taunting, drabbling, pimping

[sarea]

Thanks to annibug for this cool scrollbar code thingy. And now I shall abuse it by writing a reaaaaaaaalllllllly long entry (or by spelling 'really' really long).

It suxors to be jade_okelani, because it means you left me with all of the Tim Tams we were supposed to share. I suppose I could package some of them up and send them to you ... I could. But I won't. Hahahahhahaa. *eats one. slowly.*

I've written two more drabbles for malfoy100 -- my goal is to have something for each challenge (so, at least one a week). I'm often too verbose in my writing, and I'd like to practice the technique of being succinct. But sometimes I get frustrated that something beautiful/meaningful in my head comes out sounding choppy/trite because of the limited number of words I can use. Or, it might just be my writing. Here's "Recognition" and "The Spy," both at the same link.

We're reading Good Omens at literocracy, and I love it. YAY for Literocracy voters.

Gmail accounts: Like everyone else, I have a billion invites now. Six, a billion, it's all the same. So if you're one of the last hold outs and would like Gmail, let me know. I'd like to benefit people who I at least vaguely know through my journal first before offering up to random people on the street. :D

And lastly, I feel compelled to share 10 of my favorite albums of all time, so here they are (in no particular order):

- Unearthed, e.s. posthumus
- Silence, Tara MacLean
- Purple, Stone Temple Pilots
- Dookie, Green Day
- Fumbling Toward Ecstasy, Sarah McLachlan
- Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park
- Let Go, Avril Lavigne
- New Miserable Experience, Gin Blossoms
- Decade, Duran Duran
- The Visit, Loreena McKennitt

The scrollbar makes some of your text disappear into your icon, though...

Send the TimTams. *g*

Albums: I can't believe you didn't mention Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits!

:O

But it looks perfect on mine!! I think you just have a freakish monitor.

I'm not sending any Tim Tams. They're ALL MINE.

I can't believe you didn't mention Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits!

How is that never speaking of it again?????

[ropo.livejournal.com]

THAT wasn't what we were never speaking of. It was the part where we sang along with a particular song. Besides, I already broke the vow so I'm out. *g*

My monitor ROXORS. If it doesn't look good on my beeyootiful 19" flat screen, it's not right, man.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I'm at work, so I am also on a beeyootiful 19" flat screen. I don't think it actually has anything to do with the problem. <g>

It works/looks perfect on mine. I've tried manipulating browser size, etc. Maybe it's our screen resolutions. Mine is set at 1280 x 1024 currently...

I'm guessing that it's because I use a different LJ style than you do... I have the icon in the top right of the entry, where I think you have it outside it, right? So it wouldn't affect yours.

See?

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. Yeah, that did it. I wonder if there's a way to work around that, or if this is just one of the limitations. Damn. I'm gonna try and figure it out. Damn your eyes.

Edit: Yeah, I've 'fixed' it now. Except it looks lame on my own journal, with all that blank space. Guess I won't be using this feature again. SIGH.

[ropo.livejournal.com]

Still looks the same for me, but anyway, it was just ... an *extra* scrollbar, when I already have one. Y'know?

send the tim tams

Good Omens is one of the funniest books you'll ever read. It is amazingly brilliant. If I hadn't thought Neil Gaiman was a god beforehand because of the Sandman series, I definitely felt that way after reading GO and Stardust.

I ♥ Neil Gaiman.

Good Omens! Huzzah! I just finished reading it, and frankly, I must now go to buy it. Cause it rocks.

"...Gayer than a tree full of monkeys on Nitrous Oxide."
"A million [i'm paraphrasing as best i can] sushi dinners cried out for vengance..."

^^

Happiness.

hiya, so i'd prolly fall under the strangers from the street category, but just in case all the people you vaguely know already have gmail accounts, i'd be grateful FOREVER if i could have one...email add: angel_dust527@yahoo.com

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Done. : )

[sjersey-tomato.livejournal.com]

The scrollbar thingie is cute, but the text gets lost in your icon. Does this disqualify me from a gmail invite? If you have any left, that is. *g*

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Naturally not. Where would you like me to send it? :D

As for the scrollbar ... Robbie has informed me of the sad limitation, which appears on some LJ styles (usually ones that have the usericons on the right-hand side). I don't think I'll be using it again.

[sjersey-tomato.livejournal.com]

Naturally not. Where would you like me to send it? :D


Doh! Send it to all4mulder @ aol . com (I'd forget my head...)

Thanks, hon!

hi, i know its probably unlikely that you have any more gmail invites left, but if you do, and don't mind giving one to a complete stranger, my friend would LOVE a gmail account, and her email address is sabrina_haegi@hotmail.com
thanks a bunch!
