A Few Things

[metonomia]

I've learned a couple of things over the last few days:

1. I need to change my alarm.  I'm currently sleeping through it, even on the highest volume, without even remembering reaching over to turn it off.  But I hate all the other ringtones.  But I need to change it.

2. My poor feet can no longer handle running around in the street barefoot.  I used to spend a large portion of the year without shoes, but that doesn't really work in Seattle, so now my feet are all scraped and sore, which hurts and also is just pathetic.

3. I've lost all my arm strength and wrist control.  I tried to hold a large pan in one hand today while I washed it, and my wrist cramped.  The muscular fruits of field hockey are completely gone.  Which is similarly pathetic to #2.


Someone talk me out of buying a paid account on here, please?  Only, it would be really shiny to have 100 icons.  But it'd mostly be a waste of money, right?

Um, heck yes it's a WASTE OF MONEY. The very idea of paid accounts is evidence of LJ's inherent evil. It preys on fangirl weaknesses, pretty icons being one of them.

Icons pretty....To quote Buffy, "Fire bad, tree pretty." Icons very pretty. I think you did get increased ability to edit posts, which would be nice so you could edit comments without deleting them.

I have one, was gifted it at a christmas present one year and have renewed it since. Or swapped paid time as present with someone else, which makes it feel less like an indulgence, even though you spend the same amount. :) i find it worth it - it works out to about $3 a month, paid account plus icon package. Just the paid would be about $2, I think? A bottle of soda a month is worth the features, to me.
