I got a paid account! It was far easier than I thought it would be. See, someone bought Lulu (violetmist2003) a paid account and I was totally jealous, so I finally went to my mom, gave a half-assed explanation of what LJ was ("It's like this place where you can go and like talk to other people about stuff you have in common. And stuff. And you can make pretty icons and post them and... yeah!") and then told her paid accounts were better and I had enough money and I'd totally pay her back if I could use her credit card to buy one. So she asked me to give her the money first and I did, and then I bought myself 6 months of paid account time and 6 months of extra userpics. I've only uploaded a few now so I have ones of the fandoms I've been wanting to post icons of but I really need to be doing my homework now. I'll play around more with it later. And wheee, I can use a paid account layout! I'm so happy. I should've asked my mom months ago. And it won't expire until February 2, 2006! I mean, I logically know how long 6 months is, but it seems so much longer when I realize that I won't have to worry about renewing it until February. I mean, I've only had this LJ for less than 8 months. 6 months is long.

Pretty disappointing. I dropped from a 680 in reading on the last test to a 620. guh. Lowest score yet. My highest score was actually the very first test, a 690. I don't know how the hell I dropped so far. Really disappionted in myself for that. My mom got kind of pissed off about it, too. blah. In math, though, I shot up from a 690 on the last test (670 on the first) to a 740, which I am very pleased about. Got another 12 on the essay (at least that's staying consistent) and the same on the grammar, so a 740 on the writing again. If I could just freaking stay consistent on the reading (went from a 690 to a 640 to a 680 to a 620), I could actually have a pretty decent score (though nothing like Lulu's fabulous 2380. I totally hate you for that, by the way. You're far too smart for your own good). At least in my overall score, my math made up for my reading, so I only went down from a 2110 to a 2100. So, I'm still at the 2100 mark, which is my like... minimum goal for the actual test. Only one more test left. Let's hope I can get my reading score up for that.

I got an Audioscrobbler account earlier today and put a little thing in my info that says the last 5 songs I listened to on iTunes. I find it really cool, because I'm dorky like that.

No time to play around with Paid Account features right now, but I'm going to have loads of fun with them tonight. Ah, I'm so happy. :D

Hee, thank you! Your icon's awesome, too. It's Andrew McMahon from Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin, right? He's great.

Uh-huh.

Your's is from Dead Like Me?

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Yep, it's from Dead Like Me. I only watched the pilot episode about a week ago, but I fell in love with it instantly.

... really?


Because that show was cancelled, I think. Last year? I'm so confused.

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Yeah, it was cancelled, I downloaded the pilot because I heard it was good and watched it last week. Then I downloaded the first and second seasons and watched them the following weekend.

Oooh! I see

Yes, I loved that show to distraction.

George was just too awesome for words.

George really was awesome. I loved her. It sucks that it got cancelled after only its 2nd season.
