous greedy type" filter that doesn't include me.

I'm going to read some of the books Lizziey attempted to steal from me. Bye all.

(Oh, and yes, did appreciate the coupon, muchly. Which makes the jealous greed feel even WORSE.)
