All right, so I think I'm back now.

My paid account finally expired, and I had enough money to get a new one, but I thought that all of my userpics but 6 were going to be deleted. So then when I saw that they just made them inactive, and would become active again once I bought the paid account time, I actually felt kind of disappointed because I kind of wanted to redo all my icons. So I ended up deleting everything and uploading stuff again, and now I'm only up to like 60 now which makes me happy, for some reason. I also uploaded several new ones that I made last night, which was the first time I made icons since like winter break, and now I'm all eager to make more icons, so I'll probably make more tonight.

Um, I can't actually think of anything else to say. First week back from semester break is always rather dull. I mean, it's been a nice week, but nothing much has happened. Oh! Do you remember the seminar project I bitched about first semester because of my lame partner? Well, I'm partnered with her again this semester, and it is by choice. I just realized that I know absolutely no one in the class and if I didn't partner with her I had no idea who I'd partner with, so I asked, and she said yes. This time I think we'll try to get a slightly later date (because first semester we were the absolute first group to go) but start on it like now. And we did get 108/100 last semester, so it didn't turn out to be completely horrible with her. Hopefully it'll work out.

Superbowl Sunday this weekend. Blah. I care nothing about football, and my parents are having a bunch of people over. At least now that I'm older I can claim to have piles of homework that I have to stay locked in my room to do and not interact with any of them.

New layout! Same header as before, but different style. I was trying to make an Opal layout work forever, but I couldn't make it so the width of the text boxes matched the width of the header, and that bothered me too much for me to use it. Maybe someday when I have plenty of time with nothing to do I'll attempt to make it work. Or I'll just make a header that's the right size.

Right now, I'm tagging all my old entries. Kind of wanted to use tags before, but I don't think you can use them with S1 layouts, which is what I had. After I finish that, I'll finish uploading icons (43 spaces left! wheee!) and... do something else that I was planning on doing but have totally forgotten about now.

I've only had a paid account for like 10 hours, but I totally love it already.

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.

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
