livejournal maintenance, and a poll!
First: my livejournal is now PRETTY!!
melyanna made a banner of gorgeousness! Text comes from Over the Rhine lyrics.
I succumbed to The Wonder That Is Component, too,because that's what Anna's banner-uploading tutorial was for because it gave me a cute little box to put Deep Thoughts Of The Week that I really should see every day. Bwah. Livejournal as a factor in my Old Country Buffet-style spiritual development. I left the comment space is in basic livejournal style to facilitate spammage, so you'll have to click on the link above to see the pretty.
Second: long overdue refriending of folk! I gave up when my brain started to explode, though.*fears* Hi. (Introduce yourself if you're feeling horribly left out and I will un-explode my brain for you!)
In related news, today is INTERNATIONAL UNFRIEND LITTLE RED DAY!
Because I've never had one before, and everyone else has them, and I was feeling left out. Standard rules apply -- unfriend me for whatever reason, no hard feelings, you can explain if you want, but you don't have to.
However, because everyone likes a good poll, I propose the following (poll completion not required for unfriending):
Wheee! In real-life news, my sister's parents saved my neurotic little life by intervening and taking it upon themselves to arrange me cat-free housing for the weekend of my sister's senior project and will drive me around so I won't have to stay out until all hours. I feel *very* young for needing this help, but the impending lack of death is indeed delightful. Thanks to those who offered me Words Of Sanity.
